Everyday productivity, powered by AI.
Organisations today are inundated with information and often struggle to access the right knowledge at the right time.
Sunshine.Productivity is a set of AI-based tools designed to address this challenge. Built for the enterprise, it helps teams work smarter across everyday and corporate functions, from HR and procurement to marketing and operations.
Unlike general-purpose AI models trained on the open internet, Sunshine.Productivity is designed with enterprise-grade safeguards, and it runs in a secure environment while being aligned to your organisation’s internal knowledge.
The result is a productivity layer that makes business expertise easier to access, reuse and scale, without compromising on trust.
With security and data sovereignty at the core, Sunshine.Productivity turns every user into a power user — helping teams onboard faster, respond more consistently and make smarter decisions in lesser time.
Built for scale. Governed for trust.
Hosted on a secure private Azure environment, our platform ensures that every interaction, whether a query, upload or prompt, remains within your control.
With Active Directory integration and encrypted credential handling, you can deliver the capabilities of generative AI without compromising data protection or system integrity.
Flexible options for every workflow
Designed for flexibility, Sunshine.Productivity can be deployed to solve for high-impact tasks across teams without requiring full system overhauls.
- Text summarisation: Quickly distil long reports or policies into actionable highlights.
- Secure file interaction: Upload documents without leaving the secure NCS environment.
- Smart prompts: Responses based on approved NCS practices and knowledge assets.
Whether you want to summarise reports, surface internal policies or onboard new hires faster, the platform adapts to your workflows. Start with standalone features or integrate with enterprise systems when you’re ready.
AI where it actually makes a difference
From faster answers to more consistent onboarding, Sunshine.Productivity brings real value to everyday work.
At NCS, we use Sunshine.Productivity ourselves — under the name NCSgpt — to streamline tasks, reduce friction and bring consistency to how teams work.
Challenge
NCSgpt is used by 13,000 staff in offices across multiple geographies for all sorts of tasks. As an advanced AI-driven assistant, it supports staff to identify, contextualise and leverage internal enterprise information, such as our own Integrated Delivery Methodologies (for our software delivery project teams), branding guidelines (for our marketing and communications team), procurement, and HR policies (for our contracting and People and Culture teams). The primary goal of NCSgpt is to enable more effective client engagements, solution planning, marketing efforts and strategic decision-making by surfacing relevant policies and guidelines, as well as high-impact examples of past successes across business and technical domains.
Solution
NCSgpt integrates curated information and documents from various internal SharePoint sites and public sources on the NCS website. The assistant matches and retrieves information to user queries based on industry, client type, solution area or business outcome. It highlights measurable results, technical feasibility and innovation outcomes to support decision-making across functions.
Implementation
The implementation of NCSgpt involves several key steps:
- Data integration: Aggregating enterprise information from multiple internal SharePoint sites and approved public sources.
- AI deployment: Deploying and tuning AI models capable of understanding and matching user queries to relevant enterprise information. Given the fast-moving AI landscape, the ability to evaluate and deploy newer and more efficient AI models is a main feature of NCSgpt.
- User interface: Designing an intuitive interface for stakeholders to interact with NCSgpt and access case studies.
- Testing and validation: Ensuring the accuracy and relevance of recommendations by the AI assistant through rigorous pre-deployment testing and post-deployment feedback from users.
Outcome
The deployment of NCSgpt has led to significant improvements in various areas:
- Delivery managers and developers: More interactive and intuitive access to thousands of pages of deployment instructions, best practices, guidelines and case studies of prior deployments, to better inform project scoping and delivery planning.
- Marketing and communications: Crafting stories with strong narrative potential and media value aligned to the NCS branding voice.
- Innovation and CTO office: Tracking case studies showcasing emerging technologies and cross-industry innovation.
NCSgpt is not only driving productivity improvements but also fostering a workplace cultural change. By integrating advanced technologies and innovative solutions, NCSgpt is uplifting our workforce’s AI literacy levels and empowering our people to collaborate with confidence and AI skills.
Rethink how work gets done - with intelligence built in
Every organisation has its own knowledge, processes and best practices. Sunshine.Productivity helps teams tap into that collective intelligence securely and efficiently.
If your teams are spending too much time searching, repeating or rechecking, it may be time to explore what AI can do when it is designed for your enterprise.
