An AI integration partner helps you take AI into production. What should you focus on when choosing one?

What to focus on

  • Experience with integration and connecting systems.
  • A model-agnostic approach (not imposing a single vendor).
  • Transparency about what is and is not included.
  • Compliance with South African privacy and sector rules.

An honest note about dgm

dgm is an independent integration partner for osFoundry — it is not affiliated with osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has not yet completed an integration project for any client. osFoundry is a model-agnostic AI orchestration platform built on a bring-your-own-key (BYOK) principle: usage-based pricing with no per-user fee, local-first and self-hostable operation, the option to pin your data region (US, EU or Japan) or to deploy it inside your own private cloud.

Where dgm comes in

dgm is an independent integration partner that helps organisations in South Africa adopt the osFoundry platform — from identifying the first practical use case, to setting it up, to connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm operates separately from osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has not yet completed an integration project for any client, so everything above is a proposed service rather than a delivered outcome. If you would like to weigh up a practical first step, dgm would be glad to think it through with you. Arrange an introductory call with dgm.
