Context

What is AI transformation?

AI Transformation is the redesign of strategy, processes, organization, and IT so that people, systems, and AI can work together to achieve measurably better results.

The key question is not „Where can we use AI?“ but rather: How should work be organized in the future when people, systems, and AI work together?

Six services. One seamless journey.

AI Transformation is part of TCI Transformation Services. Six services guide you from the initial assessment to reliable operations, either individually or as a comprehensive program.

Example · From Sales Lead to Quote

Rethinking Work. Step by Step.

For each step, we determine whether a person, AI, agent, or system will carry it out. The example shows an illustrative target process.

01

Recognizing Opportunities

Research signals, understand accounts, and map relevant contacts.

02

Evaluate Relevance

Prioritize opportunities, evaluate assumptions, and determine the next step.

Not every process needs an agent.

Depending on the task, rule-based automation, an AI workflow, a copilot, or a knowledge system may be the best fit. We use agents when multi-step tasks offer real added value.

For which companies are TCI AI Services suitable?

We serve upper-mid-market companies, "hidden champions," and larger enterprises in the DACH region, particularly those with complex processes and system landscapes. The TCI network brings expertise from sectors including manufacturing, ICT, financial services, and life sciences.

How does TCI differ from large AI consulting firms?

TCI combines a network of over 200 senior partners, who bring industry and leadership experience, with a central AI Core for methodology, engineering, and quality. You’ll work with experienced points of contact rather than large teams of junior staff. Implementation is process-driven, not tool-driven.

How do we get started on an AI transformation project?

During our initial consultation, we’ll assess your current situation, your goals, and the specific actions needed. Based on this, we’ll develop a well-defined starting point—such as a status assessment, a value review, or the redesign of a selected process.

Does TCI also develop AI solutions and agents?

Yes. Technical implementation is part of the offering: from knowledge systems and AI workflows to integrated agent-based solutions. The appropriate solution depends on the process, the available data and systems, and your quality and control requirements.

Does every use case have to be solved with an AI agent?

No. Depending on the task, rule-based automation, an AI workflow, a copilot, or a knowledge system may be a better fit. We use agents in situations where multi-step tasks and defined scope for action provide meaningful added value.

How are the economic benefits assessed?

We define a baseline and appropriate metrics, such as processing time, costs, error rate, or utilization rate. We weigh the benefits achieved against the implementation and operating costs. Specific improvements depend on the process in question and how it is implemented.

How do you handle data, oversight, and accountability?

Data access, permissions, validations, and human approvals are taken into account in the solution design. We work with your relevant departments to clarify the requirements for data protection, security, governance, and operations.

Where does TCI operate?

TCI is headquartered in Mannheim and advises companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, including on international projects.
