Your Automation Center of Excellence
Every company that becomes autonomous has an AI department. Ours is delivered.
The orchestration world has learned one thing in ten years: nobody reaches scale without a Center of Excellence: a small team that owns the map, the standards, the tooling, the enablement and the value tracking. Large enterprises build one. A mid-sized company can’t hire one. So Borek delivers it: the AI department is your Automation CoE, staffed from our hub, steered from Germany, and growing with you from the first block to the autonomous company.

Anti-patterns we contract against: the ivory tower (we work on a pull basis: your departments decide the order) · planning over doing (first block live in 30 days) · too much too early (foundation grows with real blocks, never ahead of them) · no mandate (sponsor from management and a named German project lead from day one).
FAQ
We already have an internal team. Do we still need this?
Then you need people who build; the team works your backlog and your IT keeps the core.
Can the CoE become ours later?
Yes, every specification and pattern is written for hand-over; many clients run a hybrid: their IT owns the systems, Borek owns the automations.
How big is it?
Two developers and a project lead to start; four to twelve FTE in a full pipeline.
