AI Implementation
That Actually Helps.
Everyone's talking about AI Solutions. Most of it is hype. We focus on what actually works for businesses like yours - practical tools that save time and make your team more effective.
No buzzwords. No experiments on your dime. Just AI that delivers real results.

Before the AI conversation, the readiness conversation.
Here's what most AI vendors won't tell you: the tool is the easy part. The hard part is making sure your business is ready for it.
AI needs clean data to work with. It needs defined processes to improve. It needs people who understand what it's supposed to do. Without those pieces, you're just paying for software that sits unused.
We start with readiness because we've seen too many businesses buy AI tools and get nothing out of them. That's not going to happen on our watch.
Questions we ask first:
AI Solutions We Implement
From Microsoft's built-in AI to custom-built agents, we deploy what fits.
1
Data Classification
What data do you have? Where does it live? What's sensitive vs. what AI can access freely? We map it out so there are no surprises - and no compliance nightmares.
2
Process Mapping
Which workflows eat the most time? Where do bottlenecks happen? We identify the processes where AI can actually make a difference - not just the ones that sound impressive.
3
Tool Fit Analysis
Copilot? Custom agents? Something else entirely? We match the right tool to your actual needs - not whatever has the best marketing.
AI Solutions We Implement
From Microsoft's built-in AI to custom-built agents, we deploy what fits.
Microsoft Copilot
When off-the-shelf AI isn't enough, we build custom agents tailored to your specific workflows. Connected to your data, trained on your processes, answering your team's actual questions.

Custom AI Agents
When off-the-shelf AI isn't enough, we build custom agents tailored to your specific workflows. Connected to your data, trained on your processes, answering your team's actual questions.

Email Automation
From manual sends to smart sequences
A client was manually sending 1,500 emails per week. One at a time. We built HubSpot workflows with AI-powered smart routing based on how recipients interacted with previous emails. Same outreach, fraction of the time, better targeting.

AI Knowledge Base
Query your data in real time
A client needed their team to access CRM data without pulling Excel reports and manually digging through rows. We built automated weekly data pulls into a secure SharePoint site that feeds an AI chatbot. Now the team just asks questions and gets answers.

Our 7-Step Implementation Process
From idea to working AI - methodically, not chaotically.
Every custom AI project follows a structured approach: capture your workflow, map the information flow, identify decision points, pinpoint bottlenecks, define triggers and actions, select the right tools, then implement, test, and optimize. No shortcuts. No surprises.

Questions About AI Implementation
We know you have questions and we have answers.
-
Is my business ready for AI?
Maybe. The honest answer is that AI readiness depends on your data quality, process clarity, and team willingness to adopt new tools. That's why we start with a readiness assessment - so you know what needs to happen before you invest in AI tools. Some businesses are ready now. Some need 3-6 months of groundwork first. We'll tell you the truth either way.
-
How much does AI implementation cost?
It varies widely. Microsoft Copilot licensing runs about $30/user/month on top of your M365 subscription. Custom AI agent projects typically start around $5,000-$15,000 depending on complexity and integration requirements. We'll give you a specific quote after understanding what you're trying to accomplish - no ballpark surprises.
-
What's the difference between Copilot and custom AI agents?
Copilot is Microsoft's AI assistant built into Office apps - it helps with tasks like drafting emails, summarizing documents, and analyzing Excel data. It works within Microsoft's ecosystem using Microsoft's AI. Custom agents are purpose-built for your specific needs - connected to your databases, trained on your processes, answering questions Copilot can't. Most businesses start with Copilot and add custom agents for specialized needs.
-
What about data security with AI?
This is exactly why we start with data classification. We help you identify what's sensitive, what AI can access, and what stays locked down. Microsoft Copilot respects your existing M365 permissions - if someone can't access a file normally, Copilot can't either. For custom agents, we build security controls from day one. Your data stays yours.
-
How long until we see results?
Copilot deployments typically show value within weeks - once people learn to use it, time savings are immediate. Custom AI projects usually take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on complexity. We set clear milestones so you can see progress along the way, not just wait and hope.
-
What if AI doesn't work for our use case?
Then we'll tell you. Part of the readiness assessment is determining whether AI actually makes sense for what you're trying to do. Sometimes the answer is "not yet" or "a simpler automation would work better." We'd rather lose a sale than sell you something that won't deliver.
