RIVERSIDE, California., February 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XYPRO, a PartnerOne company and market leader in security and compliance solutions for mission-critical systems, introduces Lionel, an in-house AI assistant designed to unlock institutional knowledge across the HPE Nonstop Compute ecosystem. This is a major milestone in PartnerOne’s applied artificial intelligence strategy.
Over the past year, XYPRO has focused its AI efforts on a specific operational challenge: critical knowledge exists, but it is fragmented, difficult to access, and slow to use. This problem is particularly pronounced in HPE Nonstop Compute environments, where publicly available information is limited and expertise is spread across decades of technical manuals, support tickets, internal systems, and the experience of highly specialized domain experts.
The impact of this fragmentation is slower integration, inefficient troubleshooting, and challenges in scaling expertise in mission-critical environments.
To solve this problem, XYPRO built Lionelan AI-powered assistant that provides a single, trusted interface to access verified answers from internal and external sources. Lionel allows employees and ultimately customers to ask questions without needing to know where the information is or spending hours searching through systems.
Lionel already offers measurable benefits, including:
- Reduced time to resolve complex security and compliance issues
- Improved access to historical context and institutional knowledge
- Increased engineering efficiency by minimizing time spent wading through dense technical manuals and documentation
By focusing on reliable data and practical results, Lionel augments human expertise rather than replacing it, ensuring the reliability and stability required in regulated enterprise environments.
“This work reflects a philosophy shared by the PartnerOne companies,” said Steve Tcherchian, CEO of XYPRO. “AI creates the most value when applied with discipline. By focusing AI on real-world problems and linking it directly to measurable improvements, we unlock insights at scale. »
Suzanne Fortman, Vice President of PartnerOne, added: “AI is at the heart of our investment strategy at PartnerOne. We look for companies and teams that apply technology with focus and intention. XYPRO’s approach to AI is a good example of how disciplined innovation based on real business needs can strengthen core businesses, leverage institutional knowledge, and create long-term value for customers and partners.
XYPRO’s approach closely aligns with PartnerOne’s broader strategy of long-term investment, operational excellence and value creation through targeted innovation rather than speculative experimentation. As XYPRO expands its use of AI across the organization and into the broader HPE Nonstop Compute market, the company will continue to apply the same lens: clear goals, reliable systems, and tangible business impact.
Through Lionel, XYPRO demonstrates how applied AI can strengthen core operations, protect institutional knowledge, and improve long-term value for customers, employees, and investors.
