Where are your people losing time today?
The first gains from AI rarely come from big transformations. They come from recurring work in the office and in operations: searching, retyping, summarising, checking and reporting.

AI solutions
Concrete information problems, solved with AI
Alongside the growth path we solve specific problems that involve large volumes of documents. You don’t need an AI strategy for that.
Data structuring and knowledge readiness
Years of documents and versions, scattered across folders. We turn them into one reliable source that Copilot and other AI can work with, without moving a single original.
More on data structuringDossier analysis
Too much to read by hand, too important to miss anything. We turn a file into a timeline, a core summary and points of attention, with a source reference for every conclusion.

Senior advice, delivered hands-on
We combine business experience with data and AI expertise. That means looking at where it makes economic sense first, and only then building.
Business value first
We start from your processes and bottlenecks, not from the technology.
Start small, measurably
Every step has a baseline and a concrete result. No report that ends up in a drawer.
Your data stays yours
We work inside your own environment, and where needed with local models.
Control that grows with you
Governance sized for your phase: light where possible, firm where needed.
Not sure where you stand?
Answer eight short questions and see straight away which phase your organisation is in and which step pays off most.
Frequently asked questions
What business owners often ask us
Is your question not listed? Feel free to ask it using the form.
We only have Microsoft 365 Business Basic. Is training still useful?
Yes. With Business Basic you have Copilot Chat, and the key skill, asking good questions and judging the outcome, is exactly the same as with a full licence. We also show which tasks would justify a more expensive licence, so you can invest in a targeted way.
Does the AI Act affect a small or mid-sized company?
For most SMEs the impact is manageable, but not zero. Know which AI you use, make sure employees can use it sensibly and watch out for high-risk applications, such as AI in recruitment. Our AI Act page sets out the current timeline.
Do we need an AI strategy first?
No. For most organisations it works the other way round: gain experience and discover where AI helps first, then build a roadmap. A strategy without hands-on experience often stays on paper.
Do you work in our own environment?
Yes, preferably. We build most applications inside your own Microsoft 365 environment, so your data stays there. In training sessions we use fictitious sample data.
What does it cost?
That depends on the phase and the scope. Our services and prices page lists indicative rates per service. After an introductory call you receive a tailored quote.
