Deep Dive: Generative AI
Using
GenAI
Safely
From hype to implementation: how companies can use generative AI successfully and safely
Generative AI (GenAI) has conquered many areas of business in record time – from automated content creation to intelligent decision support. However, there are numerous challenges between the first pilot projects and measurable business benefits: technical complexity, sensitive data, security issues and, last but not least, changing processes and mindsets.
H&Z.digital helps companies to integrate GenAI into their organization in a targeted and sustainable manner – securely, scalably and with business relevance.
The advantages of generative AI
Finding a solution faster
GenAI significantly accelerates information processing. Large volumes of data are analyzed in a matter of seconds, relevant content is automatically summarized and well-founded decisions can be made in the shortest possible time – whether by text input, voice or seamlessly embedded in existing applications.
More efficient processes
Recurring tasks in areas such as purchasing, reporting or knowledge management can be intelligently automated with GenAI. This frees up valuable time for specialists to focus on strategic activities and enables companies to measurably increase their operational efficiency
Simplifying access to knowledge
The use of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and intelligent knowledge bases makes internal expert knowledge systematically usable. Employees receive context-accurate answers to complex questions – at any time, securely and without lengthy searches.
Individual tools instead of one-size-fits-all solutions
GenAI applications can be tailored specifically to roles, processes and data structures in the company. Whether legal chatbot, controlling assistant or knowledge database – each solution is as individual as your use case.
Scalable architecture
GenAI can be introduced on a modular basis – from initial quick wins and productive MVPs through to a company-wide platform solution. This creates sustainable, scalable solutions that grow with your requirements.
Empowering employees
Thanks to intuitive interfaces, targeted workshops and prompt toolkits, GenAI is within everyone’s reach. Employees are not replaced, but empowered – to become active co-creators of the digital transformation.
Ensuring compliance & security
With private LLMs, GDPR-compliant data processing and controlled hosting models, GenAI offers maximum security even in sensitive areas. This is how innovation succeeds with responsibility.
Opportunities & risks of using generative AI
Generative AI opens up new opportunities for companies – from increased efficiency and intelligent automation to data-based decisions in real time. At the same time, the use of this technology also brings challenges: data protection, ethical issues and organizational change are just some of the aspects that need to be taken into account. Implementing GenAI sustainably and securely requires a balanced view of the opportunities and risks – technological, legal and cultural.
Challenges
- Improper data processing can lead to data breaches and compliance risks.
- Without change management, GenAI initiatives are often met with skepticism and rejection
- Unsuitable use cases cause effort without relevant added value
Opportunities
- GenAI reduces manual effort and supports the shift towards a more strategic way of working
- Companies reduce costs through more efficient processes and less manual effort
- Context-based AI analyses make decisions faster and more informed

Use Cases – How GenAI works in practice
Contract Intelligence
With GenAI, you can automate contract analyses, identify risks at an early stage and compare clauses semantically – even in different versions or languages. Voice-controlled queries, automatic alerts and a central view of relevant contracts make contract management more efficient and secure.
Procurement Assistant
Our AI-supported purchasing assistant analyses live data, evaluates suppliers, visualizes potential savings and simulates scenarios – e.g. for tenders or pooling. This allows you to make strategic purchasing decisions more quickly and on a more informed basis.
Controlling & Reporting
GenAI takes over the tedious preparatory work for your reporting: automatic analyses, text summaries, KPI evaluations and voice-controlled report generation. You get clear insights – faster, more consistent and individually tailored to your reporting setup.
Knowledge management
With intelligent, interactive knowledge bases based on RAG, you can restructure internal knowledge: employees can find information precisely and contextually – using natural language and in securely hosted LLM environments. Ideal for HR, IT, Legal or Customer Service.

Showcase: Our own SafeAI “Lizzy”
The project was a bespoke model using proprietary H&Z data running on the RAG architecture.
Our internal LLM “Lizzy” was developed specifically for the requirements of H&Z – with a clear focus on data security, efficiency and maximum relevance for our daily project work. By combining Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with company-specific knowledge, we can provide precise, contextualized answers – in real time and based on our own expertise.
