Getting started

How you get started with SmartSpace

Three commercial components: the platform licence, the customer success plan you want around it, and how you deliver use cases. Configure all three below and see an indicative annual budget — then weigh it against the return.

Step 1

Install into your Azure tenancy

SmartSpace is a managed app from the Azure Marketplace. Your managed service provider usually handles the install — or SmartSpace can do it for you once you grant the right permissions.

Step 2

Select your licence

One licence covers the platform for the organisational scope you're enabling. Unlimited connectors, dataflows, dataspaces, workspaces and use cases inside that scope.

Step 3

Choose how you build

Build in-house, commission use case by use case, or run an Accelerate programme with dedicated engineering capacity.

Step 4

Land, then expand

Prove one use case, then keep adding. Every new workflow rides the same licence, so ROI compounds while the licence stays flat.

Build your budget

Indicative pricing only — adjust anything to match the conversation you're having.

2 · Customer success plan

3 · How you build use cases

How the licence works

  • Azure infrastructure and LLM/model consumption sit outside the licence — billed in your own tenancy.
  • No per-user login fee within the agreed covered population.
  • No per-workspace or per-flow fee once you're beyond Starter.
  • The commercial unit is the organisational scope you're enabling, not raw usage.
  • Grow adoption inside your licensed scope — you're never penalised for building more workflows.

Licence, success plan and delivery figures on this page are indicative and confirmed at scoping. Azure compute and model tokens are always billed in your own tenancy.
