We choose LCL because they, as the Belgian market leader, are the party that provides the secure place where DataNerds can build an impenetrable physical and legal fortress. Your data is stored exclusively on Belgian soil within the highly secured data centers in Antwerp, Brussels, or Wallonia. The hardware and servers are owned by DataNerds and run in LCL racks.

Through this local anchoring, exclusive control over the digital future remains in our hands, while simultaneously benefiting from an infrastructure that is up to 30% more cost-effective than having your own server space.

Your own Thor on our hardware

After our lawyers have done their work on legalizing the technology and the engineers have developed a custom Thor for your company, our hardware and server architect Thor will safely localize in the highly secured environment of the LCL data center.

The Sovereign Brain of Europe

We use the models from Mistral AI. These provide the power of GPT-4, optimized for European legislation.

Mistral AI: Unbounded Intelligence. Governed by You.

As the European answer to the dominance of Silicon Valley, Mistral AI offers the most advanced language models specifically designed for maximum transparency and adaptability. 

The brain behind Thor

Because Mistral offers these models bare, our engineers create a ready-to-use environment. The necessary sandboxes and API connections are added. To remain in line with the guidelines required by Europe and to ensure safety, we offer MaaS (Monitoring-as-a-Service). This way, the technical boundaries are monitored, and intervention can always occur if necessary. Additionally, we continue to train Thor and anticipate European legislation.

We seamlessly integrate Mistral AI’s cognitive capabilities directly with your SAP or any EU-based ERP infrastructure. This equips THOR with real-time contextual awareness across your entire inventory, CRM, and accounting ecosystems.

SAP and European legacy systems

if your enterprise operates on SAP or another robust, European-born ERP architecture, your digital foundation is already safely insulated from the extraterritorial reach of the US Cloud Act. Integrating THOR into this environment is remarkably streamlined. We bring sovereign intelligence directly to your existing data layer, completely eliminating the need for complex, costly migrations.

Navigating the Shift to Sovereign Infrastructure

Of course, there are many companies that have been running on American databases and ERP systems for years. We understand that it is extremely difficult to move such databases to a legally compliant environment. Yet, this is not news. Companies have always known that the time would come when something had to be done with the data accumulated over the years. With AI, everything changes. We are at a tipping point, and due to the geopolitical situation and the continental regulations that are in conflict, companies are forced to make the exercise: move a database of years, or stay put and risk fines of millions of euros or up to 7% of global annual revenue for not being compliant with the EU AI Act. If we make the exercise with our risk assessment, the decision is quickly made.

Of course, DataNerds has come up with a solution regarding this. We have our own data department with brilliant data engineers who are steering the data integration project in the right direction. This is not a one-week project; it needs to be approached with the utmost care and attention. Once this is done and the data is secure and compliant with the legislation, the way is clear for AI, and we can fully commit to automation.
