The crossroads · Partners

01 Who it is for

For everyone who already looks after companies.

Your clients ask for AI but do not want their data in US clouds. With apertus.ai you have an answer without building an AI platform yourselves.

01

System integrators & IT service providers

You run your clients' networks, servers and workplaces. AI becomes the next building block in your portfolio, cleanly separated per client.

02

Managed service providers & hosting companies

Your clients' systems already run with you. Gateway, models and apps join them, in your environment or in our EU cloud.

03

Consultancies & software companies

You build processes and applications for your clients. With the gateway your solutions get European models and secure access to internal data.

02 What your clients get

Everything AI in a company needs.

You bring the client relationship, we bring the platform. Every client gets their own instance, not a shared account on someone else's platform.

European models through their own gateway

A dedicated AI & MCP gateway per client, preconfigured. European and open models are ready right away, through an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

  • Permissions, keys and budgets per team
  • Audit log for every request
  • Legal documents such as the DPA included
AI & MCP gateway

Custom apps & open source

Open WebUI as the chat for every employee, n8n for automation and your own applications run on the same Kubernetes platform next to the gateway.

  • Open WebUI, n8n, Qdrant, Paperless-ngx
  • Your own apps as containers alongside
  • Model access only through the gateway
Custom apps

Run where the client already is

No move to a new cloud: gateway and apps run on the client's premises, in their existing data centre or in our EU cloud. We take care of updates and monitoring.

  • On-premise with local models
  • In the existing data centre
  • Or in ISO 27001 certified data centres in the EU
Managed operations

03 Hosting

The AI comes to the data.

Your clients already run their systems somewhere: in their own server room, with you or with a hosting company. That is exactly where we set up the gateway and apps.

  1. On the client's premises Gateway, apps and local models inside the client's network, on an AI Box or AI Powerhouse if they like. The MCP gateway connects the models to internal databases.
  2. In the existing data centre With you or with the client's hosting company, next to the systems already running there. The data stays where it is today.
  3. In our EU cloud For a quick start: dedicated per client, in ISO 27001 certified data centres in the EU.

Routing profiles decide whether the models answer from the EU or from Switzerland. Models by location

FAQ Frequently asked

What partners want to know first.

01Who can become a partner?

System integrators, IT service providers, managed service providers, hosting companies, consultancies and software companies that look after companies and want to offer them GDPR-compliant AI.

02Where does our clients' data run?

Wherever you decide: on the client's premises, in the existing data centre or in our EU cloud in ISO 27001 certified data centres. Routing profiles decide whether models answer from the EU or from Switzerland.

Not necessarily. The gateway comes preconfigured, with models, permissions and the legal documents such as the DPA. We support you with setup, use cases and operations.

04Can we bring our clients' own applications?

Yes. Your own apps run as containers on the same Kubernetes platform next to Open WebUI, n8n and co. and reach the models through the gateway.

05What does it cost?

We agree the partner terms in a personal conversation. The token prices of the models are in our price list.
