Modern AI Tools for Everyday Business
AI is no longer a research project – it’s built into the tools you already use. AI assistants and copilots draft documents, summarise meetings and answer questions; intelligent automation handles repetitive admin; and AI-powered analytics turn your data into clear, actionable insight.
The businesses pulling ahead aren’t the ones with the biggest budgets – they’re the ones adopting the right AI tools early, and using them safely. That’s where EBS comes in.
















Why Your Business Should Embrace AI
Used well, AI gives smaller teams the output of much larger ones. It removes the drudgery that slows people down, surfaces answers buried in your data, and helps everyone make better decisions faster – without hiring for every new skill.
As your experienced technology partner, EBS helps you cut through the noise, pick the tools that actually fit your business, and roll them out with the security and governance to match.

USN are a global brand with the European head office based in Birmingham, EBS are therefore ideally situated to support our national team. USN fully embrace a work from home policy which allows us to get the best people despite their location. Knowing EBS can bring on new starters, providing them with equipment, access to Office 365 & SharePoint (amongst other software) is paramount to the running of our business.Read more... -

Having worked with EBS for many years for our Sage 200 implementation and ongoing support, we have now migrated our Managed Services and IT Support to them. We are really pleased with the service we receive from them. The Team are always helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. The most recent project was moving to EBS Cloud, the transition was smooth and has been fundamental to our flexible working and ongoing business plans.Read more... -

Although our procedures are relatively complex, EBS Consultants took the time to understand our business processes and full requirements. They had a good grasp on the “step by step” list of tasks in each scenario that needed to be carried out and at each stage; in preparation for Go live. Their knowledge and experience of industry standards and the software’s capabilities left us with confidence they could deliver a product and problem solve any minor issues as they arose. adapting to changes in our decisions throughout the test phase. The hand holding throughout; and the training for our staff was excellent, the procedures set out are now easily accomplished by all from shop floor up-to management level I would have no hesitation in recommending EBS Consultants for a stress-free install; we are now looking forward to a smooth transition on to our live data very shortly. Well done guys and thank youRead more... -

EBS were flexible to allow us to meet all our deadlines. When there were challenges getting lines into the new building because of pandemic delays with Open Reach EBS put in a 4G temporary solution to allow the training and installation of Sage 200 to take place. The project was very well run by the whole EBS team. EBS spotted the challenges around Sage 50 and could see how its limitations might hinder our companies growth plans. We were happy with Sage so they recommended Sage 200 with Manufacturing to ensure we had the tools and systems in place for our future.Read more... -

The HaTS department have been excellent since my time at Agriline Products Ltd. We are a fast moving company who literally cannot afford for our systems to be down for 10 minutes. If they were, then orders would stop coming in via phone and website, and our warehouse would lose time to get orders out the door. When you can be dispatching up to 500 orders per day, then every minute counts. The Hardware department have ensured we can maintain our critical same day despatch policy, all thanks to the Pro-Active support package.Read more... -

Since our first dealings with EBS we have always received outstanding support with hardware and software which other companies fail to provide. EBS is a go to company for any business that wants to invest in growing their own business rather than worrying about their I.T. infrastructure. Dealing with EBS ensures there is a no blame game between software or hardware companies as they deal with it all from the moment you pick the phone up to them, there are not many companies out there today that provide this service. When we originally went with EBS it was with this in mind and the service received has been impeccable. They are a very versatile and dynamic business and not just there to sell but to advise on streamlining our processes and offer the best solutions to an ever-changing company. This is a company that employs knowledge and with this they give excellent advice on all the products and services they provide. This is why after 26 years we still remain a loyal customer as they have proved to be a loyal supplier. EBS to NERO is a “One stop I.T. company”Read more... -

EBS have been great in developing our system, and making us feel much more secure in terms of our IT landscape, from many system efficiencies they have helped us implement to hardware improvements which have sped up our systems allowing our staff to use their time more wisely. The regular catch ups we have really make us feel like we are a valued customer and that we are in safe hands as there has always been progress.

AI for Business:
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about adopting AI in your business.
Is AI actually useful for a business like mine?
Almost certainly, yes. Even small teams benefit from AI assistants that cut writing and admin time, and from automating repetitive tasks. The key is starting with a genuine problem rather than the technology – which is exactly how EBS approaches it.
What's the difference between AI and Microsoft Copilot?
“AI” is the broad category of tools; Microsoft Copilot is one specific, business-ready AI assistant built into Microsoft 365. For many businesses Copilot is the easiest, safest first step into AI.
Is it safe to use AI with our business data?
It can be, with the right setup. Risks around data, privacy and accuracy are real, so EBS helps you choose tools with proper data protections, set clear usage policies, and align everything with your cyber security and compliance obligations.
How do we get started without wasting money?
Start small and targeted. We run a short review to identify where AI can deliver genuine value, pilot one or two tools with a select focus group, measure the impact, and then roll out the proven solutions more widely across the business. This ensures that your investment follows your outcomes rather than hype.
