Why teams switch
Why teams scaling AI move from Azumo to Luby
The pilot worked; now it needs a platform team
Moving from proof of concept to production multiplies the engineering work. Teams move to Luby when the initiative needs a pool of 220+ engineers and product specialists to draw from.
Security reviews get stricter in production
As AI work reaches production, procurement asks for certifications. Luby holds ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701, with the scope stated on each certificate.
AI engineers plus the rest of the squad
Production AI needs data, backend, cloud, and QA engineers around the model. Luby staffs the whole squad, with AWS Partner and Google Cloud Partner status on the cloud side.
Honest take
When Azumo is the right fit
If you want an AI specialist firm with over 100 AI projects in production and lower listed hourly rates, Azumo fits. When the initiative needs a larger squad that covers data, cloud, and QA as well, Luby is built for that.
