    Overview

    What Managed Services means in practice

    You get AI tools that are watched, costed and kept within your rules.

    The service covers the AI side of your technology: the tools your team uses, the models behind them, what they cost, the rules for using them and who uses them. We learn your tools, your approach to risk and how your people work, and a named person on your side signs off each change.

    Questions

    Questions about Managed Services

    How is this different from IT managed services?

    IT managed services cover devices, networks and a helpdesk. This service covers your AI tools: the models behind them, what they cost, the rules for using them and who uses them.

    What does the service include?

    User access, spend tracking and cost reviews, model choice, usage rules and an acceptable-use policy, data controls, quality monitoring, a prompt library, training and supplier management. We agree which of these you need.

    How is the service priced?

    We agree the fee and what it covers in a written proposal before the service starts.

    Which AI platforms do you support?

    The main platforms, including Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, and specialist tools. We manage setups that use more than one supplier.

    How do you control AI spend?

    With spend dashboards, budget alerts per user and per project, and a cost review each month, so you see what is spent, on what and whether it is worth it.

    How long does onboarding take?

    It depends on how many tools and users are involved. Before the service starts, we agree an onboarding plan covering setup, documentation, usage rules, dashboards and training.

    Can this be combined with Agent Deployments?

    Yes. We build your AI agents and run the setup they work in, so one team handles changes when an agent needs adjusting, and your named person signs them off.
