AI consulting and strategy for businesses
For companies that want to use AI securely and responsibly: We advise you on the use of local language models and work with you to develop customized solutions that run in Germany or on your own infrastructure. This allows you to combine innovative strength with full control over your sensitive information.
- Consulting & Strategy
- Local LLMs
- Maximum data security
Use AI locally, and securely in your company
We develop tailor-made AI solutions for companies, especially in highly regulated industries or for highly sensitive data that should remain within the company. Our focus is on consulting, design, and training related to the use of proprietary, local large language models (LLMs). We combine technical excellence with practical implementation—from the initial requirements analysis to productive integration.
Why AI strategy consulting?
Our services include the analysis of the initial situation, the identification of suitable AI potential and the development of a customized AI roadmap - economically viable, data protection-compliant and technically feasible.
In particular, questions such as:
In which business areas does AI create demonstrable added value - and where not? What are the risks, particularly with regard to data sovereignty and data protection? Which AI technologies are suitable for our processes, existing infrastructure and business model?
For us, AI is not just hype, but a tool for creating real competitive advantages – securely, sustainably, and with full data sovereignty. We show our clients how to use AI effectively without becoming dependent.
AI potential analysis in a workshop

Step 2: AI Use case evaluation & refinement

Step 3: AI use case validation & roadmap
- You receive a structured summary, including identified AI use cases.
- Cost and resource estimation.
- Recommendations and roadmap for the next steps (typically a proof-of-concept or pilot project).
