In a world where AI is fast becoming a staple of our digital workplace, one thing remains a sticking point for many organizations – data privacy. While these benefits of AI-generated meeting summaries are clear – greater productivity, faster follow-ups, fewer missed action items – the idea of sensitive internal discussions being processed in the cloud is a step too far for regulated or risk-averse industries.
That’s precisely where the AudioCodes Meeting Insights On-Prem solution comes into the picture.
On the Radar: A Trusted Analyst Weighs In
A recent On the Radar report from leading research firm Omdia, authored by Brent Kelly, shines a spotlight on the unique advantages of the AudioCodes Meeting Insights On-Prem solution. In his words, “an on-premises meeting summarization tool is ideal for organizations prioritizing security and data privacy.” And in today’s climate, that’s completely understandable.
Kelly emphasizes that Meeting Insights On-Prem doesn’t just plug a gap – it addresses a growing market need. “Managing security, identity and privacy is one of the top trends among organizations globally,” he writes, noting that this solution is particularly attractive for the government, healthcare, finance and legal sectors, or really any enterprise with internal conversations too sensitive to risk sending outside the firewall.
What Is Meeting Insights On-Prem?
In short, Meeting Insights On-Prem is a powerful AI-driven meeting assistant that lives entirely within your own network. Just like its cloud-based sibling, it records, transcribes and summarizes meetings – whether on Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex, Meet or even traditional voice calls – but all of that happens on your servers, not on someone else’s.
The value proposition is simple. You get all the AI benefits without sending your sensitive data off-premises. It’s ideal for situations like board meetings, mergers and acquisitions discussions, product roadmap talks, financial planning sessions or classified government meetings – any scenario where data leakage just isn’t an option.
Designed for Control, Built for Compliance
Meeting Insights On-Prem doesn’t just stop at staying inside the firewall. It’s also built to operate in offline and air-gapped environments, providing full compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA and others. This makes it especially appealing to sectors where legal liability or regulatory exposure is a constant concern.
In Omdia’s view, the solution “provides reduced latency, requires no internet connectivity, allows greater customization and integration with internal systems, offers more access to raw data for analytics and has potential cost control benefits.” That’s a checklist worth ticking for any CIO.
Flexible, Scalable and Surprisingly Lightweight
Despite its cloud-free nature, Meeting Insights On-Prem is highly flexible and easy to deploy. It can run on basic enterprise-grade servers, handling around 30 concurrent sessions out of the box. If you need more power, just add memory and CPU – or deploy it in a containerized Kubernetes environment for horizontal scalability.
AudioCodes uses a Small Language Model (SLM) – a smart choice for enterprises that want fast, affordable AI without requiring massive infrastructure. Yes, it’s less complex than an LLM, but as Brent Kelly points out, AudioCodes customizes each SLM to suit the organization’s language, acronyms and common phrases. Plus, the platform keeps getting better as it learns from corrections over time.

Advanced Features That Make Meetings Smarter
Meeting Insights On-Prem isn’t just about security – it’s packed with features that boost meeting productivity across the board:
- Automatic speaker identification to track who said what
- Real-time transcription and summarization
- Semantic search for digging into past meetings with natural language queries
- Template-based documentation tailored to your business needs
- Ad-hoc dictation support for quick voice notes or impromptu transcripts
And it’s not limited to live meetings. Organizations can feed batches of past recordings into the system for retroactive transcription and summarization – ideal for contact centers or legacy compliance archives.
Final Thoughts: A Smart Move for Sensitive Data
In a market crowded with cloud-first AI solutions, AudioCodes Meeting Insights On-Prem offers something rare – total control. It’s a smart investment for enterprises that want to embrace generative AI without compromising on security, privacy or compliance.
As Omdia’s Brent Kelly concludes, “Meeting Insights On-Prem will be highly beneficial” for organizations where sensitive conversations require a little more caution – and a lot more control.
