SMEs need affordable, proportionate AI — not over-specified enterprise suites. dgm is an AI consultancy for UK SMEs, building practical AI with osFoundry. (dgm is an independent integration partner; osFoundry is a separate company’s product.)
What we do for SMEs
We help UK SMEs adopt AI proportionately:
- scope an affordable first use case;
- build and integrate it;
- keep it governed (proportionately); and
- prove value with a small pilot.
No over-buying, no over-engineering. (See AI for small business.)
Affordable by design
Usage-priced platforms with no per-seat fees mean cost tracks use, not headcount, so a focused use case can be funded from operating budget. The common mistake is buying an over-specified enterprise suite for SME needs — a proportionate, usage-priced approach is far better value. Start small with one use case. (See AI platform comparison for UK SMEs.)
Use cases that suit SMEs
Internal, lower-risk use cases with clear value: drafting, document handling, enquiries, knowledge retrieval, back-office automation. These deliver quick, measurable time savings. We help you pick the strongest first use case and prove it.
Data control matters for SMEs too
Even small businesses handle personal and confidential data, and the common mistake is staff pasting it into consumer AI. We keep sensitive data controlled (self-hosting or an EU region — osFoundry publishes US/EU/JP regions, not a UK one) and set a simple AI use policy — proportionate governance, not bureaucracy. (See AI governance for UK SMEs.)
Engagement and pricing
A fixed-fee assessment and roadmap, then a monthly engagement, with no per-seat fees — scope kept proportionate to an SME. Contact us for a quote.
dgm is an independent integration partner with zero integrations so far — we’re transparent about that, and we’ll recommend a different approach if it fits you better. To scope affordable SME AI, book a consultation with dgm. General information; scope and pricing per project.
