Why it matters

Your team is already using AI. Make it secure, connected and productive.

Most businesses have AI in pockets. Very few have turned it into a company-wide capability that leadership can trust.

01

Shadow AI and data risk

Employees paste company data into personal AI accounts with no policy, visibility or controls.

02

Licenses without adoption

Seats get purchased, a few power users emerge, and everyone else goes back to the old way.

03

AI that can't see your work

Without connectors to email, files and business systems, AI answers stay generic.

04

No clear owner

IT, security and department leaders each hold a piece, and no one owns the outcome.

The Raise Networks difference

We run AI adoption as an IT program, not a one-time workshop.

We set up the platform, secure it, connect it to your systems and train your people on their real work. Then we stay on to drive adoption. Claude drafts, humans decide.

FAQ

Questions leaders ask us

Should we choose Claude or ChatGPT?

Both are strong. We help you decide based on your use cases, your Microsoft or Google stack, security needs and budget. Many companies standardize on one, some run both, and we support either path.

Is our company data used to train the AI models?

On their business and enterprise plans, Anthropic and OpenAI state that they do not train their models on your data by default. We confirm your settings and document data boundaries in your AI policy.

Do you only train, or do you set up the technology too?

Both. We deploy and secure the workspace, set up SSO and connectors, then train your people. Doing both is what makes adoption stick.

Can AI connect to our internal apps and data?

Yes. We use native connectors where available and build custom integrations with MCP servers and APIs, with least privilege access.

How is the training delivered?

Through one on one sessions, live group workshops and department build sessions, virtually or on site, all built on your team's real work.

What happens after the program?

Ongoing options include a champions program, office hours, adoption reporting and quarterly reviews, backed by our managed IT service desk.
