# Help shape the IOWIS Platform through our pilot programme

The IOWIS Platform gives your employees on-premises AI for documents, company knowledge and everyday tasks. As a pilot customer, you work directly with our development team. We prioritise suitable enhancements for your use cases.

[Enquire about the pilot programme](https://iowis.com/en/contact)

## Help shape the platform’s development

You share your company’s requirements and discuss the features you need with our development team. Together, we determine how they fit into the IOWIS Platform and which enhancements to prioritise within the pilot programme.

You can try out new features early. Your feedback helps us develop them further for day-to-day use.

## Use the IOWIS Platform

As a pilot customer, you use the IOWIS Platform with the features included in your chosen plan. While you work with it, we continue to develop the platform in dialogue with you.

We tailor deployment, infrastructure and setup to your requirements. Together, we determine which [deployment model and hardware procurement options](https://iowis.com/en/platform#deployment-and-hardware) suit your business.

## Working together during the pilot period

The pilot programme is for companies that want to use the IOWIS Platform for specific day-to-day tasks and stay involved in its development.

You nominate a point of contact who brings together feedback from your company and discusses it with us. Together, we agree on which new features you will try and how we will organise feedback. These features may change during testing.

## Getting started as a pilot customer

In our first conversation, we discuss your use case and show you the IOWIS Platform. We clarify which features, data sources and integrations you need.

We then agree on deployment, setup and how we will work together during the pilot. The pilot period lasts 12 months, and we agree on the start date together. To take part, your agreement must be signed by 31 December 2026.
