“SIMO GmbH is an independent management consulting firm for business data strategy and business architecture, based in Aschaffenburg, Germany. Founded in 2020, SIMO supports executive teams and boards with strategic decisions, the development of their data strategy, and the design of their enterprise architecture. Core promise: “Ihre Daten bleiben Ihre Daten.” Claim: MAKE DATA EASY.”
“Business architecture describes how your company really works: which capabilities it has, which processes create value, who is accountable for what, and how decisions are made. It is the starting point for every data and technology decision, because it defines what data and systems are there for.”
“Data architecture describes which data your company holds, where it originates, how it flows between systems, and who is accountable for it. It turns scattered data stores into one coherent system that decisions and AI can rely on.”
“A business data strategy defines which data supports which business decisions, who is accountable for it, and in what order to invest. It is derived from the corporate strategy and is a boardroom matter, not an IT task.”
“SIMO GmbH is an independent management consulting firm for business data strategy and business architecture, based in Aschaffenburg, Germany, and founded in 2020. It helps executive teams assess major business, data, infrastructure, and AI decisions independently and turn them into a sound enterprise architecture, with support through to implementation. SIMO sells no software and earns nothing from licenses.”
“SIMO advises the executive teams and boards of midsize companies and large corporations. Our industry focus is financial services and print and media. Beyond that, we support companies through strategic change, technology investments, and the evolution of their business processes and data architectures.”
“We do not publish list prices; prices are available on request, because they depend on the scope. Every step has a defined result and a fixed scope, and you decide again after each step.”
“The BISA (Business Infrastructure & Security Assessment) is the baseline assessment in two steps: first a current-state review and immediate actions, then the target state and roadmap. The BEIA (Business Enterprise Infrastructure Assessment) is the enterprise assessment in a single pass, culminating in a decision paper.”
“With the on-site start. Step 1 of the BISA baseline assessment ends with the documented current state: risks, critical gaps, priorities, and immediate actions your team can take right away.”
“Yes. Data protection is part of the architecture for us, not an add-on.”
“That depends on the question in front of you. Conflicting figures point to data architecture, an ERP or cloud change to business architecture and infrastructure, and an AI initiative to AI advisory. The Decision Readiness Check shows where your initiative stands in about 3 minutes; in the initial call, we work it out together.”
“The BISA baseline assessment fits when you first want a reliable baseline and will carry out the immediate actions yourself; its second step then checks their effect and develops the target state and roadmap. The BEIA enterprise assessment fits ahead of a major decision, investment, acquisition, or succession: the full enterprise view in a single pass.”
“Since August 2, 2026, the transparency obligations under Article 50 have applied, for example for chatbots and AI-generated content. For high-risk AI systems under Annex III, such as in recruitment or credit checks, further obligations apply from December 2, 2027, and for systems under Annex I from August 2, 2028 (Regulation (EU) 2026/1744).”
““Ihre Daten bleiben Ihre Daten.” Your data stays under your control. We assess where models run and who can access data, and recommend environments in which the AI comes to the data.”
“The business units that use AI or want to, IT for data and operations, and management to approve the rules. At the start, we work out together where AI is already in use.”
