Findstr brings AI tools, models, users, knowledge, and costs together in a single private and segmented environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-list wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One point of entry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear governance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canadian infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-heading wrapper wrapper--xs\" data-title=\"ai-is-already-inside-your-organization\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI is already inside your organization<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>Artificial intelligence does not always enter an organization through an official project. It often begins directly within teams, through personal accounts, individual subscriptions, and tools that fall outside the organization\u2019s usual governance framework.According to the <strong>2024 Work Trend Index from Microsoft and LinkedIn<\/strong>, published on May 8, 2024, and based on a survey of 31,000 employees and leaders across 31 countries, <strong>78% of AI users were bringing their own artificial intelligence tools to work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>Teams move quickly. But without a shared framework, the organization can lose visibility into which tools are being used, which data is being shared, which knowledge is being created, and which costs are accumulating. The risk extends beyond a growing number of subscriptions.According to IBM\u2019s <strong>Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025<\/strong>, published on July 30, 2025, <strong>20% of the organizations surveyed reported experiencing a data breach related to the use of unauthorized or insufficiently supervised AI tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>In other words, at one in five organizations surveyed, the ungoverned use of artificial intelligence contributed to data exposure.IBM also reported that only <strong>37% of surveyed organizations had mechanisms in place to manage or detect these uses<\/strong>. In Canada, IBM estimated that a significant presence of ungoverned AI tools added an average of <strong>C$308,000 to the cost of an affected data breach in 2025<\/strong>. This amount represents the additional cost associated with limited visibility and control over AI use.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>According to Cisco\u2019s <strong>2024 Data Privacy Benchmark Study<\/strong>, published on January 25, 2024, <strong>48% of respondents acknowledged entering non-public company information into generative AI tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>AI is already being used.The real question is whether it is structured.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-heading wrapper wrapper--xs\" data-title=\"one-point-of-entry-for-artificial-intelligence\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One point of entry for artificial intelligence<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.findstr.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Findstr<\/a> becomes the organization\u2019s official AI portal.

Instead, the platform makes it possible to connect, organize, and govern different artificial intelligence models through a stable interface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Models evolve. Your governance remains.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-heading wrapper wrapper--xs\" data-title=\"turn-individual-use-into-collective-intelligence\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Turn individual use into collective intelligence<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>When employees use their own separate tools, the knowledge they create remains scattered across personal accounts and isolated conversations. The organization pays for AI use without necessarily retaining the value it produces. Findstr transforms these individual uses into a collective asset.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>Knowledge can be structured, shared, and reused across the organization. Insights no longer disappear into separate accounts. They gradually contribute to a lasting organizational memory.Teams can move faster while respecting the roles, permissions, and policies defined by the organization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Your intelligence should not remain locked inside personal accounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-heading wrapper wrapper--xs\" data-title=\"clear-governance-of-ai-costs\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Clear governance of AI costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>Artificial intelligence costs can quickly become difficult to track when each team uses its own subscriptions, providers, and models. Findstr centralizes consumption and provides better visibility into how AI is actually being used.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>Organizations can:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-list wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>track token and model-related costs;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>assign consumption budgets;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>compare costs across use cases;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>reduce the number of individual subscriptions;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>select the appropriate model for each need;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>forecast artificial intelligence budgets more effectively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-paragraph wrapper wrapper--xs\">\n<p>The most powerful model is not always the most relevant one.
