Most enterprise AI tools only reach 20% of the workforce. AI Assist deploys to 100% at roughly one-fifth the per-user cost, backed by managed deployment services, professional training, and dedicated technical support. On-device. Offline-ready. Fully managed.
A Dell-exclusive managed services bundle combining AirgapAI software, white-glove deployment consulting, professional training through Iternal AI Academy, and dedicated enterprise technical support. Full coverage. Data never leaves the device.
Organizations are stuck choosing between cost and coverage. The result is a two-tier workforce where productivity gains concentrate in select departments while the majority continue with manual methods.
The promise of enterprise-wide AI transformation remains unrealized. At current market per-seat rates, most companies can only justify AI access for a fraction of their people. This creates compounding disadvantages across the organization.
20% of employees get AI tools while 80% are left behind. Productivity gains stay siloed in select departments instead of scaling across the organization.
Token overage fees, per-query charges, and agentic workflow costs turn predictable budgets into unpredictable spend.
Cloud-based AI tools transmit sensitive enterprise data to third-party servers, creating compliance and security risks that regulated industries cannot accept.
Field workers, travelers, and remote employees lose AI access whenever connectivity drops. The tools disappear exactly when they are needed most.
At current enterprise AI per-seat rates, the math only works for a small slice of the workforce. Full deployment is financially impossible for most enterprises.
Sending enterprise data to third-party cloud infrastructure fails compliance requirements for defense, healthcare, financial services, and government.
If only 20% of employees have AI tools, 80% of your operational efficiency gains are left on the table. Competitors deploying at full scale will outpace you.
