Sovereign Automation Tools and Consulting
Our automation tools help customers deliver results every day.
AI is a HOT subject, but the “How?” to implement securely largely unknown.
We help customers identify, implement, and leverage the right tools for the right jobs - safely!
Excel-based and AI-enabled interfaces designed to help customers automate their workflows and maximize their Creo Parametric investments.
Purpose-built AI capabilities that help accelerate procurement, planning, specifications, and item reuse.
Expert guidance on "how?" to implement Local AI to protect your business data, processes, and interactions.
Sovereign Local AI
AI is moving faster than most companies can generate a Purchase Order to buy it.
Companies require well-defined, repeatable/traceable processes, and interactions - not operational, regulatory, or legal risks delivered with random Cloud AI model updates.
Cloud AI projects get the initial traction, and most pilots quietly die a few months later.
Your data, knowledge, and processes define, sustain and grow your company.
Handing ALL that to a third party is a choice - NOT a requirement.
Companies want the benefits of AI, they just don't know "how?" to do it safely.
Here are some perspectives to consider.
Their Infrastructure... Their Terms.

Your infrastructure, your data, your terms.

Cloud for leverage + Local for control
Cloud AI for work that does NOT carry the company: public research, drafting and editing non-critical documents, throwaway prototypes, non-critical code for business/personal needs.
Local AI for the work that IS the company: orchestration and handling of company critical and proprietary data, code, and/or internal processes that you need to sustain long after the cloud model is retired without notice.

Everyone is flooded with single-prompted AI magic on social media; this has elevated expectations to the point where Cloud AI appears to be the ONLY answer.
However, when companies actually read the Cloud AI Partner/Platform Terms and Conditions (T&Cs), public disclosures of improper data access and handling, etc. - significant and justifiable concerns arise.
If your company wants the benefits of AI without the risks... we should talk!
We look for customer pain, understand it, and fix it!
Decades of experience across multiple domains bring unique and honest perspectives on improving customer processes with technology.
Artificial Intelligence is changing the discussion, but legacy tools and processes remain. We bring unique perspectives on where and when to use each.
Our products enable customers to accelerate their business through technology and process improvements. We want customers to look good!
The obvious problems are not obvious when you are close to them. Fresh ears, eyes, and ideas on old problems often reveal unseen opportunities.
We have worked both as buyers and sellers within procurement.
The process is broken. Request for Proposals, Information, Quotation, Solutions, etc. (RFx) all use a broken process of publish, submit, team reviews, compliance analysis, consensus reviews, and decision/award.
What IF compliance analysis to the "left" and knowledge-guided Artificial Intelligence (AI) was in the mix?
The result? 60% faster reviews, decisions and awards! BidHawk.ai was born!
Project Management tools, frameworks, and cultural ceremonies have become more of a distraction than a benefit.
Tools and certifications have become more important than delivering results. Their inherent limitations prevent capture, analysis, and rapid discovery and iteration.
This is why we built OurPlans.io
3D Parametric Design was a game changer for mechanical engineering in the 1990's. The approach transformed the entire industry.
New expectations were set for how products were designed and manufactured.
We built tools like:
to help customers accelerate their design, documentation, and Bill of Materials (BOM) processes using Microsoft Excel.
Some hard lessons learned have lead to this advice.
We work with frustrated professionals who realize that data is crucial to business success. They fail to identify, leverage and optimize:
Data Sources
Data Accuracy
Data Flow & Usage
It does not matter if their data is driving new product design, purchases, configurations or expert recommendations — everything starts here.
Any successful digital or process transformation requires a clear understanding of current state vs future state:
Business Process Modeling (BPM)
Features
Workflows
Measures for Success
Failure to understand the current and future state, the costs, and "why" will waste time and money.
Be Skeptical
Stay Informed & Realistic
