SPR review

Chicago headquarters, a build practice, and a named client result.

Verdict

SPR gives its headquarters as 71 South Wacker Drive and splits its AI work into two halves: Scale AI, covering direction, governance and an AI native workforce, and Build and Modernize, covering enterprise AI solutions and AI consulting. It is one of few firms here that names clients with a number attached. Its homepage says that working with Concept Elements on Drive Weather's trip assistant, response time fell from about 50 seconds to 10 seconds, and quotes VGM Insurance's senior vice president of technology by name.

What customers praise

A named client and a measured before and after, which most firms on this page cannot show.

What customers criticise

No price, no stated headcount and no partner tier on the pages read. The page links to a guide on AI pilots but offers no pilot with a fixed length. The Drive Weather figure is a vendor claim.

Best for

A Chicago mid-market or enterprise company with legacy software that needs AI built into it, and that wants a local firm which names clients and a measured result.
