Enterprise AI Agent Deployment — From the Team That Built It
Other firms can deploy software. We build the software and deploy it. Big Hat Group created Big Hat Edition — the enterprise-hardened fork of OpenClaw — and we deploy both open-source OpenClaw and Big Hat Edition with the architecture, security, and governance that enterprise IT demands.

Big Hat Edition — The Hardened AI Agent for Enterprise
OpenClaw is powerful, but Big Hat Edition is purpose-built for professional environments. We’ve stripped away consumer-grade integrations to create a focused, secure AI productivity engine.
- No Consumer Data Leaks: WhatsApp and iMessage integrations are removed entirely — your enterprise data stays in enterprise channels
- Microsoft Teams & Exchange Integration: Fully integrated with Teams and Exchange Online (outbound-only configuration for maximum security posture)
- Data Sovereignty & Local AI Models: Route AI inference through Azure AI Foundry — your subscription, your region, your data residency. No tokens leave your Azure tenant
- Signed & Vetted Skill Library: Access a curated library of cryptographically signed skills — ensuring your AI agent only executes trusted, audited automation actions

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need consulting to deploy OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is powerful but designed for individual use. Enterprise deployment requires tenant isolation, identity integration, security hardening, Intune management, networking design, and custom skill development. We handle all of that.
What is the Big Hat Edition?
Big Hat Edition is our enterprise-hardened fork of OpenClaw. It removes 12+ consumer channels (WhatsApp, iMessage, etc.), adds Entra ID SSO, signed skill verification, INSERT-only audit trails, Azure AI Foundry routing, cost controls, and native Teams integration.
What does OpenClaw consulting cost?
Engagements start with the One-Week Jumpstart. Contact us for pricing based on your scope, number of agents, and whether you need open-source OpenClaw or Big Hat Edition.
Is OpenClaw secure enough for enterprise use?
Open-source OpenClaw is secure for personal use but lacks enterprise controls. For regulated environments, Big Hat Edition adds Entra ID SSO, signed skills, audit logging, cost controls, and consumer channel removal.
Can I run multiple AI agents?
Yes. Each agent runs on its own Windows 365 Cloud PC with independent identity, skills, and permissions. Agents can communicate via sub-agent sessions for coordinated workflows.
How long does an enterprise deployment take?
Our One-Week Jumpstart delivers a working AI agent pilot in five business days. Full enterprise rollout typically completes in 3–4 weeks including discovery, deployment, training, and handoff.
What ongoing support is available?
We offer managed hosting, skill development retainers, and quarterly architecture reviews. Big Hat Edition includes priority support and access to our signed skill library.
Do you offer training on OpenClaw and Windows 365?
Yes. Our Windows 365 training course covers Cloud PC deployment, Intune management, and the infrastructure that OpenClaw runs on. We also provide hands-on skill development workshops as part of consulting engagements.
