This week at the KI Caf\u00e9, a statement was made that has stuck with many.<\/p>\n

Manuel Pfiffner from sl.one showed a statistic: 70% of employees use AI today.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"A customer told me: nobody uses it for me\"<\/b>said Manuel.<\/p>\n

His answer to the customer was direct: \"Don't believe that. Please don't believe that.\"<\/b><\/p>\n

And then the crucial point:<\/p>\n

What happens if an employee enters company data with their private ChatGPT account?<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfac Video: Manuel Pfiffner dispels cloud myths<\/h3>\n
\n

The problem: three myths that slow down SMEs<\/h3>\n

I have been observing the same pattern for months.<\/p>\n

Managing directors want to use AI. They have heard of Copilot, of ChatGPT, of all the possibilities.<\/p>\n

But then come the concerns:<\/p>\n

\"Cloud is insecure.\"<\/p>\n

\"Everyone has access.\"<\/p>\n

\"That's far too expensive.\"<\/p>\n

Manuel dispelled these three myths at the AI Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

\n

Myth 1: Cloud is insecure.<\/h3>\n

The reality: Microsoft employs over 3,000 people just for security. Security updates are rolled out immediately.<\/p>\n

Manuel told us about a customer who sent him a vulnerability report.<\/p>\n

His answer: \"You're in the cloud, you've had the update for a long time.\"<\/p>\n

\n

Myth 2: Authorities have access.<\/h3>\n

Microsoft has contractually confirmed: No third party access without informing the customer first.<\/p>\n

\n

Myth 3: Cloud is more expensive than on-premise.<\/h3>\n

This is where it gets interesting.<\/p>\n

Manuel showed the real comparison: With on-premise, most people forget the hidden costs.<\/p>\n

Electricity. Air conditioning. Room rental. Maintenance. Hardware replacement.<\/p>\n

An example from his practice:<\/p>\n

A customer had made his last server update 273 days ago.<\/p>\n

\"That's quite sporting,\" said Manuel dryly.<\/p>\n

He found \"Call of Duty\" installed on another customer's company notebook because his daughter supposedly needed it for school.<\/p>\n

This is the reality of uncontrolled devices.<\/p>\n

\n

The framework: 3 steps to an AI-ready infrastructure<\/h3>\n

Zeno John then showed the second part: what Microsoft Copilot can actually do - and where the limits lie.<\/p>\n

\n

Step 1: Understand the difference between private and business co-pilot.<\/h3>\n

This confuses many people.<\/p>\n

There is the Copilot, which sits in the Windows icon. And there is the M365 Business Copilot.<\/p>\n

The Business Copilot costs extra (currently around CHF 30\/month), but offers crucial data protection.<\/p>\n

Why the price difference?<\/p>\n

The complexity of security in companies is massively higher than in the private sector.<\/p>\n

\n

Step 2: Pay attention to the authorizations.<\/h3>\n

We have carried out an interesting test.<\/p>\n

I asked Copilot for the payslip of a fictitious employee - once by e-mail, once on the SharePoint.<\/p>\n

The answer: No information. Even with all the authorizations as managing director.<\/p>\n

This shows that The safety rules in the company also apply to AI.<\/p>\n

If the authorizations are set correctly, Copilot respects them.<\/p>\n

\n

Step 3: Combine the best of both worlds.<\/h3>\n

sl.one recommends a hybrid approach:<\/p>\n

Standard services such as e-mail and Office via Microsoft 365.<\/p>\n

Sensitive specialist applications in the private cloud.<\/p>\n

The advantage: a direct connection from the office to the data center. No firewall required. The same speed as a local server.<\/p>\n

\n

The practice check: What came up in the discussion<\/h3>\n

The most exciting discussion came at the end.<\/p>\n

One participant asked about the dependence on US tech.<\/p>\n

Manuel confirmed: \"It is technically possible to work without American products.<\/p>\n

\"But the problem is, you couldn't work together anymore.\"<\/p>\n

If your compliance system blocks third-party software and you want to send someone a Teams invitation - then you have a problem.<\/p>\n

\n

Another point that came up: the energy consumption of AI.<\/p>\n

Zeno called it \"a huge thing that has not yet been published like this.\"<\/p>\n

The server farms not only need electricity, but also water for cooling.<\/p>\n

In the USA, nuclear power plants are being built to operate the data centers.<\/p>\n

These are the realities that often get lost in the AI euphoria.<\/p>\n

\n

Take part in the MMIND.ai voting<\/h3>\n

The co-pilot with the most votes will be built in January - and exclusively presented here in the Flow Factor.<\/p>\n
