AI Consulting

With our team of more than 130 in-house developers, business analysts and IT architects, we offer end-to-end AI business solutions. We offer individual, customised AI projects from a single source – from consulting and conception to optimisation. Rely on the artificial intelligence expertise of soxes to drive innovation and efficiency in your company.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to fundamentally change the way businesses operate and remain competitive. However, to get the maximum value from AI, it is critical to choose the right AI strategy, technology and implementation method. This is where our AI strategy consulting services come in. They include consulting, evaluation, data analytics implementation, deployment and optimisation of AI applications. We provide the expertise and support necessary to successfully implement and scale AI solutions.

End-to-end AI simplifies workflows in medium-sized companies by using a single AI system to automate the entire process, such as handling customer enquiries – from initial contact to finding a solution. This increases efficiency and reduces errors, but places demands on the accuracy and explainability of AI decisions.

The integration of AI-supported process optimisation into day-to-day business enables companies not only to save time and resources, but also to act in a more customer-oriented manner.

By using AI tools for pattern recognition and data analysis, companies can carry out more precise customer segmentation and market analyses. This leads to customised strategies and products that fit seamlessly into the needs and wishes of the target group.

Our artificial intelligence consultancy involves working with AI experts to support SMEs in the development and implementation of AI strategies and solutions. This includes evaluating business processes, identifying areas where AI can be used to real advantage, selecting the right technologies and algorithms, and implementing and scaling AI solutions.

Why are AI consulting services important?
Professional, external support for AI projects can provide companies with crucial assistance:

• Identify potential use cases for artificial intelligence
• Evaluate and select the right technology and platform for their specific needs
• Successfully implement and scale AI solutions
• Manage risks associated with artificial intelligence, such as privacy, security and ethical issues
• Access to data science and targeted data analyses
• Train employees in the new technologies and promote cultural change

AI is currently a hype at times. AI can bring clear benefits. However, it is crucial to differentiate between hype and the real benefits of AI. Too often in the past, projects were only implemented for the sake of hype (keyword: blockchain). As a result, huge budgets have missed the mark – if even an AI strategy with ‘marks’ existed in the first place.

Artificial intelligence consulting can be divided into different areas, each of which has different focal points and objectives. Some of the most important aspects are

AI strategy and roadmap development

Our consultants, data science specialists and developers work closely with companies to develop a customised AI strategy and roadmap that meets their specific requirements and goals. This includes identifying AI use cases, prioritising initiatives and defining milestones and success criteria.

Technology selection and implementation

Our AI experts support organisations in selecting the right AI technologies and platforms that best meet their requirements and objectives. This can include evaluating AI frameworks, cloud platforms and hardware options. We also help with the implementation of AI solutions and integration into existing business processes and systems.

Data management and data analysis

A critical aspect of AI consulting is helping companies manage and analyse data. Our data science and AI experts help companies to effectively collect, organise and analyse their data and information to gain valuable insights that can be used to develop and implement AI solutions.

AI training, development and integration

Our AI and data science experts offer training and development programmes to improve the skills of employees in the field of artificial intelligence. This can include technical training for developers and data scientists as well as training to promote understanding and adoption of AI across the organisation.

AI governance and risk management

Another important aspect of our consultancy is helping organisations to develop and implement AI governance and risk management strategies. This includes identifying potential risks associated with AI, such as privacy, security and ethical issues, and developing policies and processes to manage these risks.

Artificial intelligence in use by our customers

With the Assessment Gate application, soxes has implemented AI-based personnel selection software for precise suitability forecasts with individual candidate assessments. The tool has been “trained” with relevant data on positions in companies and their requirements so that it can make recommendations on the suitability of potential candidates. Assessment Gate can therefore be used to support the recruitment process for new employees.

In a project for Emmi, AI was used to assess product labels. soxes was commissioned by the Emmi Group to develop a prototype for error detection in the production process of its yoghurt range based on artificial intelligence. The developed prototype is positioned at the end of the production chain and is used for quality assurance. Find the complete project description including a preview of the application here!

Professional support for AI projects offers SMEs a range of benefits that go beyond the mere implementation of AI solutions. These include

Acceleration of the innovation process

By working with our data experts, companies can accelerate the innovation process by gaining valuable insights from their data and developing and implementing AI solutions faster and more effectively.

Improving operational efficiency & automation

Our AI consulting services help companies improve their operational efficiency by automating and optimising processes, increasing productivity and supporting decision-making.

Increase competitiveness

Companies using our AI consulting services can increase their competitiveness by developing and implementing innovative AI solutions that help them enter new markets, better fulfil customer needs and differentiate themselves from their competitors.

Promoting cultural change and employee engagement

Our AI services support companies in promoting a cultural shift towards a data-driven, innovation-oriented organisation. Through training and development programmes, employees can be empowered and motivated to use AI technologies and continuously drive innovation.

Choosing the right AI consulting partner is crucial to the success of your AI initiatives. We have summarised the key factors below:

Experience and expertise

Choose an AI consulting partner with proven experience and expertise in the development and integration of AI solutions. This should include technical expertise in AI technologies and platforms as well as industry knowledge and understanding of your organisation’s specific challenges and opportunities.

Methodology and approach

A good AI consultant should take a structured and pragmatic approach to AI consulting based on the specific needs and goals of your organisation. This should include developing a customised AI strategy and roadmap, selecting the right technologies and platforms, implementing and scaling AI solutions, and helping to manage data, risk and governance.

Collaboration and communication

The ideal AI consulting partner should work closely with your organisation and encourage open and transparent communication. This helps to ensure that your AI initiatives are tailored to your specific requirements and objectives and that potential challenges and risks are identified and addressed early on.

Local presence and global reach

An AI consultant with a local presence and global reach can help you develop the best AI solutions for your organisation by tapping into a broad network of resources, experts and best practices. This is especially important for companies operating in multiple markets or looking to expand internationally.
