Overview & decision tree (which scenario?)
AdminCompanyWizard can be run anywhere from a single workstation to a centrally hosted team instance. This article helps you pick the right installation scenario; the scenarios themselves are linked.
The guiding questions
Section titled “The guiding questions”- One workstation or a team? A single user → single workstation. Several users → multi-user.
- Do you need semantic search / PII detection locally? If yes, Qdrant and Presidio (Docker) come into play.
- Run it yourself or have it run for you? Your own infrastructure → self-hosted. evanto handles operations → Managed operation (Site only).
