Getting started
What does an AI implementation look like for a 10–50 person company?
The short answer
For a 10–50 person company, Summit Client Services runs an AI implementation in five steps, as your outsourced AI department: find the process, build it, train your people, run it, and review it every month after.
By Bruno Guberinich and Peter Davis III, founders of Summit Client Services. Updated .
Step 1: a working session to find the first process
Thirty minutes. Bring one process. We tell you plainly whether AI is worth doing there, before anything is built.
Step 2: build, against your own past results
The tool is built inside the systems you already use, and checked against real past results from that same process, not a generic demo.
Step 3: train the people who touch it
Training happens alongside the build, on the real task, with the people who do it, not a one-time class days removed from the work.
Step 4: run it for real
A recurring report went from 2 days to 5 minutes once a tool like this was running. A monthly commission run went from 4 days to about 2 hours, matched to the cent, and a person approves. Figures from client work. A company's own numbers depend on the process.
Step 5: review every month, pick the next process
Each month, what is working keeps running, what is not gets fixed, and the next process gets picked: the same cycle as steps 1 through 4, on a new task.
What you own
Everything runs in accounts your own company controls, so a team this size is not locked into one outside vendor to keep it running.
When it does not fit a company this size
If nothing repeats often enough across the team to add up, or the software you already pay for already covers it, this isn't worth doing yet.
Questions people ask next
Do we need an in-house AI person first?
No. One outside team does the planning, the build and the training, so nobody inside has to make AI their full-time job.
Is there a fixed price for a 10–50 person company?
No fixed price up front. It's one monthly fee, set after the first working session once we know the process.
Is there a contract?
It depends on the plan: the Automation Architect runs a set term — 3, 6 or 12 months; the Full-Service AI Department is month to month, or a set term for bigger companies. Either way, you keep everything we build.
What happens after the first process is done?
Every month we review the result and pick the next process. You can stop at any point.
More answers
- How long does it take to get an AI tool into daily use? Weeks, not quarters, for one well-chosen process. First tools are typically live within a month.
- How do companies automate a monthly commission run? Rules in code, every result matched to past payouts, a person approving. Four days became about two hours.
- Can AI cut the time it takes to build a monthly board package? Yes, for the assembly: pulling, tables, formatting. One recurring report went from two days to five minutes.
- All answers Every question we have answered so far, in one place.
