An on-premises AI platform
for your business

Through a single interface, employees can use general-purpose AI features, custom assistants, agents, documents and internal knowledge resources. They can create, analyse and organise content, and draw on company information in their answers and workflows.

Administration is centralised too. Users, groups, assistants, knowledge bases, files, tools and integrations can all be managed and assigned appropriate access permissions.

The platform includes:

• AI assistants, agents and workspaces,
• knowledge bases and document processing,
• plugins, interfaces and automation,
• administration with roles, permissions, usage analytics and audit logs,
• hardware selected for your requirements, offline updates and support.

Different teams can work on the same AI platform without having to introduce and administer a separate solution for each department.

Assistants can be configured for specific tasks, teams or subject areas. They have their own instructions and can be connected to selected knowledge resources and tools, with appropriate permissions.

Employees can use them to:

• write, edit and translate text,
• summarise or structure content,
• organise and present information,
• develop drafts,
• address questions on a particular subject,
• support recurring tasks with an assistant configured for that purpose.

Assistants can be used individually or shared with selected user groups.

AI agents can handle multi-step tasks using the knowledge sources, tools or interfaces they are authorised to access.

For example, they can:

• gather information from multiple sources,
• prepare for research,
• create reports or documents,
• process data across different systems,
• initiate defined steps in a workflow,
• make results available for further work.

Plugins, APIs and optional automation capabilities also allow existing business systems and workflows to be integrated.

Role-based and fine-grained access control

The IOWIS Platform combines role-based access control (RBAC) with fine-grained permissions for individual items of content and platform components.

Administrators can specify:

• which users and groups have access,
• who can use, edit or manage assistants and agents,
• which files and knowledge bases are available,
• who can access projects and workspaces,
• which plugins, tools and features are enabled,
• which integrations and data sources can be used,
• who can change administrative settings.

Roles and permissions can be configured to reflect your organisational structure and use case.

Through single sign-on (SSO) and LDAP, the platform can connect to existing identity and access management (IAM) systems and user and group management.

Audit logs and traceability

Relevant system activity, usage and administrative actions are logged and can be reviewed by authorised administrators.

The audit logs record:

• access to relevant areas of the platform,
• changes to roles and permissions,
• administrative configuration changes,
• changes to assistants, agents and knowledge resources,
• other events relevant to security and operation.

Logging access and changes supports internal reviews, audits and the investigation of security-related activity.

Retention and deletion policies

Retention periods and deletion schedules can be configured for different types of content, usage data and logs.

The platform supports:

• company retention policies,
• defined deletion policies,
• limits on how long data is stored,
• controlled handling of log and usage data,
• technical implementation of internal data protection and governance requirements.

Your company determines the applicable periods according to the use case and internal responsibilities.

For a fully on-premises deployment, IOWIS supplies the platform and suitable hardware for your company’s infrastructure. The hardware configuration depends on the features you need, the models you use and the expected workload. Hardware can be purchased, rented or leased.

An on-premises appliance with an external GPU server

An on-premises appliance can also be combined with an external GPU server by individual agreement, subject to your data protection requirements and intended use. The platform and data storage remain on-premises; the inputs and knowledge content needed for each request are sent to the external GPU server for AI processing.
