Problem
Why most AI initiatives in SMEs fail before they start
The starting point is the same in nearly every SME. Leadership knows AI is relevant. The pressure comes from everywhere — industry publications, competitors, employees, customers. So a meeting is called. Someone demos ChatGPT. Everyone is impressed. And then — nothing happens.
Not because the will is missing. But because nobody in the organization can build the bridge between what AI can theoretically do and what the business concretely needs. The IT department — if there is one — has no AI expertise. Leadership doesn’t have time to work through model comparisons and architecture decisions. And the consultants offering their services either sell enterprise solutions too large and expensive for an SME, or they deliver PowerPoint strategies that end up in a drawer.
The second problem: many businesses start in the wrong place. They buy a tool — a chatbot, an automation platform, an API connection — without first clarifying which problem the tool should solve. Technology before strategy. The result is pilot projects that cost a lot, deliver little and reinforce skepticism about AI instead of reducing it.
AI implementation doesn’t fail because of technology. It fails because of missing consulting that starts with the business.
Solution
AI consulting that delivers use cases — not PowerPoint slides
At Emporiant, AI consulting doesn’t begin with a technology presentation. It begins with your business. Which processes repeat? Where is time lost? Which tasks cost money without creating value? Where are the bottlenecks that block growth?
From this analysis, concrete use cases emerge — prioritized by ROI, feasibility and implementation effort. No theoretical framework. No 80-page strategy presentation nobody reads. A clear decision basis: these are the three places in your business where AI has the biggest lever. This is what implementation costs. This is how long it takes. And this is the expected return.
The difference from traditional consulting firms: we don’t just consult — we also implement. With IRIDIUM™, we have our own framework for local, GDPR-compliant AI systems. That means our recommendations don’t have to stay theoretical. If you want to implement after consulting, we build the system. Same contact person, same architecture, no break between strategy and execution.
How it works
How our AI consulting works
01
Initial conversation and assessment
In a 60- to 90-minute conversation, we capture your business model, your processes and your current technology landscape. No questionnaires upfront. No generic assessments. We ask the questions that matter and listen. By the end, we have a clear picture of where your business stands and where AI can make a difference.
02
Process analysis and use case identification
We analyze your core processes for automation potential. Which tasks are repetitive? Which require text comprehension, classification or decision preparation? Where is data manually transferred between systems? The result is a prioritized list of use cases — ordered by time savings, implementation effort and economic impact.
03
Feasibility assessment and architecture recommendation
For the top use cases, we assess technical feasibility. Which models are suitable? What data is needed? What does integration with existing systems look like? What infrastructure is required — local hardware, European hosting, hybrid solution? You get a concrete architecture recommendation, not abstract technology comparisons.
04
Decision basis and roadmap
The consulting result is a document you can make decisions with. Use cases with ROI estimates. Architecture recommendation with cost framework. Implementation roadmap with timeline. And an honest assessment of where AI makes sense for your business — and where it doesn’t. If you want to implement with us afterward, we start seamlessly. If you go a different route, you have a foundation that stands on its own.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about AI consulting
What does AI consulting cost at Emporiant?
A complete consulting project — from initial analysis to finished decision document with use cases, architecture recommendation and roadmap — starts at €2,500. Scope depends on the size of your business and the number of processes to analyze. In the diagnostic call, we clarify scope and give you a binding cost estimate before you commit.
What size business is this for?
SMEs with 5 to 200 employees. Large enough that AI automation has a noticeable economic effect. Small enough that lean implementation without years-long project timelines is possible. If your business has recurring processes that cost time and money, the consulting is relevant — regardless of industry.
I don’t even know if AI makes sense for my business. Is consulting still worthwhile?
That’s exactly what it’s for. The consulting doesn’t start with the assumption that you need AI — it tests whether and where AI delivers a measurable advantage for your business. If the analysis shows that AI doesn’t offer a meaningful lever for your situation right now, we tell you. You get an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.
Do I have to implement with Emporiant after consulting?
No. The consulting result belongs to you — use cases, architecture recommendation, roadmap. You can implement internally, hire another provider or implement with us. Our consulting stands on its own. That we can also implement is an advantage, not a requirement.
How long does consulting take?
A focused consulting project for two to three use cases typically takes two to three weeks — from initial conversation to finished decision document. More comprehensive analyses with more processes and stakeholder interviews take four to six weeks. In both cases, you get a clear timeline at the start.
What makes Emporiant different from other AI consultants?
Three things. First: we don’t just consult — we can also implement. No handoff to another team, no break between strategy and execution. Second: we specialize in SMEs, not enterprise. Our recommendations fit your budget and your team size. Third: we recommend local, GDPR-compliant solutions with IRIDIUM™ — not US cloud services where the data protection question remains open.
