Perplexity
Answers you can cite, not links to sift.
Perplexity is the research layer: current, sourced answers instead of a page of links. We design and build Perplexity into research workflows and products where cited, up to date information matters.

Max and Enterprise Max
The plan tiers that bring Computer and Comet Assistant, plus the controls a business needs.
Why CG TECH
Why CG TECH for your research layer.
We do not stop at seats. We design, build and run Perplexity into real workflows, then train your people so the investment lands.
Research that holds up
Every answer carries its sources, so your team can verify before they rely on it.
Governance first
Enterprise controls, SSO and data handling set up properly from day one.
Build and run, not just advise
From team rollouts to Sonar powered products, we build it in your environment and run it with you.
Adoption that sticks
Training and change support are part of every engagement, because a platform nobody uses is a cost, not an asset.
Where Perplexity fits.
Current information with citations: market and competitor research, due diligence, procurement and any workflow where the answer must be sourced and fresh.
Where it does not.
Long document drafting, coding and deep Microsoft 365 integration are better served by Claude or Copilot. You get one honest recommendation, not a default.
What good looks like
Real projects, real outcomes.
Ports Operator: AI Scheduling Agent
Microsoft Copilot
Staff extracted shipment scheduling data from email attachments and websites manually, so reporting ran late and sources never quite lined up.
We built an AI agent that reads the attachments and websites itself, files the data and flags changes to stakeholders.
Outcomes
- Schedules gathered automatically
- One source of truth
- Changes flagged as they happen
Regional Council
Power Platform
Power Platform and Microsoft 365 had grown across seven environments with little governance.
We reviewed the whole setup and supported the changes to tighten security and control.
Outcomes
- Governance across 7 environments
- 1,400 monthly runs under control
- 200+ app launches a month
State Education Department
Identity + Automation
Assigning Microsoft licences at this state education department was a slow, manual job that struggled to keep up with growing staff numbers.
We automated licence assignment from HR data using Azure AD groups and PowerShell, starting with a proof of concept.
Outcomes
- Licences assigned automatically
- Lower admin overhead and cost
- Auditable, compliant process
Outside School Hours Care Provider: Voice AI Agent
Copilot Studio
Directors spent much of each day answering policy calls from centre managers, covering everything from incident reporting to child safety rules. Answers varied between people, and many frontline staff speak English as a second language.
We built a voice-enabled AI agent, grounded only in the client’s policies, that answers first so Directors do not have to.
Outcomes
- Directors freed from routine calls
- Consistent answers every time
- Inclusive for bilingual staff
Aged Care Provider
Copilot Studio
Staff used an AI agent to find policies and forms, but answers were slow and inconsistent.
We rebuilt it in Copilot Studio with stronger grounding, clearer prompts and multilingual support.
Outcomes
- Faster, more consistent answers
- Grounded in approved content
- Multilingual access for staff
Community Transport Provider
Copilot Studio
The client matched volunteers to clients by hand, which was slow to scale.
We built a proof of concept agent in Copilot Studio that suggests ranked matches with clear reasons.
Outcomes
- Faster, fairer matching
- A clear reason for each match
- Built to scale safely
Ports Operator
Microsoft Copilot
They wanted to roll out Microsoft Copilot safely across the business.
We ran a readiness assessment and a pilot across legal, HR and IT, with governance, security and training built in.
Outcomes
- Copilot scaled with confidence
- Use cases proven across teams
- Governance and training in place
City Council
Nintex + SharePoint
The property acquisition process was slow and complex, with delays and inaccuracies at each hand-off.
We mapped the process end to end, then automated it with Promapp, Nintex and SharePoint Online.
Outcomes
- Acquisitions move faster
- Fewer errors
- Progress visible in real time
Early Learning Peak Body
Power Pages
A new funding model required two-way data exchanges between every kindergarten, the governing body and Queensland Treasury, and there was no portal to handle it.
We built a portal in Power Pages as the one-stop shop for submissions, documents and live funding data.
Outcomes
- One portal for 38 kindergartens
- Funding visible in real time
- Secure, accurate exchanges
Insurance Provider
SharePoint + Power Platform
An unsupported SharePoint 2010 setup was a security risk and held back HR and Payroll.
We moved this insurance provider to SharePoint Online and rebuilt the key forms and approvals in Power Platform.
Outcomes
- Payback in six months, not two years
- Sensitive HR data better protected
- One setup for staff worldwide
Outside School Hours Care Provider
Power Automate
A government wage rise meant issuing more than 2,500 staff contracts at once, and the manual process was too slow.
We automated the run with Power Automate, a Power App form and DocuSign.
Outcomes
- 2,500+ contracts issued
- Signed copies filed to SharePoint
- Fewer manual steps and errors
Industry Ombudsman
Records365 + SharePoint
The client had no electronic records system, and the existing document platform could not co-author, control versions or search well across 93,000 documents.
We implemented Records365 over SharePoint Online and built a modern intranet alongside it.
Outcomes
- 93,000 documents under control
- Co-authoring at last
- A modern intranet
Chemical Manufacturer
Microsoft 365
Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online had been enabled but the team was not using them, and there was no governance around either.
We reviewed the setup, designed a best practice approach and set a phased roadmap for adoption.
Outcomes
- 500+ orphan documents found
- Idle Teams cleaned up
- A clear path to adoption
Retirement Living Operator
Microsoft Fabric
Their reporting was manual and split across separate apps, each with its own licence.
We built one Microsoft Fabric platform, modelled the data and set up Power BI, with training to extend it.
Outcomes
- One platform, many sources
- Clean, reliable data
- Team trained to build on it
Questions we hear a lot
Common questions about Perplexity
What is Perplexity?
Perplexity is a research tool that answers a question with current information and shows the sources it used. Instead of a page of links to sift through, you get an answer you can check. We design and build it into research workflows and products where cited, up to date information matters.
How is Perplexity different from ChatGPT or Copilot?
Perplexity is search first. It reads the live web and answers with citations, where general assistants lean on training data and your documents. Different tool, different job.
Is our data used for training?
On Enterprise plans and the Sonar API your data is never used for training. Consumer plans offer an opt out. We set this up correctly during rollout.
What is the Sonar API good for?
Putting cited, current web answers inside your own products and internal tools: research assistants, market monitors and knowledge bases that never go stale.
Do we need Enterprise Pro, or are individual Pro seats enough?
Once you need SSO, admin controls or shared Spaces under governance, Enterprise Pro is the answer. Below that threshold, Pro seats often do the job. We confirm during discovery.
Which Perplexity product should we look at first?
Most teams start with Pro seats for the people who research every day, then add Enterprise Pro when it needs governing across the business. Spaces suit a shared research area, Comet suits browser heavy work, and the Sonar API is for putting cited answers inside your own software.
What size organisation do you work with?
Our sweet spot is 50 to 500 seats. That is big enough for research quality and licence spend to matter, and small enough that a rollout can be done properly in weeks rather than quarters.
What does a rollout involve?
We start by finding the roles where research is a daily task, then set the licence mix, sign on and admin controls to match. After that it is short, practical training using real questions from your own work, and a check back once people have used it for a few weeks.
