Hammer Launches ‘Hammer AI Works’: A Unified Ecosystem to Bridge the Gap Between AI Ambition and Real-World Execution.
New strategic program features the ‘Hammer AI Works Laboratory’ and a dedicated partner portal to de-risk AI adoption for the channel.
Basingstoke, UK 8th April 2026 – Hammer today announces the launch of Hammer AI Works, a strategic programme designed to help organisations and partners successfully navigate the complexity of artificial intelligence, unlocking real business value through a unified, end-to-end ecosystem.
Despite the hype, the path to AI ROI is littered with 'Proof of Concept' graveyards. Organisations are struggling with fragmented data, a massive skills gap, and infrastructure complexity. Hammer AI Works is the antidote to this fragmentation
A Complete AI Ecosystem, Built for Delivery
AI Works brings together a collaborative community of vendors, resellers, integrators, AI consultants, and ISVs, aligning the technologies and expertise required to deliver successful AI outcomes.
The programme is designed to remove complexity and fragmentation, connect the right partners and capabilities, and enable true end-to-end AI delivery across the ecosystem.
At the centre of the initiative is the Hammer AI Works Portal - a dedicated partner and community hub that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing, and opportunity development across the full AI landscape.

Industry Expertise and Ecosystem Strength
Hammer AI Works is further strengthened through collaboration with leading AI consultancies and specialists, bringing deep expertise across data science, AI development, and industry-specific solutions.
