The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the way businesses operate, unlocking both immense opportunities and new challenges. At OneAdvanced, we’ve taken a decisive step forward, blending AI innovation with a firm commitment to security, data sovereignty, and customer-centric solutions. We have launched OneAdvanced AI– a strategic partner for organisations looking to leverage their data safely to revolutionise workflows, drive productivity, and empower smarter decision-making.
To illuminate the possibility of OneAdvanced AI, we spoke with Simon Walsh, our CEO, Andrew Henderson - CTO, and Amanda Grant - CPO. They share how our innovative approach ensures organisations can harness the power of AI securely and effectively.
Q: Why is secure AI vital for organisations today?
Simon Walsh: Security is paramount in today's rapidly evolving AI landscape. There are countless unknowns when integrating AI into existing workflows, and organisations must ensure compliance with credentials by adhering to GDPR and upholding data sovereignty. It’s critical to avoid placing confidential information in public domains. At OneAdvanced, our approach centres around bringing AI into the safety perimeter of an organisation’s IT systems. By doing so, businesses can train AI models on their private data while maintaining robust security, allowing them to fully harness the benefits of AI without risking sensitive information.
Q: What inspired the creation of OneAdvanced AI?
Amanda Grant: Many organisations recognise the powerful potential of AI to drive productivity, but they often feel uncertain about how to strategically and securely adopt AI solutions. Employees may independently explore AI services, but this creates risks regarding data control and safety. OneAdvanced AI was inspired by the need to offer a safe, secure, and trusted platform where organisations can confidently leverage AI. Our platform empowers businesses to maintain control, ensure data security, and unlock productivity gains without compromising trust.
Q: What makes OneAdvanced AI different from other providers?
Amanda Grant: Unlike other AI solution providers, OneAdvanced AI is deeply rooted in delivering a secure foundation for innovation. Our robust platform is built with integrated security features like Identity Management, Single Sign-On, and Multi-Factor Authentication. This ensures safe AI usage within a trusted environment tailored for our users. Additionally, we go beyond generic AI capabilities by incorporating sector-specific insights, enabling organisations to unlock productivity and generate tailored outputs that align with their unique needs and industry requirements.
Q: How does OneAdvanced AI create a secure environment?
Andrew Henderson: One of the most critical elements of OneAdvanced AI is its secure infrastructure. We’ve developed a platform with comprehensive safeguards, including integrated data management, to broker and manage access to AI services on behalf of our customers. This eliminates complexity for users while ensuring full control over data access, security, and even cost management. By hosting AI capabilities within a secure, controlled environment, we give businesses certainty about where their data resides and how it’s being used – something that’s invaluable in today’s digital landscape.
Q: Why is data sovereignty so essential in AI adoption?
Andrew Henderson: Data sovereignty is a critical consideration for any organisation adopting AI. Consumer-grade AI tools often operate without transparency around where the data is stored or processed, which poses significant risks. At OneAdvanced, we ensure that customer data remains in known, secure locations aligned with regulatory requirements. This enables businesses to confidently use AI technologies within their specific workflows, without jeopardising sensitive data or breaching compliance obligations.
Q: What is the role of retrieval-augmented generation in your AI strategy?
Andrew Henderson: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) allows us to merge decades of customer-specific data with the power of Large Language Models (LLMs). By integrating these data sources, we enable organisations to generate more accurate responses and improve the efficiency of their workflows. It’s not simply about accessing data; it’s about connecting the right data to solve real-world problems in a meaningful and efficient way.
Q: What is your vision for the future of OneAdvanced AI?
Simon Walsh: The future is about enhancing workflows in specific contexts to deliver smarter solutions for organisations and their customers. Agentic AI, in particular, represents a major opportunity. By creating collaborative AI agents that work securely with customer data, we’ll be able to solve complex problems more effectively. This vision focuses on enabling our customers to deliver advanced, sophisticated services for their own clients, driving productivity and innovation across industries.
Q: How does OneAdvanced plan to leverage Agentic AI?
Andrew Henderson: Agentic AI represents the next frontier in tailored AI solutions. By securely using our customers’ data within dedicated environments, we aim to set up intelligent agents that can collaborate and enhance workflows. These agents will address specific challenges and provide sophisticated solutions for day-to-day operations. The result will be new opportunities for tackling complex problems with precision and efficiency, empowering organisations to achieve more than ever before.
