What is OTIS Intelligence?

OTIS Intelligence is a technology cost intelligence platform. It analyses your technology estate, identifies waste, benchmarks vendor pricing against market rates, and produces actionable recommendations. The AI reasoning engine cross-references Xero, Azure AD, and Okta data to build a complete picture of your technology spend.

How quickly can I get started?

Most organisations complete activation and run their first analysis in under 10 minutes. You receive a token, activate your instance, connect your storage, and upload your first data file or connect an integration.

Do I need a sales call?

No. Every plan except Enterprise activates immediately online. Select a plan, complete activation with your token, and run analyses within minutes — no sales call required.

Can OTIS Intelligence read my data?

No. OTIS uses zero-knowledge architecture. Your data is encrypted with a 256-bit AES-GCM key generated in your browser. That key never leaves your device. We hold only encrypted ciphertext — mathematically unreadable without your key.

Where is my data stored?

In your own cloud storage — Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon S3, or a compatible self-hosted solution. OTIS Intelligence does not store your data on its own servers.

Does OTIS use my data to build benchmarks?

No. Your data is encrypted and unreadable by OTIS Intelligence. Our benchmark database is maintained independently from real market data. Your confidential contracts are never used.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Nothing. Your data is in your own storage with your own key. Cancelling your subscription has no effect on your data — it remains encrypted, accessible only to you.

What integrations does OTIS support?

Xero (bank transactions), Microsoft Azure AD (Microsoft 365 licence usage), Okta (application assignments and user activity), Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Amazon S3 / MinIO. All integrations are included on every plan.

How is OTIS priced?

Starter at £149/month (up to 50 employees), Growth at £399/month (up to 250 employees), Scale at £899/month (up to 1,000 employees), and Enterprise with custom pricing. All plans include a 14-day money-back guarantee.

How does OTIS compare to Zylo or Torii in price?

Enterprise SaaS management platforms like Zylo and Torii typically start at £30,000–£50,000 per year and require a full sales process. OTIS Starter is £1,788/year, activated immediately online — typically 70–80% less expensive.

Is OTIS GDPR compliant?

Yes. Because OTIS Intelligence never holds or processes personal data in an identifiable form — all data is encrypted with a key only you hold — GDPR obligations for data held by OTIS are minimal.

How does OTIS identify waste?

OTIS runs 20+ detection rules including: SaaS inactive licences, cloud underutilisation, telecom idle SIMs, contract auto-renewals, and duplicate tools. The AI reasoning engine interprets findings in the context of your industry and company size.
