Technology That Lets Your Team Focus on Clients, Not Admin
Your consultants, attorneys, and specialists should be billing hours -- not fighting spreadsheets. We deploy private AI, open-source CRM, and workflow automation purpose-built for professional services firms.
Sound Familiar?
These are the technology frustrations we hear from firm leaders every week.
Billable Time Lost to Admin
Your highest-value people spend 30-40% of their time on data entry, status updates, and chasing information instead of serving clients.
Client Data Everywhere
Client details live in email, spreadsheets, shared drives, and someone's notebook. Nobody has the full picture, and things fall through the cracks.
AI Privacy Concerns
You want to use AI for drafting, research, and client prep -- but sending confidential client data to ChatGPT or Copilot violates your duty of care.
Expensive Per-Seat CRM
Salesforce, HubSpot, or Dynamics at $75-$300/user/month adds up fast. And half your team barely uses it because it wasn't built for your workflow.
Solutions for Professional Services

Client Relationship Management

60-Person Consulting Firm Deploys Private AI
A management consulting firm with 60 employees across three offices needed AI capabilities for proposal writing, research summarization, and client prep. But sending confidential client strategy documents to ChatGPT was a non-starter -- their clients include public companies with strict NDA requirements.
We deployed Ollama with Open WebUI on their internal server, giving every consultant access to a private AI assistant through a familiar chat interface. We also migrated their CRM from Salesforce to SuiteCRM (saving $4,200/month), and connected everything with n8n automations for lead routing, follow-up sequences, and weekly utilization reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from professional services firms exploring open-source technology.
100% private. We deploy Ollama and Open WebUI on your own infrastructure -- your server, your network. No data is sent to OpenAI, Google, or any third party. The AI model runs entirely locally, meaning client documents, case notes, and communications never leave your control. This meets the strictest confidentiality requirements for legal, financial, and consulting firms.
For most professional services firms, absolutely. SuiteCRM handles contact management, opportunity tracking, email integration, activity logging, and reporting -- the core features firms actually use daily. The difference: zero per-seat licensing fees, full data ownership, and unlimited customization. We migrate your existing Salesforce data, recreate your workflows, and train your team. Most firms find they use more of SuiteCRM because it's configured specifically for their process, not a generic template.
We sign NDAs before any engagement begins. During implementation, we work with anonymized test data whenever possible. All systems are deployed on your infrastructure with encrypted connections, role-based access controls, and full audit logging. We never retain copies of your data after a project completes. Our process is designed for firms with the strictest confidentiality requirements -- including legal, healthcare, and financial services.
