AI

Put AI to work with your data protected from day one.

We help you choose, license, and roll out AI tools and agents such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Grok Bot, along with the apps they connect to. Permissions are cleaned up, sensitive files are labeled, and your team works under clear rules for what goes into each tool.

Who it’s for

Useful AI with business information protected

AI Readiness fits organizations that want approved tools and clear rules before AI platforms, agents, and meeting assistants reach the whole team. We work with clinics, manufacturers, law firms, professional firms, and other teams across Austin and Central Texas.

Your staff may already use public AI sites. We find that use, name the tools you approve, and close the gaps that would send business information to the wrong place.

AI Readiness works with managed IT or managed Microsoft 365, and pairs with Healthcare IT and Cybersecurity.

What’s included

What we assess

We review the environment you already run. You leave knowing what can proceed, what to fix first, and which tools and data stay in approved systems.

ALCON DTS reviewing identity and access

Identity and access

Who can sign in, who holds admin rights, and how access changes when people join, move, or leave, including guest and service accounts. Approved AI tools see only what those permissions allow.

ALCON DTS reviewing sharing and collaboration

Sharing and collaboration

SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, Google Drive, and external sharing. We find files open to anyone with the link and stale permissions, and show what an AI tool would see the day you turn it on.

ALCON DTS reviewing managed devices and endpoints

Devices and endpoints

Windows, macOS, iPhone, and iPad used for work. We check updates, protection, encryption, and approved apps so business information on every device meets the same standard.

ALCON DTS reviewing data classes and current use

Data and current AI use

Patient records where present, plus HR, financial, legal, client, and proprietary files. We map which AI tools and add-ons are in use today and where that information goes.

    Why it matters

    Why readiness comes first

    AI tools work through the permissions already in place. A file shared too widely years ago can surface in an assistant’s answer in seconds.

    That makes readiness the first step and licensing the second. We find existing access, set what is approved, and close the gaps before more people get the tool.

    Your team keeps using AI, and business information stays in approved systems while they do.

    How it works

    How implementation runs

    Review

    We look at sign-in, sharing, devices, and how your team uses AI today, then show you what is ready to pilot and what to clean up first.

    Rules and licensing

    We write your acceptable AI use policy, recommend the platforms and license levels that fit your data, and close the identity and sharing gaps a pilot depends on.

    Rollout

    The approved tool goes to a pilot group first, then to more of your team as results come in. Some organizations start with rules for public AI sites and meeting assistants. Others are ready for a Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Grok Bot pilot. EHR, line-of-business platforms, and legal obligations stay with their owners. See Acceptable AI Use.

    Questions

    FAQ

    AI Readiness serves clinics and other covered entities, manufacturers and engineering firms, law firms, marketing firms, technology companies, and other professional teams across Austin and Central Texas.

    A license is one option among several. We look at how AI already shows up in your work and whether identity, sharing, and devices are ready for an approved tool. When you are ready to license, we recommend the plan level that fits your data.

    That is common. The review maps what is in use, which tools can continue with an owner, and which need a written exception and a boundary.

    Those services carry your day-to-day support and security. AI Readiness is the preparation that comes before an approved AI tool.
