The Four Phases of AI Adoption with Hainzelman
1. Orientation & Potential Analysis – “Making AI tangible”
The first step is about clarity: Which processes can be automated and deliver measurable value?
Hainzelman supports you with workshops, potential checks, and ready-to-use apps such as the Knowledge Explorer or the Research Agent Team. Quick wins become visible right from the start – always GDPR-, ISO 27001- and EU AI Act-compliant.
Example (Data Security & Compliance): A financial services provider struggling with regulatory audits starts by using Hainzelman’s Knowledge Explorer to make compliance documents and past audit reports instantly searchable. This reduces manual review times from days to hours while ensuring sensitive data never leaves the company’s IT environment.ving multi-million-dollar gains while the majority are still stuck in pilot mode.
2. Piloting & Fast Start – “In days, not months”
Instead of long projects, Hainzelman delivers results from day one.
With industry-specific templates, secure data connectors, and the modular Hainzelman Platform, companies can quickly roll out their first AI workflows.
Example (Maritime Industry): A shipping company pilots Hainzelman to handle fleet certification management. What previously required weeks of manual checks and updates is now handled by AI agents that monitor rule changes (e.g., SOLAS, MARPOL), prepare inspection reports, and alert staff to compliance risks – ensuring ships are always inspection-ready
3. Integration & Scaling – “AI becomes part of your DNA”
Once the first use cases are running successfully, AI grows across the organization.
Hainzelman enables custom agent development, a powerful workflow engine, and seamless system integration (ERP, CRM, DMS).
Example (Investment Firms): A VC firm integrates Hainzelman into its deal flow process. Incoming pitch decks are automatically screened, structured, and scored. During due diligence, KI agents review large data rooms, analyze financials, and summarize risks. This accelerates investment decisions and frees analysts to focus on strategic evaluations.
4. Optimization & Sustainability – “Unlocking more value from AI”
The focus now shifts to long-term impact:
Through monitoring, fine-tuning, and knowledge preservation (e.g. with the Expert Companion), processes continuously improve. Companies expand their AI portfolio step by step – without vendor lock-in, thanks to the open HainzelStack framework.
Example (Cross-Industry): A manufacturing company uses the Expert Companion to capture critical know-how from retiring IT specialists. The system conducts structured AI-driven interviews, transcribes insights, and builds an interactive knowledge base accessible to new staff – preventing knowledge loss and ensuring business continuity.
