We start with your business - understanding your processes, pain points and goals - then map out exactly where AI can deliver the greatest return on investment, and connect it to the systems you already use.
Every business can benefit from AI - but most don't know where to start. Our consultants assess where AI can make a real difference in your operations, then design a roadmap that prioritises quick wins alongside longer-term transformation. No hype, no wasted budget - just technology that delivers results you can measure, supporting businesses across the West Midlands and UK-wide.
We're already trusted by 500+ UK businesses and backed by 25+ years of IT delivery.
Book a Free ConsultationAI only delivers its full value when it's wired into the systems you already run. We connect AI capabilities to your existing business software - CRM, ERP, accounting and line-of-business tools - creating intelligent workflows that span your entire technology stack, rather than another disconnected app your team has to remember to open.
Enrich records, summarise conversations and surface the next best action inside the CRM your sales team already uses.
Automate data flowing between systems and add AI-driven checks so your operational data stays clean and consistent.
Reduce manual data entry and reconciliation with intelligent workflows connected to your accounting software.
"I think I need AI in my business, but I don't know where to start." Sound familiar? Hand it to one of our engineers - they'll understand your needs, build the integration or AI workflow around them, and keep it running. No fixed scope, no fixed fee, no lock-in.
We learn how your business works and where AI could help.
Our engineer builds the integration around your needs.
We upgrade, patch and fix it for as long as it's needed.
While you want to continue, we repeat steps 1 to 3.
You're buying our engineer's time and expertise, not a fixed-product deliverable - so there's no warranty or guaranteed timeframe. Instead you get full transparency: a progress review after every full working day (7.5 hours), so you always know exactly where things stand.

It depends on scope. A one-off AI readiness assessment costs less than an end-to-end automation project with custom integrations. We start every engagement with a free consultation to understand your goals, then give you a clear, fixed-scope quote before any work begins - no open-ended day rates.
It's simple, honest pricing with no fixed scope, no fixed fee and no lock-in: hire our engineer by the hour, by the 7.5-hour day or for a full Monday-to-Friday week, and we'll quote before any work starts. You own whatever's built, and get a progress update after every full working day.
Demand for the service is high, so start dates vary. Smaller pieces of work can often be picked up quickly, while larger projects may need to be booked in further ahead. Get in touch and we'll give you a realistic start date and reserve your engineer's time.
Wherever possible, we aim to keep the same engineer with you from start to finish for continuity. On longer engagements we do document the work as we go, so another Alcom IT engineer can pick it up smoothly if needed.
Costs scale with size. A small integration can run from just a few pounds a month, while larger systems cost more. We're here to help you choose a cost-effective option, and where you host your app or integration - your own Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud account, or a provider of your choice - is always your decision.
Either - whatever suits the job and your budget. A small integration might be finished in a day; a larger build may run across several sessions over weeks or months. You decide the pace and can pause or stop at any point.
We invoice for the time worked, typically monthly in arrears, so you only ever pay for hours actually spent. We'll confirm the exact billing arrangement with you before any work begins.
