With scientifically sound potential analyses, you can identify concrete opportunities for digitalization, automation, and efficiency improvements. We support you in a practical and independent way. Our approach is based on the latest research findings as well as extensive experience from numerous industrial projects and previous potential analyses.

fortiss offers potential analyses specifically for the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and innovative software solutions. We combine scientific excellence with long-standing industry experience, providing you with an independent, technology-neutral perspective – always focused on your individual requirements and strategic goals.

Our potential analyses are aimed at companies of all sizes and industries. They are particularly effective for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as a practical entry point to realistically assess the opportunities of data-driven applications.

You will gain a reliable basis for decision-making in your digital transformation. The analysis highlights where investments in AI and software truly pay off – and how you can approach specific projects in a structured way.

Typically, two fortiss experts will guide you through the analysis process—on-site or online. In three steps, we collaboratively develop well-founded approaches for your digital advancement:

• Kick-off & Initial Assessment: We get to know your company, processes, and challenges. Initial ideas for the application of software and AI are collected and organized together.
• Deep Dive & Evaluation: We analyze specific pain points, identify potential opportunities, and assess them in terms of feasibility and benefit—complemented by insights from research and technology.
• Final Report & Wrap-up Workshop: You receive a structured report with clear recommendations and prioritized actions. In the workshop, we discuss the next steps for implementation together.

The potential analysis is the ideal starting point for your next steps. Based on the results, we are happy to develop a strategy for implementation in a joint project:

• Funded Projects: We support you as a scientific partner in applying for and implementing publicly funded research and development projects.
• Contract Research: We address your individual questions in tailor-made research and development projects.
• Guided Implementation & Knowledge Transfer: We strengthen your competencies so that you can sustainably drive innovations forward on your own.
