# Blog: AI in architecture and operations

- [Connecting CRM and ERP to a language model in four layers](https://simosphereai.com/en/blog/crm-und-erp-anbinden.md): Why point-to-point integration collapses at the third data source, how an MCP service mediates instead, and the setup times we measured in completed projects.
- [AI literacy under Article 4: why a memo is not enough](https://simosphereai.com/en/blog/ki-kompetenz-artikel-4.md): Article 4 of the EU AI Act requires measures on AI literacy and was rewritten in July 2026. Which level fits which role, and what holds up as evidence.
- [Building your own MCP server that survives production](https://simosphereai.com/en/blog/mcp-server-selbst-bauen.md): When a custom MCP service is worth it, what the protocol looks like on the wire, how to describe a tool, and five rules that decide a connector’s quality.
- [Sovereign AI is not a seal: Four questions decide it](https://simosphereai.com/en/blog/souveraene-ki-ist-eine-architekturentscheidung.md): Where computation happens, who holds the keys, who can be legally compelled, and whether you can get back out: four questions on sovereign AI and what it costs.
- [We are not a software vendor: when custom software pays off](https://simosphereai.com/en/blog/wann-eigene-software-sich-wirklich-lohnt.md): Four tests decide whether building your own software makes sense. In most cases at least one of them fails, and that is a good outcome.
- [Midsize companies: orchestrate AI instead of stacking tools](https://simosphereai.com/en/blog/ki-orchestrierung-mittelstand.md): Everyone who experimented with AI in 2025 is now sitting on half a dozen disconnected tools. What orchestration means, which three patterns cover most of the work, and where adoption really breaks down.
- [The digital twin in construction: from building to company](https://simosphereai.com/en/blog/digitaler-zwilling-bauwesen.md): Construction made the digital twin what it is, first as a BIM model, then as a live picture of operations. What carries over to a whole company, and where orchestration actually begins.
