The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a topic for the future—it is reality. Companies use AI to automate processes, make data-driven decisions, and develop new business models. But as great as the potential is, AI initiatives often fail in the early stages. The reason is rarely the technology itself—it is usually the system landscape on which it is based.

The Problem

Many companies start with ambitious pilot projects and invest in models and algorithms, but quickly reach their limits. Data is distributed in silos, interfaces are missing, or systems have grown historically and are not coordinated with each other. Added to this are different data formats, a lack of accountability, and outdated architectures.

The result: AI often remains piecemeal – instead of efficiency and insights, isolated solutions emerge that are neither scalable nor sustainable. For AI to be effective, it needs a stable foundation – and that starts with data.

The Solution

The successful introduction of artificial intelligence is based on three pillars: a clear analysis of the existing system landscape, the development of a future-proof data and interface architecture, and the sustainable anchoring of AI in the company.

Analysis of the existing system landscape

Before AI projects are implemented, it is crucial to understand the current infrastructure. Which systems are in use? Where are the relevant data sources? How are they connected to each other – and where are the gaps?

At new direction GmbH, we analyze the existing IT and data landscape, identify bottlenecks, and highlight the prerequisites that need to be in place for efficient AI integration.

Developing a future-proof architecture

Based on this analysis, we develop a target architecture that optimally coordinates data, interfaces, and processes. This includes selecting suitable platforms, cloud solutions, and tools, as well as defining uniform data models and API structures. We take both technological and organizational aspects into account—from roles such as data owners and data engineers to governance rules for data quality and security.

Sustainable implementation and empowerment

A good strategy only takes effect when it is consistently implemented. That is why we support companies in setting up data pipelines, integrating machine learning services into existing processes, and training employees. Our goal is for teams to be able to actively use the new possibilities – and for AI to become an integral part of their daily work.

Value enhancement

A clear data and interface strategy is key to unlocking the full potential of artificial intelligence. Companies that take a holistic approach to their system landscape lay the foundation for automated processes, reliable analyses, and data-driven decisions.
