Where AI use casesbecome operational
A workspace brings together the data, model access, controls, and interfaces needed to make a specific use case operational inside your Azure tenant.
One workspace per use case
Dedicated, configured, governed
Ready for teams and systems
Web interface, API access, integration
Six components. One governed environment.
A workspace brings six core components together inside your Azure tenant, configured specifically for the use case it serves.
Connected data
SmartSpace connects to approved business data sources and keeps workspace data synced with source systems.
LLM access
Choice of models. OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, or bring your own. Flexible selection per workspace.
Role-based controls
Entra ID integration. Control who can access and use the workspace. Governed oversight built in.
Web interface
Conversational interface for end users. Task-focused workflows. No coding required to use.
API endpoint
Each workspace can be configured with the approved data sources, user access, interface, workflows, and API endpoints needed for the use case.
Team management
Add team members, assign roles, manage access. Collaborate within the workspace.
Built for faster, more practical deployment
The workspace model reduces the work needed to go from concept to operational use case.
One place to configure
Data sources, model choice, team members, permissions. Everything for a use case is in one environment.
Less custom work
Governance, security, compliance, and access are built in. No need to custom-build what SmartSpace provides.
Faster to practical use
Configure and deploy. Your team can start using a governed, connected AI environment in weeks.
Consistent pattern to scale
Second workspace, third workspace, tenth workspace. Same model, same governance, easier to manage.
Business users and developers access the same workspace
Different entry points for different needs. All routed to the same governed, connected environment.
Business users and teams
Conversational interface
Chat-like experience. Ask questions, get answers. No technical setup required.
Task-focused workflows
Pre-built workflows for common tasks. Analysts, managers, and knowledge workers use workspaces directly.
Governed access
Role-based permissions. See what you're allowed to see. Actions are logged and auditable.
Technical teams and developers
REST APIs
Full API endpoint for the workspace. Send prompts, retrieve results, build applications.
Integration into workflows
Workspaces can be extended through approved APIs and integration patterns to build AI capabilities into existing applications.
Operational visibility
Usage metrics, error tracking, performance monitoring. Observability built in.
Repeatable processes built on top of workspaces
Flows are optional extensions. They help you build repeatable, multi-step processes that use the same connected data and governance as your workspace.
Automation workflows
Chain operations together. Trigger actions based on conditions. Connect multiple steps into coordinated processes.
Batch processing
Process multiple items with consistent logic. Built-in error handling keeps operations reliable at scale.
Repeatable operations
Define a process once and reuse it across teams. Consistent execution with the same governance as the workspace.
Technical tools for extending and refining workspaces
Beyond the core workspace, SmartSpace provides tools to refine, debug, and build on top of your environment.
API and integration support
Workspaces can be extended through approved APIs and integration patterns to support custom processes and application development.
Debugging tools
Trace execution, see what the model received, inspect response formatting. Troubleshoot in context.
Workspace configuration
Configure data sources, access controls, model selection, and interface settings. Each workspace is tuned for its specific use case.
Implementation support
Integration guidance, API access, and technical support provided as part of the implementation programme.
From first use case to wider rollout
The workspace model scales. Create multiple workspaces for different teams, departments, or use cases. Each maintains the same governance and control.
First workspace
Prove value with a specific use case. Establish patterns and workflows that work for your organization.
Expand to additional teams
Marketing, sales, operations, or finance. Each team gets their own workspace, connected to their data.
Governance scales with you
Policies apply across workspaces. Audit logging is consistent. No re-architecture needed as you grow.
Consistency is key to scale. Each new workspace follows the same operational model. The second workspace is faster to deploy than the first. The fifth is faster than the second.
Ready to deploy your first workspace?
Each workspace brings connected data, model access, governance, and user interfaces together. Ready to deploy inside your Azure tenant.
One workspace per use case. Deployed in your Azure tenant. Governed from day one.
