Who stands behind our infrastructure?
Trusted partners. Solid foundations.
From the data center your legal team can audit to the open-source ecosystem your developers trust — our partners make the difference.

Our managed services run on LEW's certified green data center in Augsburg — 100% renewable energy, German jurisdiction, and infrastructure your legal team can audit.
aitiRaum
Augsburg's AI innovation hub and our home base — keeping us close to enterprise customers, applied AI research, and Bavarian engineering talent.
Open Teams
Our partner for open-source AI tooling — together we help organisations move from proprietary SaaS to open, self-hosted AI workflows without rebuilding from scratch.

We typically scope and kick off new projects within two weeks. Let's talk about yours.
What are our Services?
Four specialisms. One integrated AI stack.
From GDPR-compliant infrastructure to intelligent document processing — we cover the full stack so you have one partner, not four vendors.
Sovereign AI Infrastructure
Variable API costs are hard to budget and impossible to audit. We replace them with fixed, predictable AI infrastructure — hosted in our certified German data center or on your own hardware — fully GDPR-compliant and sized for your actual workload.
Learn moreDocument Intelligence
Enterprise document archives are complex by nature — technical reports, engineering drawings, scanned forms with handwritten notes. We extract text, tables, metadata, and images at scale, and turn them into structured data your AI can search, query, and reason over.

Enterprise Knowledge Search
Give your employees accurate answers from internal documents, not guesses. Hybrid search combines keyword matching with semantic similarity — so the right document surfaces whether users search with precise terms or plain language questions.

AI Workload Optimization
Existing AI infrastructure often runs at a fraction of its potential. Through model and inference optimisation, we typically achieve 2–5× more throughput and 75% less hardware — with no change to model quality. More capacity, lower cost, same results.

What results do we deliver?
What good AI engineering looks like.
Real projects, measurable outcomes — delivered on time and built to last.
