AI consultancy

Practical AI for everyday business

We use AI every day in our own work. Now we help other businesses work out where it is useful, set it up and put it to work, with people in control.

Our team includes people qualified in AI and computer engineering, and in video surveillance networks. Today's video networks do more than watch a site. They can flag events for a person to check, support safety and access control, count people or vehicles, and provide operational data. We have our own in-house designed brand and products for this work, built with technology partners from China, the UK and the EU.

Gulf · Working again

Working in the region again

Access Global began in the UAE in 1998, and the Gulf remains part of who we are. We are now working with new partners to establish the company and projects in the Middle East again. Security conditions there have made this harder, so we are taking it carefully and building on the relationships and record we already have.
