01Why SMAPAS
Three questions shape every project we take on: Is it secure? Will it deliver real results? And will it still hold up a year from now?
SMAPAS was built around those three commitments. They guide every architecture decision, every integration, every line of prompt, and they are the reason mid-sized teams across DACH and Australia trust us with production AI.
02Our approach
Three commitments. No exceptions.
02 / Outcomes
Measurable.
No project without a business case. No go-live without measurable impact. We define ROI before build and track outcomes after launch.

Two founders. One growing network.
Allan and Alex run every engagement end to end, from first call to production. When a project needs depth we do not carry in-house, we bring in a network partner who has it. No bench to justify, no account layer to route through.

05FAQ
Questions,
straight.
Common questions about SMAPAS at a glance. If yours is missing, write to us, we reply in plain language, not sales fluff.
What is SMAPAS?
A full-service AI agency for the German SME market: strategy, pilots in a few weeks, prompt and LLM expertise, productised tools, plus operations and enablement, with a focus on compliance and measurable impact.
Who do you work with?
SMEs and organisations in DACH and Australia, including media and publishing, services, production and trade, culture and public-service, wherever AI should work in operations, not sit in a drawer.
How does a typical pilot run?
First we align on benefit, data, and risk. Then we build a tight pilot, often in 4-6 weeks, with measurable KPIs. Only when the business case holds do we plan scale and integration into CRM, ERP, or Microsoft 365.
What makes you different from classic IT consulting?
We deliver hands-on: active development, architecture, and prompting in one team, not just slides and roadmaps. No hype, only delivery; GDPR and the EU AI Act are part of the design from day one, not bolted on later.
How does collaboration work day-to-day?
Fixed core team, short communication paths, documented decisions. You keep sovereignty over data and systems; we support enablement so your team actually uses the solution.
Is our data protected in AI projects?
Yes, compliant by design. DPA and PIA where needed, traceable data flows, and no unnecessary cloud black boxes. We discuss concrete measures transparently in the first call.
