AI that works
in the real world.

Most AI advice comes from people who've never secured a network or protected a customer record. We're not them. We put AI to work inside the systems you already run — locked down, integrated, and supported so your team actually uses it.

The core idea

The hard part of AI
was never the model.

Anyone can open a chatbot. The model is a commodity that gets cheaper every quarter. The work that actually decides whether AI helps or hurts your business is everything around it.

Identity. Data governance. Security. Integration with the tools you already use. And the change management that gets a nervous team to actually adopt it. That's not AI trivia — it's twenty years of infrastructure work, and it's exactly where we live.

Why us

There's an empty seat at the table.
It has your name on it.

The AI consulting market splits into two camps, and both leave a gap a serious operator can drive a truck through.

The hobbyists

Great prompts. No plan.

Fluent in models, but they've never managed identity, configured SSO, or thought hard about where your data goes. The moment you ask "is this safe?", they freeze.

↳ AI Integration Solutions

Enterprise discipline, your scale.

Infrastructure-grade security and integration, delivered at SMB price by someone who answers the phone. We start with "is this safe?" — because that's what protects you.

The big consultancies

Capable. Uninterested.

Competent but priced for the Fortune 500 at $300–$600/hour. They won't return a 30-person firm's call, let alone tailor a solution to it.

How we engage

Four ways we put AI to work

Most relationships start small and grow. We diagnose first, deliver one focused win, then stay on to optimize and expand. No giant up-front bets.

A

Assess & Advise

A focused, paid evaluation of your readiness, data, and security posture, plus the AI opportunities most worth pursuing — turned into a prioritized roadmap you own. The smartest first step.

From $2,5001–2 weeksPure expertise

B

Deploy & Empower

Stand up commercial AI tools properly inside your environment — licensing, identity, data boundaries, and security — plus the training that makes your team actually adopt them. Our bread and butter.

C

Automate & Build

The work that runs without a human in the loop — workflow automations, document-aware assistants, and tightly scoped task agents — built carefully, monitored, and accountable.

Care & Govern

Ongoing monthly support that keeps everything secure, current, and improving: monitoring, optimization, new-tool evaluation, and acting as your outsourced AI officer.

Is your AI
actually safe?

Before you trust an AI system with your data and your customers, know where it really stands. Our interactive AI Risk Scorecard grades your posture today — on a risk model spanning all ten categories of the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (2025), structured by the NIST AI Risk Management Framework — and shows which additions close the most risk for the least effort. Same deterministic model as our paid AI Security Assurance Assessment.

Security, first

Your data is the
first thing we protect.

The fear that kills most AI projects is "where does our data go?" It's a fair question, and answering it well is our whole discipline. Before anything connects, we document exactly where data lives, what each vendor can and can't see, and how it's locked down.

Data boundaries, documented

A plain-English map of where data flows and what's contained, before a single tool is switched on.

Identity & access done right

SSO, permissions, and access boundaries configured the way a real IT shop expects — including HIPAA-ready paths.

Held to our own standard

Our whole operation runs on governed AI we built — Aiden at the front office, specialized systems behind him — all under the same rules we'd hold your systems to. See how we govern our own AI →

What you can expect

The commitments
we don't bend.

We're a new practice with a long track record. Until our client case studies are public, here's the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.

01

Fixed scope, fixed price

You'll know the cost and the outcome before you commit. No open meters, no surprise invoices.

02

Security reviewed before launch

Every deployment gets a documented data-and-access review. We never connect what we haven't vetted.

03

Measured in outcomes

Hours recovered, errors reduced, capacity unlocked — every engagement ties to a number you can see.

04

Honest, always

If a cheaper tool, a smaller scope, or "not yet" is the right call, that's what you'll hear from us.

Common questions

Straight answers about AI integration

The questions business owners actually ask us — answered the way we'd answer them across a table.

What does AI integration actually mean?

Connecting AI tools — Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or custom assistants — to the systems your business already runs, with identity, security, and data boundaries engineered properly. Integration is the difference between a chatbot demo and AI that does real work in your workflows.

How much does AI integration cost for a small business?

Every engagement is fixed scope, fixed price — you approve the cost before we start. Most clients begin with a paid AI Readiness Assessment, then grow into deployment, automation, or ongoing care as results prove out. The full transparent menu is on our services page.

Is it safe to connect AI to our business data?

It can be — when the boundaries are engineered first. We document where your data lives, disable vendor training on it, scope access with SSO, and review security before anything launches. Our free AI Risk Scorecard shows where your current posture stands.

Which AI tools do you work with?

We are 100% vendor-neutral: Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude, Google Gemini, Power Automate, Zapier, Make, n8n, and custom knowledge assistants (RAG) built on your own documents. We recommend what fits your systems — not whoever pays a referral.

Do you only serve Charlotte, North Carolina?

AIIS is based in Charlotte, NC, and works with small and mid-sized businesses across the United States. Most engagements run perfectly well remotely, with on-site work available regionally.
