We help your team use Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot safely, and build applications, websites and automation." publisher: Network London legal_name: Verdani Solutions Group Limited --- # AI development in London, starting with how your team uses AI Network London is an IT support and AI development company in London, based near London Bridge and working with clients across the world. Most of our AI work starts with adoption: helping your team use tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot confidently and safely. We also build applications, smart websites and automation. - A clear policy for how your team uses Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and other AI tools - Training and support so people feel confident using AI in their own work - Applications, smart websites and automation, built and looked after by the people who know your IT ## “Everyone’s using ChatGPT and we don’t have a policy.” Do any of these sound familiar? - Staff already use AI tools at work, and nobody has agreed what company information can go into them. - People have tried AI once or twice but don’t have a clear place to start. - Another company is offering to build you an AI system, and you’re not sure what to check before you sign. We believe AI is worth using when your people know how to use it well and your data stays where it should. ## Helping your team use AI confidently and safely Most of our AI work so far has been helping clients put AI to good use without putting their data at risk. We start with the tools your team already has. We agree with you what can and can’t go into them, check who can see which files, and show people how to use AI in their own work. Network London has looked after business IT for **20 years**, and the people helping with your AI are the people who already look after your IT. An investment firm asked us to review an AI platform another company was building for them. We went through the detail and spotted two issues. Their data would be stored in Singapore when it needed to stay in the UK, and they wouldn’t fully own what they were paying for. They went back to the table knowing what needed to change. We then limited the new app’s access to the two SharePoint sites it needed. We also build with AI. Claude, from Anthropic, is one of our main tools, and we use it for applications, smart websites, automation, and AI and agentic systems. We take the same care over data and access in our own work as we do when we review someone else’s. Tell us how your team is using AI now and we’ll help you decide where to start. ## Why work with Network London on AI? - **We already know your IT**: When we look after your IT, we already know your systems, your data and who can see what. AI tools depend on that, so there are fewer surprises. - **Security from the start**: Our security work is led by Ian Welch, our Technical Director, who holds CEH, CISSP and ISO 27001 lead implementer credentials. We agree where your data is stored and who can reach it before anything is switched on. - **People who know your business**: You’ll know us by name, and we’ll know your business. The people helping you with AI are the same people you call for IT support. - **20** years looking after business IT - **100+** businesses across the world trust us with their IT - **17** people in our team, many of them here for years ## What our customers have to say Three of the 100+ businesses we look after, and what we do for them. ### Rossair IT support, the phone system and a website that brings in enquiries, all looked after by one team.

[Read the story](https://www.networklondon.co.uk/case-studies#private-equity) ## How we help your business start with AI 1. **We talk about how your team uses AI now**: We find out which tools people already use, what information goes into them and what you’d like AI to help with. 2. **We agree the rules and check access**: We help you agree a policy, check who can see which files and set tools up so your data stays where it should. Then we show your team how to use them in their own work. 3. **We build where it helps, and look after it**: If an application, smart website or automation would help, we scope and build it with you. The same people who look after your IT keep it running. ## What does our AI development and adoption service include? - **An AI policy for your business**: We help you agree which AI tools staff can use, and what company and client information can go into them. - **Training for your team**: We show people how to use AI in their own work, so they feel confident using it day to day. - **Reviewing other suppliers’ AI work**: If another company is building an AI system for you, we can review the detail, including where your data will be stored and whether you will own what you’re paying for. - **Access limited to what’s needed**: We check which files each AI tool can reach and limit it to the data it needs. - **AI applications and smart websites**: We build applications and smart websites that use AI, around a process your team already follows. Claude is our main model for this work. - **AI automation for business**: Automation runs repetitive steps, like re-keying data or chasing approvals, without someone doing each one by hand. Your people get that time back. - **AI and agentic systems**: We also build AI and agentic systems, which carry out a series of steps across your software. We agree with you exactly what they can access. - **Based in London, working worldwide**: Our office is in The Leather Market, a short walk from London Bridge and Borough stations. We work with clients across the world, and London clients can easily meet us in person. ## Tell us what you need Jessica, our Operations Director, reads every enquiry and replies personally the same day.

Tell us how your team is using AI now, or what you’d like it to help with. Jessica, our Operations Director, replies to every enquiry personally, the same day. ### What is AI development for businesses? AI development for businesses means putting AI to work on a real job. For most of our clients that starts with adoption: helping staff use tools like Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot safely. It can also mean building an application, a smart website, an automation or an agentic system around the way your team works. ### What can Network London build with AI? We build applications, smart websites, automation, and AI and agentic systems, and we connect them to the systems you already use where we can. The right choice depends on the problem. We start by understanding the task, the people involved and the data it uses, then give you an honest view of what we’d recommend. ### Is our data safe during an AI project? We plan how your data is handled before anything is switched on or built. Our security work is led by Ian Welch, our Technical Director, who is a CEH, CISSP and ISO 27001 lead implementer with more than 25 years’ experience. We agree with you where data is stored, who can access it and how it is protected. Our [cyber security service](https://www.networklondon.co.uk/service/cyber-security) covers the wider picture. ### Our staff already use ChatGPT. Where do we start? Start with a conversation about which tools people use and what goes into them. From there we help you agree a simple policy, set up the tools you want to keep and show your team how to use them well. If Microsoft 365 is at the centre of your business, our [Microsoft Copilot service](https://www.networklondon.co.uk/service/microsoft-copilot) may be the natural next step. ### How much does AI development cost? It depends on what you need. Agreeing a policy and training your team is a different piece of work from building an application. Once we understand what you’d like to do, we’ll give you a clear quote. ### Why choose an IT support company for AI development? An IT support company already knows how your systems, people and security fit together. AI tools depend on good data, sensible access and reliable connections to other software. With Network London, the people helping with AI already know your wider IT, and you’ll know them by name. ## Looking for more managed IT services? - [IT helpdesk support](https://www.networklondon.co.uk/service/it-support): Everyday IT support from people who know your team and your setup.
