Is Frontrow's Adelaide AI advisory led locally, or handed to someone interstate?

Locally. Daniel Brown, Frontrow's AI lead and a 5× Microsoft MVP, is based in Adelaide and leads the city's Copilot & M365 user group. He leads Adelaide AI engagements directly rather than handing them to a remote team.

Can Frontrow work with defence or space-sector subcontractors given the sensitivity of the work?

Yes, within clear limits: engagements are scoped to a client's own unclassified program, compliance and engineering documentation, run inside the client's existing Microsoft 365 tenant and security controls. Anything touching classified or export-controlled material is a question for the client's own security and export-control team first — Frontrow doesn't offer to work around that boundary.

Does Frontrow only build Copilot-based tools, or does it use other AI models too?

The default stack is Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry, reflecting Frontrow's Microsoft Partner specialisation. Where a different model is genuinely the better fit for a specific workload, Frontrow will say so rather than force everything through one vendor.

What does an AI advisory engagement in Adelaide actually involve?

Three shapes, scoped separately: an honest AI readiness and strategy review; a Copilot rollout covering identity, SharePoint hygiene and Purview labelling before anyone gets a licence; and agent builds in Copilot Studio or Azure AI Foundry for specific workflows. We recommend starting with the first and only moving to a build once the readiness gaps are closed.

Do you work with SA Government agencies as well as private industry?

Yes, on the same basis as any Microsoft 365 tenant — readiness first, then rollout or agent build. Government engagements carry their own procurement and security processes on top, which Frontrow works within rather than around.

AI in Adelaide

Where AI projects start in Adelaide

Adelaide's AI demand clusters around two program-heavy sectors: the Osborne shipyard's AUKUS submarine construction program on the Lefevre Peninsula, and the space and advanced-manufacturing businesses clustered at Lot Fourteen alongside the Australian Space Agency's Adelaide headquarters. Both generate heavy volumes of technical, program and compliance documentation that a document-grounded Copilot or Copilot Studio agent can genuinely shorten. Adelaide University — the newly merged University of Adelaide and UniSA, which opened in January 2026 — and SA Government-adjacent teams round out the rest.

Defence & shipbuilding
Program and compliance document search for shipbuilding subcontractors
The Osborne submarine construction program generates a large volume of program management, quality and compliance paperwork across primes and subcontractors. A Copilot Studio agent grounded on a subcontractor's own document library — scoped to unclassified program and compliance material only — can cut the time spent hunting for the right version of a procedure or report. Any work touching classified or PROTECTED material goes through the client's own security process first, not around it.
Space industry
Engineering and test-report summarisation for small satellite businesses
The small satellite and space businesses clustered at Lot Fourteen produce dense engineering and test documentation on tight development cycles. An agent that summarises test reports and surfaces the relevant prior test or design note on request saves engineers the manual search through folders of PDFs — useful for a lean team without a dedicated technical writer.
University & research
Research administration support for Adelaide University staff
Grant applications, ethics paperwork and literature reviews are exactly the kind of repetitive, document-heavy work Copilot handles well once it's grounded in a researcher's own files. For a newly merged institution still consolidating two universities' worth of templates and processes, a Copilot rollout paired with some straightforward document hygiene is often more valuable than a bespoke agent build.

The engagements Frontrow actually runs.

AI strategy and roadmap

An honest read of where AI pays in the business, turned into a phased 12-month roadmap that front-loads quick wins, starting from the Microsoft 365 licences already owned.

AI Business Transformation Review

A readiness assessment, an expert manual review and a facilitated discovery workshop, ending in a current-state report, a ranked opportunity list and a 12-month roadmap you keep.

Copilot readiness, rollout and training

Identity, SharePoint hygiene and labelling sorted before anyone types a prompt, then hands-on training so the licences get used rather than parked.

Agent builds and AI governance

Copilot Studio agents grounded in your own data, and the policy, register and human-oversight controls that let a board sign off on them.
