AI Done Properly, Not Just Quickly

AI Done Properly, Not Just Quickly
Practical AI, Not Hype

Most organisations don't have an "AI development" problem, they have an architecture, governance, integration and security problem. We help you cut through the noise and apply AI where it delivers real, measurable value, without exposing your business to unnecessary risk.

25 Years of Enterprise IT & Government Experience

Since 2001, PicNet has delivered IT services to many of Australia's major corporations, government agencies and private organisations. We understand compliance, cloud architecture and security, and we can build software when it's genuinely needed. Few AI providers can say the same.

  • Enterprise architecture and systems integration
  • Cloud platforms - Microsoft 365, Azure and AWS
  • Cybersecurity and data protection
  • Custom software development
  • Compliance, policy and governance
  • A local, Sydney-based team - no offshoring

THE PATTERNS WE DEPLOY, AND HOW WE KEEP THEM SAFE

How We Put AI to Work

Private AI Assistants

Secure assistants grounded in your own documents, SharePoint and line-of-business data, so answers are relevant, current and traceable back to the source.

Workflow Automation

Document extraction, email and ticket triage, and first-draft reporting, with your people kept firmly in control of the decisions that matter.

Agentic Workflows

AI that completes multi-step tasks across your systems, wrapped in guardrails, approval gates and a full audit trail.

Evaluation & Guardrails

We measure accuracy before you depend on it, and put controls in place to stop sensitive data reaching the wrong model.

System Integration

We connect AI to the systems you already run, drawing on more than two decades of enterprise integration experience.

Secure AI Gateways

Central control over which tools and models your staff can use, and exactly what data each one is allowed to see.

FROM AI STRATEGY TO SECURE, ONGOING DELIVERY

Our AI Services

AI RISK & READINESS AUDIT

Know exactly where you stand

01

A fixed-scope engagement, typically two to three weeks. We review how your staff are already using AI, where your data is exposed, where AI can be safely applied, and what governance is missing. You receive a board-ready report and a clear, prioritised roadmap, delivered at standard industry rates.

PRIVATE AI FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Your data stays yours

02

We deploy private, secure AI assistants inside your own tenancy (Azure, Microsoft 365 or AWS), connected to your documents, SharePoint, file servers and line-of-business systems, fully logged, controlled and compliant.

AI WORKFLOW AUTOMATION

Eliminate manual, repetitive work

03

Instead of building apps from scratch, we replace slow manual workflows with AI-assisted pipelines, document extraction, email and ticket triage, report drafting and staff self-service, always keeping humans in control.

AI GOVERNANCE MANAGED SERVICE

Ongoing control and confidence

04

An ongoing managed service covering AI policy, approved tools, usage monitoring and logging, staff training and quarterly reviews, so your AI use stays safe as it grows.

AI SECURITY & DATA PROTECTION

Use AI without the risk

05

We put controls in place so sensitive data can't be pasted into public AI tools, monitor AI usage across the organisation, and implement secure AI gateways, where cybersecurity and AI meet.

SOVEREIGNTY, SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE BY DESIGN

Your Data Stays Yours

Your Data Stays Yours
The Right Model in the Right Place

Where your data sovereignty requirements allow it, we use the leading public AI models, such as Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, so you get genuinely state-of-the-art capability. Where sensitivity or regulation demands tighter control, we run models inside your own cloud through Azure AI Foundry or AWS Bedrock, so your data never leaves your tenant or your region.

Australian, End to End

Our team is based in Sydney and your data stays in Australia. No offshoring, no training of public models on your information, and no sensitive data quietly finding its way into consumer AI tools.
