An enterprise chatbot needs to fit your stack: who signs in, what they may see, and which systems the answers come from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how the three integration layers work, and what to check before you buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\">\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Layer 1: Identity \u2014 SSO and Role Mapping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enterprise access starts with your identity provider, not another password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In IntelloWork you add your IdP and map your directory&#8217;s group attribute to a role \u2014 and that mapping is enforced on every login. Joiners, movers, and leavers inherit the right chatbot access automatically because it follows the directory, not a manually maintained list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The part most vendors get wrong: identity must reach <em>retrieval<\/em>. Source-level groups travel into the index itself, so a user&#8217;s question can only ever be answered from documents their role may read. SSO at the front door with an open library behind it is theatre \u2014 more in <a href=\"\/blog\/private-chatgpt-for-enterprises\">private ChatGPT for enterprises<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Layer 2: Business Systems \u2014 SAP, Salesforce, and Friends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The answers your teams need are not all in documents. They are in the ERP, the CRM, the ticketing system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IntelloWork reaches these through its API connector: point it at a JSON API \u2014 an SAP endpoint, a Salesforce report, your order-management service \u2014 and the connector samples the schema, suggests which fields are content, title, and URL, and flags fields that look like access controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That turns system data into answerable, citable knowledge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>&#8220;What is the delivery status of order 4127?&#8221; \u2014 answered from the system of record<\/li>\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Which plan is this account on?&#8221; \u2014 answered from CRM data, permission-checked<\/li>\n\n\n<li>&#8220;What is our refund policy for enterprise plans?&#8221; \u2014 answered from docs, same pipeline<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Layer 3: Search Infrastructure You Already Run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you already maintain a Solr index, you have done the hard work. IntelloWork connects to existing Solr indexes directly \u2014 including your ACL fields \u2014 rather than forcing a rip-and-replace. Websites and file uploads round out the sources.
