Data & AI

Why AI starts with data.

Useful AI starts with the data you already have.

We are not an AI laboratory. We are a data company: we train and put models into service from your existing systems — ERP, data warehouse, integration flows — and we deliver them where your teams make decisions, in their dashboards.

The right question is not "which model?" but "which business decision does this model allow us to take a week earlier?"

  1. Reliable, governed data

    Reference data, quality and responsibilities clarified before a model is trained or connected.

    Data Governance, MDM & Data Quality
  2. Use cases chosen for their value

    A portfolio prioritised by business value, feasibility and risk, and prototyped fast.

    Data & AI Assessment
  3. Controlled industrialisation

    Integration with your tools, monitoring, security, GDPR and AI Act compliance.

Why SOFALI

What you can expect from us.

Three commitments kept on every engagement, from strategy to production.

  1. i. Senior supervision

    A senior consultant supervises every engagement, in direct contact with your business teams, from scoping to production.

  2. ii. Short, measurable steps

    We start from the decisions to be made and the data that weighs most, and we deliver in scopes that are used as the project goes.

  3. iii. Handover to your teams

    What we build is documented, operated and then handed over to your teams: training, autonomy on analyses, reversibility.

Have a project? Let's talk.

A first conversation to frame your needs, with no commitment, in Paris or Casablanca.
