AI for SMEs

AI and Copilot that really pull their weight in your SME

A small or mid-sized business has no time for pilots that go nowhere. We put AI to work on the tasks your team does every week, with your own documents as the source and clear agreements on what is and is not allowed. Whether you already use Copilot or still have to choose.

From one-off questions to everyday tools

AI that knows your own business

Almost everyone has asked ChatGPT something at some point. For an SME, AI only becomes truly valuable once it also knows what is in your own quotes, manuals, contracts and minutes. Then a colleague no longer spends half a morning hunting for that one document, but gets the answer with the source attached. That takes a sound foundation: which sources you connect, who may see what and which model you work with. Infodatek Group arranges it for you, as a Managed Intelligence Provider that also manages and secures your IT.

  • AI that only answers from sources the person asking is entitled to
  • The source shown with every answer, so you can check it yourself
  • Your business data is never used to train AI models
  • Training for your team using examples from your own daily work

Approach

How an SME gets started with AI

We do not start with a tool, but with a walk through the work. Where does a lot of time go right now? Think of writing up reports, answering the same customer questions again and again, searching folders for information or retyping data from one package into another. For each task we work out how many hours it takes today and how much of it AI can take over.

Then you pick one application with us that shows results quickly. If it works well, we build on it. If something disappoints, we drop it and move on to the next opportunity. That way you keep an overview and you do not pay for a large project whose return only shows a year from now.

Managed Cowork

Managed Cowork: an AI workplace for your whole team

Managed Cowork is one of the two modules of Digital Care, our own platform. It is a complete AI workplace that we set up and secure for you. Your colleagues find apps in it that each take a specific job off their hands, all working with the same data and the same permissions.

Already have a Copilot subscription and want to carry on with it? We are just as happy to help you with that. We are not tied to any single supplier.

  • Workspace: the starting point with your tasks, what is going on and your AI usage
  • Note Taker: records a meeting, writes it up and lines up the action items
  • Knowledge Vault: the place for procedures, ideas and knowledge that should apply company-wide, with permissions per role
  • IT Assistant: helps straight away with IT questions and creates a ticket for the service desk when needed
  • App Builder: your own applications on your own data, in a shielded environment

Data and privacy

Using AI safely with your own business data

The first question about AI is usually: what happens to our data? In Managed Cowork that is clearly arranged. The AI only draws its answers from sources the person asking is entitled to. Those permissions apply before anything goes back, even for packages that know nothing about roles themselves. So anyone without access to the HR folder will not get that information through the AI either.

Your data is not used to train models. You choose which model you work with: online models such as ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot, or a private model within the European Union. The latter suits you well if you handle sensitive information or if a customer asks for it. Infodatek Group is itself certified to ISO 27001 and NEN 7510, so careful handling of data is part of how we work every day.

People and agreements

Your team learns to use AI smartly and responsibly

An AI workplace only pays off when your colleagues actually use it. People who already experiment will find their way. Most of the gain lies with colleagues who still hesitate: what can I use it for, and what am I allowed to put in? That is why training comes with it, built on situations from your own work, in Dutch or in English.

Together we set down agreements everyone understands: which data belongs where, what you share and who to turn to when in doubt. And where AI can do more than answer, our engineers build integrations and automations on the packages you already have, using MCP and APIs. For example, an application form that lands in your system without anyone retyping it.

Applications

What AI does in different kinds of SMEs

Every business uses AI in its own way. A few examples of how that works out in practice.

Professional services

Advisers and firms work with lots of documents and confidential files. The Knowledge Vault makes earlier advice, templates and agreements easy to find, and the AI answers with the source attached, so you can check it right away.

Manufacturing and engineering

Work instructions, manuals and fault reports are often scattered across folders. With AI a technician or work planner quickly finds the right document, and the Note Taker records what was agreed in the team meeting without anyone taking notes.

Wholesale and logistics

Many questions from customers and suppliers look alike. AI helps your team write a good reply faster, based on your own terms and product information, and automation removes the retyping between systems.

Health and social care

If you work with sensitive data, you choose a private model within the European Union. That way you use AI for meetings, reports and sharing knowledge, while knowing exactly where your information stays.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about AI and Copilot for SMEs

We already have Microsoft 365 Copilot. Do we still need you?

Copilot is a good start, and it delivers more when it is set up properly: the right permissions in SharePoint and Teams, tidy folders and colleagues who know what they can do with it. That is where we help. If you also want a workplace with its own apps or a private model, we look together at whether Managed Cowork fits. You do not have to choose one or the other.

Is our data used to train AI models?

No. In Managed Cowork your data is not used to train models; it stays yours. If you work with sensitive information, you can also choose a private model that runs within the European Union. Beforehand we agree which sources you connect and who may access what, so you know exactly what the AI can see.

Can every colleague reach every document through the AI?

No. The AI only uses sources the person asking is entitled to. Anyone who cannot open the management folder in the normal system will not get that information by asking the AI either. Every answer comes with its source, so everyone can check where it came from, and confidential information stays where it belongs.

Which AI model will we be working with?

You choose, and it can differ per role. In Managed Cowork you work with online models such as ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot. If you want your data to stay within the European Union, a private model within the European Union is also an option. We advise which model suits which kind of work, so you do not have to guess.

Is AI also worthwhile for a company with ten or twenty staff?

Certainly. In a small team especially, it makes a real difference when reports, searching and recurring emails go faster. We start small, with one application that saves time straight away, and only expand if it works. Your colleagues get a short training session with examples from your own work, so they can put it to use the next day.

How do we handle an AI policy without a thick document?

Together we make agreements that are visible in the work itself, instead of a document nobody reads. Which data goes where, what do you share and what not, and who do you call when in doubt? In Digital Care you can see which source belongs to an answer and who asked the question, so you can show it when a customer or auditor asks.
