Following a surge in demand from local business leaders, Jera IT has announced it is extending its offer of free AI Readiness Assessments for small and medium-sized enterprises across the North-east.
The assessment, typically valued at £1,500, is designed to help firms move past the "AI hype" and identify specific areas where automation can reclaim lost time. The extension of this offer ensures that more Aberdeen-based businesses can access a professional roadmap for integrating AI into their daily operations without the upfront consultancy cost.
"The feedback from the initial rollout has been clear: business owners are tired of hearing about what AI might do in the future and want to know what it can do for their team now," says Ally, AI & Automation Lead at Jera IT. "We’re seeing local firms in sectors like engineering and accountancy losing up to 10 hours per employee every week to manual data entry and document retrieval. This assessment is about finding those hours and winning them back."
By continuing to waive the £1,500 fee, Jera IT aims to support the local economy by providing high-level technical insights to businesses that may not have an in-house data or automation team.
The Practical Focus of the Assessment:
- Operational Audit: Identifying "hidden" manual bottlenecks in finance, HR, and project management.
- Custom Use Case Mapping: Demonstrating how "Knowledge Agents" can search internal technical specs or contracts in seconds.
- ROI Roadmap: Providing a clear, jargon-free plan to implement automation that pays for itself in time saved.
"This isn't about replacing people; it's about removing the 'grunt work' that stops teams from doing the jobs they were actually hired for," Ally adds. "We’ve seen businesses save over 600 hours a quarter just by fixing one or two messy internal processes. We want to show more local firms how to achieve that."
