AI IN THE IT ORGANISATION

AI consultants: From AI ambition to value in production

Most IT organisations have already started working with AI. The challenge is rarely the ideas – it is getting from pilot to production with data, security, governance and adoption under control.

Sourcing IT provides experienced AI specialists, advisors and AI leaders who help you implement and use AI responsibly and effectively – across infrastructure, applications, data and the business.

AI only creates value once it becomes part of the way the IT organisation works.

THE CHALLENGE

From pilot to production

Many organisations are stuck between a handful of promising AI pilots and a day-to-day reality where nothing really changes. The tools are available – but the skills, the data foundation and the governance are lagging behind.

AI places new demands on the IT organisation: on architecture and data, on information security and compliance, and on the way employees, processes and suppliers work together.

Where does AI create real value for us?
Are our data and platforms ready?
How do we ensure compliance with the EU AI Act, GDPR and NIS2?
Who will build, run and own the solutions?

We can staff the entire journey or just the parts where you lack capacity or experience – from an experienced AI lead who sets the direction to specialists who build and run the solutions.

Because we work with both freelance and permanent recruitment, we can help you build AI capabilities in-house while your projects keep delivering.

ENGAGEMENT MODELS

One AI ambition – several ways to staff it

Not every AI need should be solved the same way.
When you need specialist expertise or extra capacity for a defined period.
When the AI effort needs an experienced leader to set direction and organise the work.
When AI capabilities need to be anchored in the organisation for the long term.
When you want a clear picture of where you stand before you invest.
When an AI initiative needs to be delivered as a complete project with team and project management.
When you want to know which AI skills are available, what they cost and how quickly they can be sourced.
RESPONSIBLE AI

Security, data and compliance from day one

AI has to stand up to an audit. That is why we build security, personal data and regulation in from day one – not as an afterthought.

The EU AI Act is being phased in over the coming years and places requirements on both developers and users of AI. At the same time, AI solutions must fit into your existing work with GDPR, NIS2 and information security.

  • Classification of AI systems and risk assessment under the AI Act
  • Policies for the use of AI and generative tools across the organisation
  • Access control and data protection before Copilot and AI agents are rolled out
  • Documentation, logging and human oversight
  • Vendor and model selection with a focus on data residency and security
  • EU AI Act
  • GDPR
  • NIS2
  • ISO 27001
  • ISO/IEC 42001
  • Responsible AI
Experience from regulated industries

We provide consultants to pharma, finance, the public sector and the defence industry – environments where documentation, quality and security are non-negotiable.
