A review with your teams, then a roadmap to follow, with or without us.

The audit journey, step by step

A short audit, run with your teams, to make decisions.

What we do

In a few days, we listen to your teams, measure where you stand across four areas, then hand you a costed roadmap.

  1. We scope the audit

    One hour with leadership: goals and scope.

  2. We interview teams

    Data, AI, processes, culture: every answer scored from 0 to 5.

  3. We analyse

    In MaturIA: scores by department, maturity radar.

  4. We set the roadmap

    Recommendations prioritised and costed, quarter by quarter.

Consulting: decide, deliver, stay on course

The audit tells you what to do and in what order. Consulting helps you do it.

  1. DecideBefore the projects

    • Data & AI strategy

      In practice

      What you getA clear ambition, approved by leadership, that guides the roadmap and the trade-offs.

      Starting from your business goals to decide what data and AI should bring you, where, and with what resources.

      • Workshops with leadership: goals, constraints, priority areas
      • Shared principles: hosting, choice of AI models, data to protect
      • The resources to plan for: budget, skills, who does what
    • Choosing solutions and providers

      In practice

      What you getSpecifications, a reasoned comparison and a choice you can defend to your board.

      Off-the-shelf software, custom development, AI model, hosting provider: we compare the options against your constraints before you commit.

      • Needs described from how you really work
      • Offers compared on the same criteria: full cost, security, hosting, reversibility
      • Hosting in France or Europe favoured
      See the technology building blocks
  2. DeliverDuring the projects

    • Data & AI project management

      In practice

      What you getA project that stays within scope, a clear progress update at every stage and decisions made in time.

      We run the project alongside you: scoping, planning, coordinating your teams and providers, acceptance testing, go-live.

      • A prototype first, to check the gain before investing further
      • Progress meetings with your teams and your providers
      • Including getting a stalled project moving again
    • AI literacy and change management

      In practice

      What you getTools people actually use, and teams who know why and how to use them.

      From leadership to teams: sharing the basics of AI, explaining what changes for each person and supporting the first weeks of use.

      • A workshop so leadership speaks the same language and can make the calls
      • Champions in each department who bring questions and ideas back
      • Training at the right time, on your own files
      See our training
  3. Stay on courseOver time

    • Steering the roadmap

      In practice

      What you getA roadmap that stays current, and progress measured from one MaturIA audit to the next.

      We support your leadership team or your AI lead in keeping the roadmap alive: project and benefit tracking, trade-offs when priorities change, a new audit to measure progress.

      • Steering meetings, at a pace agreed with you
      • A project dashboard: progress, budget, benefits observed
      • New ideas assessed on the same criteria before they join the roadmap
      See follow-up in MaturIA
    • Data and AI governance

      In practice

      What you getNamed owners, shared definitions for your indicators and access rules everyone knows.

      Who decides, who answers for each key piece of data and each AI tool, who can access them: an organisation sized for your company.

      • A Data & AI lead and a decision forum, at your scale
      • Shared definitions for your key indicators
      • Access rights aligned with those of your tools
All along the way

Responsible use of AI: AI Act and GDPR

In practice

What you getAn inventory of your AI uses, the obligations that apply to each, a usage charter and an action plan.

Listing how you use AI, assessing those uses against the European AI regulation (AI Act) and the GDPR, and setting clear rules of use. The legal side remains for your advisers to confirm.

  • Which tools, for which uses, with which data
  • What must never go into a consumer AI tool
  • AI literacy for the people who use it, with our training

Examples of what we deliver

More focused questions, often handled as one-off advice or as a first audit.

  • Strategy

    Costing an AI project and its ROI

    Development, hosting, subscriptions, your teams' time, set against the expected gains.

  • Assessment

    Spotting processes to automate

    The repetitive tasks that take up the most time, estimated in hours.

  • Assessment

    Mapping your data and your applications

    Your applications, your data and the flows between your tools: who produces what, and who uses it.

  • Organisation

    A skills development plan for your teams

    Who needs what, and in what order: a plan per role, drawn from the audit.

  • Technical choices

    Scoping a change of tools or systems

    ERP, CRM or other software: your uses, data and needs described before you choose.

  • Assessment

    Reviewing your tools and subscriptions

    Software, AI subscriptions and their cost, connections between tools and overlaps.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get asked most often.

How does an audit work?

It starts with a one-hour scoping meeting with leadership: goals, departments involved, people to meet. The audit then takes a few days, depending on the size of the company.

See the audit journey

Do we need projects in mind already?

No. The audit is precisely there to find the use cases with the most value for you. If you already have ideas, we assess them alongside the others, on the same criteria.

What is the audit based on?

On MaturIA, the digital twin of your Data & AI transformation, built by DataFish. It keeps the history, so you measure progress from one audit to the next instead of starting from scratch.

Discover MaturIA

Where is the audit data kept?

In MaturIA: as SaaS, or hosted in your cloud if you want to keep control of your data and of the AI models used.

See the two ways to deploy MaturIA

What happens after the audit?

You decide what comes next: your teams run the projects, with some training if needed, or hand them to us. The roadmap shows where to start, and we can support you: choice of solutions, project management, steering meetings.

See consulting

Can we audit a single department?

Yes. You can start with one department or one process, then extend the audit to the others. The same questions are used everywhere, so you can then compare departments with each other.
