In short: I design, build, and operate agentic AI systems for Swiss companies. I currently lead agentic workflows for SAP and database migrations as well as historization cases at Data Migrations Solutions AG. I bring the same engineering to SME and enterprise projects in Switzerland — from the first discovery workshop to live operation in production.

What is it?

Agents aren't chatbots

An agent is an AI system that receives a goal, breaks it down into steps, uses tools, evaluates intermediate results, and escalates when uncertain. Unlike a chatbot, an agent doesn't just react — it plans and acts.

That makes agents suitable for the work that today ties humans up in routine loops: data extraction with case distinctions, migration preparation, compliance reviews, triage. Where classical RPA fails because of "too many edge cases", a well-designed agent gets to the goal.

Live in production: agentic workflows for SAP migrations and historization.

At Data Migrations Solutions AG I work on agentic workflows for the JiVS platform — the Swiss market standard for enterprise data migration and historization. Concrete areas:

  • Agentic SAP→cloud migration: agents plan migration-object backlogs, map schemas, validate extracts, and escalate in a structured way.
  • Historization decisions: classification of which legacy data has to be migrated, historized, or archived — driven by GoBD/Swiss FADP requirements.
  • Data quality & audit: cross-checks between source and target systems with audit-ready reports.

Detailed use cases for each of these areas are in the use case library (in preparation).

What I deliver

Capabilities

Agent architecture & design

Planner/executor patterns, tool use, memory, human-in-the-loop escalation, multi-agent orchestration. With Claude, GPT-4/5, or open-source models.

SAP & enterprise data

Experience with SAP S/4HANA migrations, the JiVS platform, Z-table reconciliation, customizing analysis, and historization compliance.

Guardrails & evaluation

Input/output filters, eval datasets, regression tests, cost caps. So you know when the agent is good — and when it isn't.

Process Automation 2.0

Where classical RPA / Power Automate fails on edge cases, agents take over. Power Platform stays as a delivery option (not as the headline).

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between an agent and a chatbot?

A chatbot reacts to user input and executes predefined actions. An agent is given a goal, plans steps on its own, calls tools, evaluates intermediate results, and decides when it's done or when to escalate. That makes agents suitable for open-ended tasks with many edge cases — for example preparing a SAP migration.

How does an agentic SAP migration work?

Instead of manually analyzing every migration object, an agent takes over the preparatory work: it reads schema definitions, looks for customer-specific Z-fields, checks data quality, suggests mappings, and produces a structured plan. The human migration expert only reviews escalations and final sign-offs. A detailed use-case page is coming in the use case library.

Which LLMs do you use for agentic workflows?

Pragmatically chosen per use case: Claude (Anthropic) for longer reasoning chains, GPT-4/5 for multi-tool use, open-source models (Qwen, Llama) where data residency or cost are decisive. Hosting: Azure OpenAI Switzerland, AWS Bedrock EU, or on-premises via vLLM/Ollama.

What does an agentic workflow project cost?

A typical PoC sprint costs between CHF 15,000 and CHF 35,000 (two weeks, one concrete use case, delivered end-to-end). Production implementations start at CHF 50,000 for tightly scoped use cases. Precise costing follows a non-binding discovery call.

How do you make sure an agent doesn't make mistakes in production?

Three layers: (1) an eval set with curated test cases before every deployment; (2) guardrails for input/output (cost caps, output schema validation, dangerous tool calls as human-in-the-loop); (3) observability in production (logs, escalation rates, drift monitoring). No agent goes live without these three.
