OpenClaw Consulting for Enterprise AI Agent Deployment
OpenClaw is the leading open-source AI agent platform — browser automation, MCP tool integration, persistent memory, sub-agents, and a skill system that turns conversational AI into a real workforce multiplier. But deploying it in an enterprise environment requires more than npm install.
Big Hat Group is the only consulting firm that builds OpenClaw and deploys it professionally. We created the Big Hat Edition — the enterprise-hardened fork — and we deploy both open-source OpenClaw and Big Hat Edition on Windows 365 Cloud PCs with the architecture, security, and governance that enterprise IT demands.
Why OpenClaw on Windows 365?
Every AI agent needs a persistent, secure environment. A laptop that sleeps, a VM that gets reclaimed, a container that restarts — none of these work for an agent that needs to run 24/7, hold state, and interact with your Microsoft 365 stack.
Windows 365 Cloud PCs solve this.
Your AI agent runs on a dedicated Cloud PC that never sleeps. No idle timeouts. No session drops. Close your laptop — the agent keeps working.
The Cloud PC is a managed endpoint — compliance policies, security baselines, Conditional Access, and Windows Autopatch. Same governance as every other device in your fleet.
Run OpenClaw in a "Clean Room" — a separate Azure AD tenant with full identity isolation. Your production environment stays untouched during pilot and rollout.
Something breaks? Restore the Cloud PC to a known-good state instantly. Zero data loss. Zero downtime. Roll forward with confidence.
What OpenClaw Can Do for Your Organization
OpenClaw isn’t a chatbot. It’s an autonomous agent that uses tools, browses the web, writes and executes code, manages files, and integrates with your enterprise systems through MCP servers and custom skills.

OpenClaw Consulting FAQ
What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source autonomous AI agent platform that executes tasks, manages files, runs code, controls browsers, and integrates with enterprise tools through MCP servers — all from a persistent Windows desktop.
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.
Can OpenClaw integrate with our Microsoft 365 environment?
Yes. OpenClaw integrates with Teams, Exchange, SharePoint, and the full Microsoft 365 stack through MCP servers and Graph API. Big Hat Edition adds native Teams channel support and Entra ID authentication.
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.
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 OpenClaw skill development workshops as part of consulting engagements.
