Enterprise AI
Enterprise AI refers to AI systems designed for organizational use, with requirements around security, compliance, integration, access control, and auditability that consumer AI products do not meet.
Definition
Enterprise AI is the category of AI products intended for use inside organizations rather than by individual consumers. It is distinguished from consumer AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude general-purpose chat) by a different requirements profile: Single Sign-On (typically SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect), role-based access control, audit logging, integration with existing enterprise systems (SharePoint, Teams, Slack, HRIS, ERP), data residency guarantees, SLAs with enterprise support, customer-controlled encryption, and contractual commitments about training data and data processing.
Why it matters
Generic AI tools have driven rapid individual productivity gains but cannot be deployed safely to handle internal knowledge in regulated industries. Enterprise AI addresses the gap by providing the security, compliance, and operational controls required by IT, legal, and procurement — at the cost of slower rollout and higher unit cost.
How Volentis.ai handles it
Volentis.ai is built specifically for European enterprises that want the productivity of modern AI without the risk of consumer-grade AI tools. EU-only hosting, GDPR Article 28 compliance, EU AI Act readiness, no training on customer data, SSO, and role-based retrieval are all included by default — not add-ons.
