01
System audit: mapping your current tech stack, APIs, authentication methods, and data flows to understand what is possible and where constraints exist before any build begins
05.5 — Automation
AI Integration & Deployment
We connect OpenAI, Anthropic, and Perplexity APIs to your existing business systems — CRM, ERP, website, internal tools, communication platforms. No rebuilds. No parallel systems. AI embedded where your team already works.
How we work
Integration is where most AI projects fail. The technology works in isolation but breaks in the real environment — legacy APIs, authentication constraints, data format mismatches, and infrastructure limitations. We have built integrations for the full range of business systems used by European SMEs and we know where the failure points are before we start.
02
Architecture design: designing the integration layer — how AI models connect to your systems, what data flows where, and how to maintain reliability, security, and GDPR compliance
03
Staging build and testing: full implementation in a staging environment with comprehensive testing against real data formats, edge cases, and failure scenarios
04
Production deployment: controlled rollout to production with monitoring, rollback procedures, and zero-downtime deployment where required
05
Handover and documentation: complete technical documentation, runbooks, and knowledge transfer so your team understands what was built and can operate it
06
Ongoing monitoring and support: post-deployment monitoring, performance optimisation, and response to issues — with defined SLAs for business-critical integrations
The AI integration market grew 180% in 2024
The AI integration services market grew 180% in 2024, driven by businesses that had purchased AI tools but could not connect them to their existing systems. The bottleneck is not AI capability — it is integration expertise. Companies that successfully integrated AI into their core systems in 2024 saw an average 34% increase in AI ROI compared to those running AI in isolated tools.
What we hear before projects start
“We had a freelancer build an integration six months ago. It works, but nobody on our team understands it and we're afraid to touch it.”
“We tried to connect OpenAI to our CRM ourselves. We gave up after three weeks. The authentication alone took two weeks.”
“Our IT team is already stretched. They don't have the capacity to evaluate or build AI integrations on top of everything else.”
“We can't afford our CRM to go down. Any integration with it needs to be rock-solid and reversible.”
“We've had two quotes for this project. One was six months and EUR 80,000. The other was three weeks and delivered nothing.”
“Our AI pilot worked perfectly in isolation. When we tried to connect it to our real data, it fell apart.”
