Private AI for public sector enterprises. Board papers, tenders and plant data stay on your network.
Short answer. Central public sector enterprises hold records that their own rules require them to keep confidential. Explicitly cover 'public sector enterprises' under ministries' purview. Third-party access to information must be restricted and shared only after a non-disclosure agreement. Pasting board papers and tender documents into a public cloud chatbot hands them to a third party. ANVE is a private AI appliance on the office network, so work such as summarise bid documents and compare vendor offers and draft board agenda notes from internal reports happens without the records leaving the building, for named users with an audit trail. There are 291 operating central public sector enterprises out of 475 in total (Public Enterprises Survey 2024-25, via SCOPE).
