For too long, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) have been told they need to buy "enterprise-grade" software to get powerful capabilities. But when it comes to AI, enterprise doesn't mean better; it means bigger, more expensive, and more complex.

At ConfiGPT, we're flipping that script. We built our platform specifically for the needs of the small business owner, recognizing that your challenges aren't smaller versions of a Fortune 500 company's — they’re different.

The Cost Trap: Value vs. Vanity Pricing

Enterprise AI is priced for vanity. It's built around massive, non-negotiable licensing fees, often requiring six to eighteen months just for implementation. This model is designed to support huge internal IT departments, not small business budgets.

Small Business AI Wins: ConfiGPT is focused on predictable, affordable SaaS pricing and immediate Return on Investment (ROI). You shouldn't need a year and a team of consultants to start seeing value. We deliver enterprise-grade security (Swiss hosting, data sovereignty) without the enterprise-grade price tag. We solve problems today, not five years from now.

The Complexity Barrier: Simplicity vs. Overkill

Enterprise AI platforms are often burdened by overkill—hundreds of complex features, confusing menus, and layers of customization built for fifty specialized engineers. They are simply too much for a lean team.

Small Business AI Wins: ConfiGPT is built for simplicity and speed. Our core design philosophy, proven by our architectural lessons, is that the user experience must be clean. Features like our centralized Workspace Admin controls ensure that your team gets a consistent, simple interface focused only on getting work done. You don't need a PhD to get accurate answers from your own confidential documents.

The Data Dilemma: Privacy vs. Public Cloud Assumptions

Standard enterprise solutions assume you operate within massive public clouds (AWS, Azure) which instantly complicates data sovereignty and regulatory compliance, especially with Switzerland’s strict laws. They force you to fit their complex infrastructure model.

Small Business AI Wins: We define our platform by privacy first. We offer simple, Swiss-hosted options (Shared or Dedicated) and even Self-Hosting for maximum control. Our architecture exists to protect your competitive advantage and client data locally. We remove the regulatory headache so you can focus on growth, knowing your data is shielded by OCIM's cybersecurity expertise.

The Support Gap: Partnership vs. Documentation

When a complex enterprise system fails, you often get routed through automated support channels or pointed toward dense technical documentation. You’re left alone to fix a system you didn’t ask to build.

Small Business AI Wins: As part of the trusted OCIM family, we offer personalized support and consulting. We are partners who understand the local market and your specific business goals. When you choose ConfiGPT, you get the strategic guidance (RAG planning, prompt development) needed for success—not just a software license. We ensure your AI is a stable, supported asset, not a costly liability.

The Bottom Line: Enterprise AI means big risks and big budgets. ConfiGPT means big security and big efficiency, delivered simply, affordably, and locally.
