AI in practice.

Specific AI use cases that deliver real added value in day-to-day IT operations.

Discover how artificial intelligence can measurably simplify your day-to-day IT operations. Using concrete practical examples such as Bechtle GPT, the hallucination-free chatbot ‘Emma’ and the ‘made in Germany’ AI document solutions from Planet AI, we demonstrate how AI automates processes, speeds up support and reduces the workload on your staff – in a practical, understandable way that can be applied to your organisation immediately.

Digital sovereignty.

Control, transparency and independence for your IT strategy.

How sovereign is your IT really? Find out how to ensure the long-term sovereignty of your data, processes and infrastructure. We present the Bechtle Index of Sovereignty (BIoS), which enables us to measure digital sovereignty. Together with our exhibitors Nextcloud, SUSE and OpenTalk, we demonstrate how open, transparent and legally compliant solutions enable greater control, flexibility and independence for your organisation – in the cloud and on-premises.
