Inno­va­tive AI services: How insiders are shaping the future for IT service providers

Insiders looks back on a history as an AI pioneer – founded in 1998 as a spin-off of the German Research Center for Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence (DFKI) in Kai­sers­lau­tern. With around 200 employees at locations in Kai­sers­lau­tern, Koblenz, Berlin, and Munich, we are now a reliable partner for around 6,000 customers, including well-known insurance companies, banks, local aut­ho­ri­ties, and indus­trial companies such as Allianz, BASF, and Edeka.

Under the lea­der­ship of our channel team, headed by Alexander Swienty since April 2023, our partner ecosystem is growing signi­fi­cantly. We currently work closely with around 50 partners – primarily from Germany, but also with a focus on Switz­er­land, Austria, and the rest of Europe. What sets us apart is our firmly estab­lished practical dialogue. We bring partners to the table in regular workshops on topics such as e‑invoicing, LLM use, low-code AI, or industry-specific use cases such as banking or insurance. Their specific input flows directly into our product deve­lo­p­ment. Tech­no­lo­gi­cally, we pave the way for market access: With OmnIA, we offer a powerful solution for process orchestra­tion, and with GenerAItor, we enable the low-code creation of indi­vi­dual AI services. Partners can integrate modern AI functions at the click of a mouse – including gene­ra­tive models – while largely avoiding inte­gra­tion efforts, data pro­tec­tion issues, or con­trac­tual obstacles. The impact speaks for itself: last year, our partners gained more than 1,000 new customers in the DACH region. Thanks to this momentum, we want to further streng­then both our industry diversity and the pro­por­tion of BPO partners—with the clear goal of doubling our partner base over the next three years. In difficult times, AI may seem like a buzzword. But our approach leverages real oppor­tu­ni­ties: we build bridges between tech­no­logy and the market, between partners and products, between potential and impact.
