The AI market in Italy grew by 50% in 2025 (AI Observatory, Politecnico di Milano). However, 76% of Italian SMEs have not yet invested in AI nor do they plan to do so (Digital Innovation in SMEs Observatory, PoliMi). Those who start now have an advantage. Those who get off to a bad start risk wasting time and money.
Starting August 2, 2026, the European AI Act will take full effect, imposing requirements regarding transparency, risk management, and system governance. Failing to take action today means accumulating technical and regulatory debt tomorrow.
Starting out without priorities, without governance, and without an implementation plan is the quickest way to turn AI into a cost rather than a benefit.
The AI Assessment is a structured, rapid process that evaluates your company’s business, technology, data, and governance. It helps you understand where AI can create value, which use cases are a priority, and how to move toward implementation in a controlled and measurable way.
At the end of the AI Assessment, you’ll receive practical information to help you make a decision—not a sales pitch:
The AI Assessment is designed for your company if:
We primarily work with Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences, Financial Services, Utilities, Local Government, and B2B Services. However, the AI Assessment method can be applied to any sector: what changes is the context, not the approach.
Abacus Group is an Italian ICT group formed through the merger of specialized companies. We bring together under one roof the expertise needed to take AI from evaluation to production:
Abacus doesn’t just tell you where to use AI. It helps you understand what’s feasible, with what data, on which systems, and through what operational process.

It’s a quick process—typically just a few weeks from the initial call, through data collection, workshops, and delivery of the results. The duration depends on the size and complexity of the company.
No. The assessment is useful both for those who haven’t started yet and for those who have taken tests that didn’t go into production.
Yes. In fact, this is one of the situations where it’s most useful: it helps you understand what you really need before investing in people and technology.
Both. We bring business, IT, and data teams together around the same table, because the value of AI stems from the intersection of processes, technology, and governance.
An opportunity map, prioritized use cases, an impact/effort matrix, a data and risk assessment, quick wins, and a 90-day roadmap.
A business representative (CEO, GM, or COO), an IT representative, and—if applicable—someone responsible for data or innovation. Just a few key people are enough.
Yes. We assess risks related to privacy, security, compliance, and ownership, including in light of the AI Act.
You’ll have a concrete plan. You can proceed on your own or with Abacus on a proof of concept or an operational project. There are no strings attached.
