Would you rather have us run the platform, or keep it in your own environment?
With Exemplary’s managed cloud, we operate the platform for you. With an installation on your own infrastructure, it runs in your network or private cloud and your IT team operates it after handover. Choose based on your data requirements and the responsibility your team wants to take on.
We handle the AI setup. You choose where it runs.
Exemplary supports both options. We help assess your requirements and set up the platform. For your own environment, we install, test and hand it over with operating instructions. For managed cloud, we run it for you.
Talk to us about your task- You tell us where information is allowed to be processed.
- We help select the setup and check the technical requirements.
- We agree on ongoing responsibilities and support before launch.

| What matters | Managed cloud: we operate it | Your infrastructure: your team operates it |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | On dedicated infrastructure operated by Exemplary. | On your hardware or in your private cloud account. |
| Day-to-day operation | Exemplary operates the platform. | Your IT team operates it after handover. |
| Getting ready | Agree on the service, data requirements and setup. | Your IT team prepares the environment; we help install and test the platform. |
| What to budget for | The managed service and agreed setup. | Infrastructure, your operating team, setup and the support you select. |
When each approach fits.
Managed cloud: we operate it
- Your policies allow provider-operated hosting.
- You want us to take on day-to-day platform operation.
Your infrastructure: your team operates it
- Your information must stay in your own environment.
- Your IT team can take responsibility for running the installation.
Choose the home for your company’s document assistant.
The same business task can lead to different hosting choices.
- 01
Explain the data rules
Your team tells us whether documents may be processed outside its own network.
- 02
We assess the setup
We review document volume, tools and technical requirements with your IT team.
- 03
Agree who operates it
Choose managed operation by us or a documented handover to your team.
You should not have to choose the technology alone.
Bring your requirements and involve the person responsible for IT. We help work through the installation and model choices. The business decision is where the data can go and who will run the service.
Running in your environment comes with ongoing work.
Your team owns day-to-day operation after handover, including maintaining its infrastructure. Support is agreed separately. This keeps the promise of “leave the AI setup to us” clear about what happens afterward.
Questions you might have.
Can Exemplary run without an internet connection?
An installation with no internet connection is an available option. We assess the requirements and plan local models and offline updates with your IT team.
Does on-premise mean Exemplary operates our servers?
No. We install, test and hand over the platform. Your team operates its environment, with the support arrangement you choose.
Which option is cheaper?
It depends on usage, existing infrastructure and staffing. Compare the managed-service cost with the full cost of running your own installation.
