HiQo Solutions: Engineering Excellence for the AI-Augmented Future

As HiQo Solutions celebrates its 18th anniversary, the company stands proudly among The CEO Views “Most Influential Companies of 2025.” This recognition marks more than longevity; it affirms eighteen years of disciplined innovation, global collaboration, and flawless execution in some of the most demanding corners of technology.

HiQo began as a specialized team of mathematicians and data scientists and has since evolved into one of the most advanced AI-augmented software engineering and services companies. Its deep expertise spans AI/ML, data engineering, cloud computing, edge AI, and embedded systems, supporting complex, high-value projects for clients ranging from Fortune 500 enterprises to high-growth innovators. 2,000 successful projects later, HiQo continues to embody the same mission that has guided it from the start: to solve the hardest technical problems through precision, reliability, and excellence.

Eighteen Years of Technical Mastery and Global Reach

HiQo’s journey reflects the evolution of the technology industry itself. Founded eighteen years ago as a firm rooted in mathematics, data science, and advanced engineering, HiQo has continually moved up the value chain, integrating machine learning and AI-driven workflows into every stage of delivery.

Today, HiQo operates at the intersection of deep engineering expertise and intelligent automation — a domain few companies have truly mastered. From concept to deployment, the company delivers mission-critical systems that power industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and next-generation hardware development.

HiQo’s global footprint spans seven countries, including the United States, Poland, Serbia, Georgia, and Canada, serving clients that range from the world’s largest technology and consulting firms to emerging deep-tech ventures at the forefront of innovation.

This global reach, coupled with the ability to serve both enterprise scale and high-velocity innovation, defines HiQo’s identity.
It is an advanced technology engineering company that delivers with the precision of a craftsman and the agility of an AI-enabled system — bridging the worlds of rigorous engineering discipline and transformative automation.

Centers of Excellence: Global Foundations, Unified Precision

HiQo’s Centers of Excellence (CoEs) form the backbone of its operations. Headquartered in the U.S. and anchored in Poland, as well as supported by hubs across Eastern Europe, these centers specialize in Cloud Engineering, Data Science, AI/ML, and Edge & Embedded Systems.

Each CoE is a nerve center of expertise, where data engineers, AI specialists, and embedded developers collaborate on projects that demand cross-domain thinking. Whether designing intelligent gateways for industrial IoT or orchestrating global cloud infrastructures, HiQo’s teams thrive in complexity.“Our Centers of Excellence allow us to operate as one global hub of expertise,” explains Mathew Garver, CEO of HiQo Solutions. “Each center brings specialized mastery, but together they enable a seamless, intelligent delivery model, combining human expertise and AI acceleration.”

AI as Legacy

HiQo’s roots in mathematical modeling gave it an 18-year head start in the AI revolution. The company began integrating data science and machine learning long before they became industry buzzwords. Today, AI runs not just through the products HiQo builds but through the very way it builds them.

Every major function—from recruiting, estimation, development, testing, and project management—is now AI-enhanced. Proprietary internal systems leverage large-language models and intelligent automation to optimize how teams work, communicate, and deliver value.

This dual orientation of AI-enabled internally and AI-enabling externally has positioned HiQo at the frontier of what it calls intelligent engineering — a model where advanced technology development is continuously improved by embedded intelligence.

Execution Mastery

Across the technology industry, one challenge has remained stubbornly consistent: execution risk. Nearly 80 percent of IT initiatives fail to meet their original scope, budget, or delivery targets, according to industry metrics. The rise of AI projects has only amplified those risks, introducing new layers of complexity and uncertainty around ROI.

HiQo was built to be the exception: an engineering company designed from the ground up to deliver precision, predictability, and performance where others struggle to execute. “For nearly two decades, we’ve built our reputation on getting it done exactly as scoped, exactly as budgeted,” says Garver. “Our culture prizes accountability and precision because that’s what protects client trust.”

That discipline has made HiQo the partner of choice for high-stakes projects, especially where complexity, timelines, or compliance leave zero room for error. Clients repeatedly cite HiQo’s consistency as the defining factor in long-term partnerships, often extending engagements over multiple years and product cycles.

Innovation Around a Smarter Economic Model

In 2025, HiQo advanced a complementary commercial model through Value-Based Pricing, an innovation that complements, rather than replaces, the company’s traditional Dedicated Teams models.

The approach is designed to align economic value with actual business results while preserving flexibility and transparency for both HiQo and its clients.

As AI and automation accelerate productivity—sometimes by 25–40 percent—HiQo shares in the value creation with its clients while refining project clarity. The company’s goal is not to change how clients seek to buy services but to ensure pricing reflects both quality and impact.

“Value-based pricing doesn’t eliminate dedicated team models,” Garver notes. “It enhances them. It’s about aligning incentives so that when clients win, we win too.”

HiQo University: Building the AI-Augmented Workforce

HiQo’s long-term advantage rests on its people, and the company invests deeply in them through HiQo University, its in-house learning and upskilling engine.

Every engineer follows a structured growth path that reinforces both technical depth and cross-domain versatility. Training emphasizes mastery of AI-driven development tools and cross-domain expertise such as GitHub Copilot, cloud-native platforms, and applied data-science frameworks.

HiQo University also rotates engineers across different technology domains—from edge, cloud, AI, and embedded—developing holistic thinkers who can bridge the gap between hardware, data, and intelligence. “HiQo doesn’t just hire engineers; we focus on growing innovators,” says Garver. “By investing in our people, we invest in the next decade of innovation.”

Case Studies: Precision in Motion

Manufacturing: HiQo re-engineered a real-time data pipeline for a global manufacturer, reducing downtime by 20 percent and enabling predictive maintenance capabilities.
Healthcare: The company modernized a healthcare provider’s analytics architecture, migrating massive datasets into a secure, compliant, cloud-native environment that improved speed and reliability.
Enterprise AI Platform: HiQo delivered a production-ready agentic AI system for a spinout from one of the world’s largest consulting firms, meeting non-negotiable deadlines and setting a benchmark for future projects.

Each engagement highlights HiQo’s ability to combine speed, accuracy, and innovation, executing at a level that protects clients from the costly risks of failure.

R&D: Engineering the Intelligent Edge

Research and development at HiQo is not an afterthought; it is a core strategic function. The company’s R&D team bridges hardware, software, and intelligence to prototype new architectures for the intelligent enterprise era. Current initiatives span high-performance sensors, adaptive cloud-edge frameworks, and self-learning systems that continuously optimize performance in the field.

By combining AI with embedded and data-centric design, HiQo is engineering the building blocks of tomorrow’s intelligent infrastructure — systems that learn, adapt, and evolve alongside their users.

Looking Ahead: The AI-Augmented Services Company

As AI becomes inseparable from every layer of the technology stack, the companies that thrive will be those that can merge deep engineering with adaptive intelligence. HiQo stands at that intersection: a high-end software and technology engineering firm transformed into an AI-augmented services company.

The next two years will see HiQo expanding its Centers of Excellence, deepening partnerships with enterprise and high-tech clients, and continuing to evolve its AI-enhanced delivery systems. Its commitment remains the same: precision, trust, and flawless execution powered by intelligence.
