The reality in many administrations

High pressure. Scattered knowledge.
And limited resources.

·
Residents expect fast, clear answers ideally digital, available at any time and consistent.
·
Knowledge is scattered across documents, specialist applications, emails and the heads of individual people and is quickly lost when someone leaves or falls ill.
·
Staff are at capacity, skilled people are missing and tasks keep growing relief becomes a precondition for staying effective.
·
Data protection, IT security and traceability have to be taken seriously and this is exactly where carefully introduced AI can help.
What does on-premise AI mean for the public sector?

AI that can be run under control
not every request goes out to the open internet.

On-premise or otherwise controlled AI can be set up so that sensitive information does not flow into public AI services unchecked. Depending on your requirements, the solution can run on-premise, on a server, in a private environment or in a suitable data centre, based on data protection needs, technical infrastructure and the intended area of use.

Which model actually fits your authority is something we work out together with your IT team, your data protection officer and the relevant departments.

Internal
Run in your own data centre or administrative network.
Dedicated
A separate, isolated environment with a suitable provider.
Sovereign
Open-source models, documented architecture, clear ownership.
Administration-aware
Integrated into processes, roles and existing specialist systems.
Possible use cases in the public sector

Where AI can genuinely
relieve
administration.

Internal administration assistant

Knowledge that is needed every day.

Access to bylaws, work instructions, templates, internal rules and knowledge documents, presented clearly, with source references. Staff find answers instead of searching for them.

Preparing citizen communication

Answers that stay easy to understand.

Support with draft replies, text modules and explanations, the person stays responsible while the AI helps with clarity, tone and speed.

Making departmental knowledge accessible

From scattered knowledge to a clear answer.

Knowledge from documents, forms, procedures and processes becomes accessible through a controlled AI, per department, with clear permissions and traceable source references.

Summarising documents

Grasp complex material faster.

Submissions, minutes, concepts or statements can be summarised and structured in advance, as preparation, not as a replacement for the professional review.

Process support

Guide recurring workflows consistently.

AI walks staff through recurring administrative processes, points out the required documents and reduces time spent searching, with defined limits and clear handovers to people.

Training and orientation

Onboard new staff faster.

Trainees, career changers and new specialists get controlled access to internal content, as a starting point, a reference work and a learning aid.

Council and committee work

Structure resolutions and submissions better.

Submissions, resolutions, council papers and information can be stored in a more structured way and searched precisely through an AI, a relief for committee work and the leadership of the administration.

Digitalising existing workflows

AI as part of the picture, not an island.

AI is connected sensibly with existing software and digitalisation projects, as one building block in the overall picture, not as an additional stand-alone system.

Why not just any AI tool?

Administration needs more
than a chatbot.

·
Data protection concept. Which data may be processed, in which environment, with what retention?
·
Roles and permissions. Who is allowed to see which content? How is that ensured technically and organisationally?
·
Clear limits for use. Where may AI assist, and where not? When does a person have to decide?
·
Traceability. Answers with source references, instead of statements that are hard to verify.
·
The right data basis. Your own documents, rules and procedures, not just general internet knowledge.
·
Training and acceptance. Staff are involved, instead of being confronted with new tools.
·
Technical integration. Connection to existing specialist systems, document stores and directory services.
·
Operating concept. Who maintains the system? Who reviews content? How do you respond when something goes wrong?
Benefits for towns and councils

Impact where
administration feels it.

01
Relief for staff

Routine tasks, searches and text preparation are handled up front, so time for the actual professional work is preserved.

02
Faster access to knowledge

Information from documents and procedures becomes searchable through an AI, so staff find what they need.

03
Orientation within the rules

Bylaws, decrees and work instructions are made easier to find and more accessible to understand.

04
Support with text

Draft replies, explanations and templates can be prepared, while the person reviews, phrases and decides.

05
Better digital services

With a clear data basis, the service to the outside can be improved step by step too, clearer, more consistent and more predictable.

06
Controlled handling of data

Sensitive information is processed in a controlled environment, depending on the specific setup and the protection required.

Our approach for the public sector

In clear steps
from concept to delivery.

Step 01

First conversation

Goals · departments · framework conditions

Together we clarify which goals you are pursuing, which departments are affected and which organisational conditions are at play.

Step 02

Potential analysis

Which processes are really suited to AI?

Not every use case is worth it. We prioritise by value, effort and risk, and tell you honestly where AI offers no real benefit today.

Step 03

Data protection & operating model

Clarifying what is permissible and viable

Together with your data protection officer and IT, we clarify how data may be processed and which operating model fits your authority.

Step 04

Pilot project

A small, clearly scoped use case

We start with a manageable use case that delivers measurable value, before the solution is gradually expanded.

Step 05

Involving the staff

Training · acceptance · rules

Staff are taken along, with training, clear rules of use and points of contact in-house. AI only works with the people who use it.

Step 06

Technical delivery

Integration into existing systems

Connection to document stores, knowledge sources and the relevant specialist systems, with a documented architecture that your IT can support.

Step 07

Further development

Step-by-step expansion

Successful use cases are transferred to other departments, in a controlled, traceable way with clear responsibilities.

Administrative team in conversation
A note on responsibility

AI in administration must be
introduced responsibly.

That is why we look at more than the technology: data protection, acceptance, processes, roles and clear limits for use. AI does not replace staff, it relieves, orients and supports them.

Common questions from the public sector

How we think about AI
in administration.

Is AI even permissible in public administration?
Using AI in the public sector is possible, but it depends heavily on the use case, the data protection concept and the operating model. Together with your data protection officer and IT, we clarify which areas of use are viable and which conditions need to be met.
Does AI replace staff in administration?
No. Our approach is relief, not replacement. AI takes on preparation, research and structuring, while the professional decision stays with the person. Acceptance and clear limits for use are part of every project.
We have limited IT resources. Can it still work?
That is exactly why we deliberately choose small, clearly scoped pilot projects with measurable value. We build solutions that are sustainable, and document them so that your IT can take over or grow with them.
What happens to sensitive data?
Which data is processed in which environment is something we clarify per project. On-premise or dedicated operating models allow for tighter control. We avoid blanket statements, what matters is the specific setup, the protection required and how it is embedded organisationally.
How does this fit into tendering and procurement?
We support you with statements of work, piloting models and the preparation of formal tenders. In many cases, pilot projects and preparatory workshops can be covered cleanly within existing framework agreements or thresholds.
What happens after a first conversation?
After a no-obligation conversation, you receive an honest assessment, including the question of whether an AI project makes sense for your authority right now, or whether other digitalisation steps should take priority first.
Pricing & investment

Tailored.
And honestly calculated.

Every project is different, so we don't work with list prices. We make the numbers transparent before any investment — including a business case and a concrete ROI if you want one.

Software
from €5,000

Built around your business processes. From a small tool to a complete platform. What it costs and what it returns — we'll tell you after the first call.

Artificial Intelligence
from €10,000

RAG, chatbots, on-premise models, OCR, mail classification. We start where AI delivers measurable value — not where the hype is.

Hardware for on-premise AI
Snapshot

Server and GPU prices are highly volatile right now. We provide an up-to-date calculation before you approve any order.

Why we're more affordable

Lean structures. No sales machine that costs more than the development itself. No corporate overhead. Thanks to our lower cost structure, we're below market price for comparable work — provable in a side-by-side quote.

Business case & ROI

On request, we calculate a complete business case with a concrete ROI before the project starts. So you decide on impact, not on price.

Our promise

As soon as a problem is technically solvable, we're on it. There is no "can't be done" here without a reason — and usually with a pragmatic alternative.
