In the organizer's words:

Artificial intelligence has arrived in SMEs, but there is often no clear entry point. Which use cases are really worthwhile? Where does measurable added value arise? And what does a realistic AI journey look like for companies that don't want to start from scratch but also don't have corporate structures?

One particularly relevant area of application is the handling of documents and tables. In many companies, knowledge, processes and decision-making bases are stored in PDFs, Word files or Excel spreadsheets - often unstructured and difficult to use. This is precisely where AI can provide support if it is used in a data protection-compliant, controllable and sensible way.

In this Hafen Leader session, you will get concrete answers from the field. Andreas Bachmann will show how companies can combine AI and the cloud to securely analyze, evaluate and process documents and tabular data without giving up sensitive information. The focus is on solutions that can be realistically implemented in SMEs and bring real benefits in everyday life.

What you can expect in the session

You will receive a compact overview of typical AI use cases in SMEs with a special focus on the processing of documents and tables. Among other things, you will learn how AI can summarize, structure or compare content and how recurring evaluations can be automated.

A central component of the session is the question of data protection and control. Andreas Bachmann will show how AI solutions can be set up in such a way that company data remains protected and compliance requirements are met. Real scenarios from customer projects will be used to illustrate what is technically possible and where clear boundaries should be drawn.

Afterwards, there will be room for questions and discussion.
