# Pilot to Production

Someone on your team built an app with AI, and now you want the business to rely on it. We'll move it into production adding proper sign-in, hosting in Australia, security, backups, monitoring and more. Then assist with the rollout and hand it back with training so your team stays in charge.

## Is my AI-built app ready for business use?

Readiness depends on what the app does and the data it handles. Before staff rely on it, check sign-in and access permissions, hosting, security, backup recovery and monitoring. You also need a rollout plan and people who know how to run the app.

Austi AI works with Australian businesses and the apps their teams have already built. We add proper sign-in, hosting in Australia, security, backups and monitoring, then assist with rollout and handover training.

## Your team stays in charge

We assist with the rollout and hand the app back with training. Your team remains in charge of the app it built.
