AI
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence and, in particular, the rise of Generative AI, offers a huge number of new opportunities for companies that were not possible before.
This includes, for example, making unstructured data (data that is not structured in a database, CRM or ERP system) visible, but is hidden in Word or Excel files, Powerpoints, PDF documents or emails and chat messages. Thanks to Generative AI, it is now possible to interpret and unlock that data as well.
Some possible use cases for companies:
- Generating quotes based on previously drawn up quotes
- Summarizing and analyzing specifications and determining whether there is a business match
- Another way to approach software: for example, creating dashboards based on chat prompts: “give me a margin comparison for our top 10 customers between Q1 last year and this year”.
- Your own company GPT to make company policies accessible to staff (e.g. “what should I do if I have an accident with my company car?”)
- Personalized emails to customers (based on CRM data about the customer)
This technology is still in its early stages and is seen as the biggest technical revolution since the advent of the Internet and mobile phones. While 2023 was still the year of experimenting and building proof of concepts, in 2024 we will mainly see an adoption of this technology (pushed by launching new opportunities within existing business software). We are already experiencing a lot of traction and companies that have the mindset to get hands-on with these new opportunities, looking for competitive advantage.

Why CTO-as-a-Service at Unikoo?
How we help you grow
We want to make the digitization process and introduction of new technology manageable. The implementation of a CTO's range of tasks depends heavily on the business context and intended (growth) strategy. We use it as a denominator to determine the tech strategy and operations, and ideally also consider the broader digital strategy. We make a distinction between a first strategic part and a subsequent operational part.
Technology strategy and vision
Developing a long-term technology strategy that aligns with business goals. This includes identifying new technologies and trends that can help the organization grow or become more efficient.
Budget and cost optimization
Managing the ICT budget and looking for ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality or performance. Advice on patents, tax optimizations and subsidies.
Talent management and team building
Building and leading an effective IT team. This includes hiring new talent, developing skills within the team, and fostering a learning culture.
Stakeholder management and communication
Act as the bridge between technology and other departments, providing clear communication and understanding of technological issues. Explaining and defending decisions and their implications to investors and boards.
Digital transformation
Identifying, defining and leading digital transformation initiatives beyond the boundaries of the pure technical side. An integrated, end-to-end transformation of existing business processes and value propositions where digital technologies move from the sidelines to the center of the organization.
Technical architecture
Creating and evaluating future-proof, scalable and efficient application, data and infrastructure architectures and associated tech stacks, with attention to third-party integrations
Vendor and Partner Management
Managing relationships with ICT suppliers and partners, negotiating contracts and providing the best service and products for the organization
ICT best practices
Setting up development processes (such as CI/CD, validation and test flows,...), introducing appropriate development tools
Proof of concepts

What we do for you

With Unikoo, we strive for long-term collaboration by continuously focusing on added value creation and honest collaborations. We always start our collaboration with a landscape assessment in which we map business processes, data flows and actors of organizations. This way, we get a good overall picture and complexity of the environment in order to make the best recommendations.
Based on these insights, milestones are defined according to strategic priority and (budget) capacity so that a long-term digital vision and compatible, modular architecture can be established. We remain true to our pragmatic approach (no needlessly long preliminary study) but we do not take a hasty approach, as we so often see with companies that have grown organically - because in the long run, this usually leads to a more expensive and more inhibitory approach. We continue to focus on the low hanging fruits without losing sight of the bigger picture
