For the demo or the offer:
- What is available in writing after the workshop or engagement, such as a usage policy or an assessed list of use cases?

About the publisher
About the publisher: what does T-NEX offer for strategy, platforms and security?
What T-NEX contributes to strategy, platforms and security ranges from a limited AI pilot through its own AI solutions to software developed to order.
- AI pilot: evaluates one limited AI use case with suitable data and criteria for expansion or stopping agreed in advance.
- Custom software development: settles responsibility for source code, access, configuration and operating documentation from the start; when T-NEX takes on agreed development tasks within your team, roles, repository access, review procedures and handover are aligned with your working methods beforehand.
- Workflow automation: T-NEX builds internal request workflows from existing components, with fixed rules for required fields and responsibilities.
- AI chatbot: access groups are defined before sources are connected, so that an internal assistant uses only information intended for the particular user.
- AI knowledge management: a fixed question set checks that different users receive only information intended for them and shows, after later changes, whether a new import degrades previously useful answers.
- AI reporting: during introduction, acceptance compares generated analyses with known results, including empty datasets and ambiguous questions, before a report is made available to further roles.
Questions on AI adoption and language models run by a provider
Where can you find support with introducing AI in OWL?
For AI strategy, adoption & governance the register names 63 providers, and 43 of them are located in OWL. Across this page, which also covers AI platforms, IT & security, the OWL entries gather in the Paderborn district (15), in Bielefeld (14), in the Gütersloh district (7) and in the Lippe district (7); outside OWL, Münster (6), Cologne (5) and Düsseldorf (5) lead the list. Offering forms on this page: consulting and adoption (63), AI products (21), custom AI software (5), process automation (3).
What needs settling when a language model runs at the provider or in the cloud?
Whoever runs the model and handles personal data for you in the process needs a contract with you under Article 28 GDPR; once data leaves the European Economic Area, Chapter V GDPR on third-country transfers comes on top. The guides Standard contractual clauses and DPAs and Transfer impact assessment show templates and steps. A locally run model, as some providers on this page describe, avoids the transfer; the other GDPR duties remain. Legal position as of October 2026.
Method and data
For each entry, the provider's sources were used to check whether an AI offering for customers is described, where the location is and what type it is, and whether the register text claims only what the source supports. Offering pages, legal notices, the commercial register and official location pages count as sources. Press reports, directories and other third-party pages are not treated as primary sources; where used, they appear on the row as a third-party source with their domain.
Report errors, outdated details or a missing company via our contact page for companies, ideally with the name of the entry and a link to the source. We check the report against the source, update the row and set a new review date; new entries receive a dated note. Anyone named in the register as a person, as a sole trader or in a description, can object to being named under Article 21 GDPR in the same way.
