How WITO supports SMEs with AI integration

Whether a single department or the entire enterprise architecture — WITO delivers at every level of the iceberg.

Level 2–4
Vertical Integration
Embed AI deep in your department

Vertical AI integration means: one department — maximum impact. WITO implements AI solutions deeply embedded in HR, Finance, Legal, Sales, or Operations. Workflows are automated end-to-end, data from core systems (ERP, CRM, DMS) used directly.

  • Automation of specialist processes (e.g. invoice review, CV screening)
  • ERP/CRM integration & AI-powered data analysis
  • Custom models for domain know-how
  • Fast time-to-value through focused rollout
Level 3–5
Horizontal Integration
Build a company-wide AI platform

Horizontal AI integration connects all departments under a unified AI infrastructure. WITO designs and implements central embedding platforms, company-wide knowledge bases (RAG) and multi-agent systems that scale across departments.

  • Central LLM infrastructure (on-premise or private cloud)
  • Company-wide knowledge base with RAG architecture
  • Multi-agent systems for cross-department workflows
  • Unified AI governance & GDPR framework
