In 2026, companies in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria seeking to modernize their internal communication and optimize productivity face the decision of implementing a corporate intranet with an employee directory and artificial intelligence assistant. This technological combination not only centralizes personnel information but also enables semantic searches, automation of repetitive tasks, and connection with existing business systems. However, the cost of this type of project can vary significantly depending on the scope, integrations, and security requirements.
The first factor influencing the investment is the number of modules and workflows to be covered. A basic intranet with a directory and AI-based chat can start from 5,000 euros, while more complex solutions that include AI for businesses with private language models, advanced search over internal documents, and connection to ERP or CRM can exceed 60,000 euros. The key is to carry out a discovery phase that maps current processes, performance indicators, and technical dependencies, something Q2BSTUDIO does in one or two weeks before proposing a detailed plan.
Another critical determinant is the level of integration with legacy or cloud systems. Many organizations already use SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, SAP, Odoo, or Salesforce, and the intranet must extend without replacing these tools. Q2BSTUDIO applies modern integration patterns, such as custom APIs and secure connectors, so the AI assistant can access data in a controlled manner. Additionally, if the company operates in hybrid environments or with sensitive data, it is necessary to implement VPN tunneling, private endpoints in Azure, and role-based access controls. These cybersecurity requirements increase the budget but ensure compliance with GDPR and internal policies.
The deployment model also impacts the final cost. Options range from public cloud (AWS or Azure) to private or hybrid infrastructure. Q2BSTUDIO recommends AWS and Azure cloud services for most cases, as they offer scalability, reduced maintenance, and the ability to use Azure AI Foundry to implement language models with cost control. When the company requires full data sovereignty, on-premise deployments with continuous monitoring are chosen, which increases the initial investment but reduces recurring expenses in the long term.
An aspect that is often underestimated is the need to train the team to operate the AI autonomously. Q2BSTUDIO delivers customized web portals where business users can configure prompts, monitor usage, and adjust parameters without relying on engineers. This allows the intranet to evolve with the company and for the return on investment to be achieved within 6 to 12 months. In fact, industry studies indicate that companies integrating AI into core workflows achieve operational cost reductions between 15% and 35%, and reduce repetitive manual work by up to 60%.
Beyond the numbers, the decision must consider strategic value: an intranet with a directory and intelligent assistant improves the employee experience, accelerates new employee onboarding, and provides unified visibility through dashboards and Power BI. Q2BSTUDIO, as a technical partner in Las Palmas, offers a free 30-minute discovery session where it analyzes objectives, budget, and key dates before presenting a written proposal with KPIs, amortization periods, and risk registers. This allows executives, managers, and IT managers to compare costs and benefits objectively.
In summary, the cost of an intranet with an employee directory and AI assistant in 2026 depends on the complexity of workflows, integrations with current systems, cybersecurity requirements, and the deployment model. Q2BSTUDIO combines custom software development, enterprise artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity services to offer solutions tailored to each organization, ensuring a measurable return on investment and autonomous AI management by the client.
