Today: shadow AI in your company. Tomorrow: AI under your control.

Today

Employees use ChatGPT uncontrolled — company knowledge flows to OpenAI without audit or GDPR compliance.

With SIMOSphere AI

Dedicated AI workspaces per team — everyone can use AI while the company retains data and control.

Today

Excel sprawl and tool chaos — every department has its shadow IT, nobody knows the truth.

With SIMOSphere AI

One truth, one platform — data, knowledge, and processes managed centrally.

Today

Knowledge leaves with employees — years of experience trapped in mailboxes and minds rather than in the company.

With SIMOSphere AI

Knowledge stays in the company — every action logged, every answer traceable.

Today

GDPR and EU AI Act unresolved — the next audit will be expensive or uncomfortable.

With SIMOSphere AI

GDPR and EU AI Act compliant from day one — on-premise or private cloud, auditable, with your own models.
