Who it’s for
Organisations with data-sovereignty, security, or compliance constraints that rule out default cloud AI offerings: public administrations, regulated industries, and any company whose management asks “where does our data actually go?”. Typical trigger: an AI project is approved but legal or security blocks the obvious SaaS route, or on-premise hardware is being considered without sizing experience.
The problem
“Every AI vendor tells us their hosting is the right one. We need an independent answer: which deployment scenario fits our constraints, which models can run there, what hardware it takes, and what it costs over three years — before we sign anything.”
What we deliver
- A deployment-scenario comparison for your case — Swiss sovereign cloud, on-premise, hybrid — with advantages, risks, and cost projections for each.
- Model strategy: which open or proprietary models fit each task and sensitivity level, and how to keep them swappable (multi-model routing, abstraction layer).
- Hardware and sizing: GPU server specification, capacity planning, scalability path, amortisation analysis.
- Security and compliance by design: identity integration (SSO/MFA), encryption, audit logging, data-protection alignment (LPD/nLPD, GDPR).
- A reversibility plan: open standards and export formats so no decision locks you in.
How it works
- Constraints workshop: sensitivity levels, compliance, budget, timeline.
- Scenario design and cost modelling (initial + run + variable inference costs).
- Model evaluation against your actual use cases.
- Recommendation with a decision-ready comparison.
- Optional: we implement the chosen scenario with our infrastructure partners, or support your team doing it.
Engagement
Scoped case by case: our clients range from local SMEs to Fortune 500 groups, and the same service scales accordingly. We quote after a first scoping conversation — a fixed price list would not be honest at that range. Where risk is high, we start with a bounded pilot.
Partnering with Digilac
- We operate this ourselves: our own AI products run on Swiss infrastructure, and we work hands-on with Swiss hosting providers — we know their strengths, limits, and contractual terms from experience.
- Independent by structure: we sell no hosting and no model, so the recommendation has no hidden agenda.
- We have designed to the strictest constraint there is — “no data leaves the internal network” — for a federal client.
