The same approach in every engagement, from the first conversation to proven benefit. ### Assess Where your organization actually stands #### Data Discovery You learn which data your organization truly holds and which of it can carry a decision. #### Enterprise Data Mapping For the first time you know in full which systems hold which truth and where they contradict each other. #### Business Process Discovery You see where your processes create friction and what that friction costs you. ### Architect The target state you measure against #### Business Architecture You get a picture of your company in which accountability, business function and information coincide. #### Target Architecture You set the direction once instead of renegotiating every single decision. #### Operating Model You know who decides, who is accountable and who delivers from here on. ### Activate Order that holds in daily operations #### Data Consolidation Your organization works from one basis instead of several versions of the same figure. #### Reconciliation Figures from different sources agree again, traceable back to their origin. #### Migration Readiness You start replacing a system only once there is evidence that it can succeed. ### Accelerate Speed with evidence #### Audit Readiness You withstand audits without putting your organization into a state of emergency. #### AI Readiness You know with evidence whether your data is fit for automated procedures before you invest. #### AI Governance You keep control over automated decisions and can explain every one of them. Every phase ends with a decision on your side. You commission the next one only once the previous one has delivered. ## Delivery Supervision in day-to-day operations We are not a software company. What we sell is judgment: a data strategy, an architecture that carries it, and the delivery supervision that puts both into daily operation. We build software rarely, and only where the market does not sell what an engagement actually needs. What came out of that does not live on this site. The SIMOSphere AI platform, the AI teammates and the academy have a house of their own at simosphereai.com. This site stays with the question that comes first. ### Protection of personal data We make your data analyzable without exposing personal information, along with the safeguards that hold up under audit. ### Cost control in operations We reduce the running costs of your automated procedures without lowering the quality of the results. Measured in live operation, not in a laboratory. ### Operation under your control Run language models in-house or in European infrastructure, with operations management, monitoring and the ability to produce evidence. ### Business Integration into existing systems We connect your systems through open protocols so that the business units stay in their familiar working environment: for Microsoft 365 in enterprise settings, for procurement and for collecting external market data. ### Enabling the organization Advice on use across the company: selection, company-wide adoption and enabling your teams, including the development organization. ## How we begin Two proven formats, without lengthy preliminary alignment. ### Experience Session 30 minutes on your specific question.

We place your data and decision landscape in context, quantify the friction and present a documented recommendation for action. - four hours on your real situation - quantified friction losses - documented recommendation ## Frequently asked questions ### Is SIMO an IT consultancy? No. The subject of our advice is the company, not the technology. We clarify decision paths, accountability, data sovereignty and the ability to produce evidence, and we then supervise the implementation until the benefit is proven. Data is the medium and the proof, not the purpose. ### Which size of company is the advisory work suited to? Complexity decides, not headcount. We work with organizations whose strategic objectives depend on fragmented, historically grown or heavily regulated data environments. That ranges from specialist mid-market companies to international enterprises and regulated institutions. The common denominator is not a missing team, but a situation where strategy, architecture and implementation have drifted apart. ### Does our data stay inside our sphere of control? Yes. Operations in your own data center, in European infrastructure or a combination of both, as you decide. Your data does not leave your sphere of control. That is a governance commitment, not a configuration detail. ### How long does it take before an engagement shows effect? An engagement begins with a 30-minute discovery call, followed by an assessment. As a rule, a target state is on the table after four to six weeks, tested against your actual situation. Delivery Supervision then follows in agreed steps. ### What does a strategy conversation with SIMO cost? The first strategy conversation is free and without obligation. In 30 minutes we place your situation in context and name concrete options for action. Not a sales pitch, a professional exchange.
