# About — Abatetech AI

Abatetech AI is the AI consulting and deployment practice of Abate Technology
Services LLC (https://abatetechnology.com), a managed IT firm serving
nonprofits and small businesses in Greater Hartford, Connecticut since 2003.

We split the AI work into its own practice because it's different work.
Managed IT keeps systems secure and running. AI enablement changes how people
work — strategy, policy, training, and automation that has to earn its place
in your budget.

The MSP connection matters: AI deployment lives or dies on tenant security,
data permissions, identity, and licensing. We've run those fundamentals for
human-services nonprofits — organizations with confidential client data and
funder compliance requirements — for twenty years.

Michael Abate runs the practice. He's certified on the platforms we deploy,
builds with these tools daily, and teaches AI and Microsoft 365
professionally. The person doing your assessment is the person who builds the
thing.
