UNITY Launches AI Booster

BüUNITY acquires a specialized team of AI experts from NEXT Data Service AG. The asset deal strengthens UNITY’s capabilities in AI-driven and customized software engineering. The acquisition is part of UNITY’s growth strategy, which aims to gain critical expertise and further diversify its customer base. 

With this AI Booster Team, UNITY is taking a leading role in the evolving management consulting industry. Leveraging their extensive AI expertise, our consulting teams deliver customized solutions that are precisely tailored to each client’s unique business processes. The implementation of AI agents delivers measurable efficiency gains, faster workflows, and a sustainable improvement in business results.

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming the world of work and opening up entirely new opportunities for companies to streamline their business processes. UNITY has been helping companies optimize and digitize their processes for over 30 years—and now AI is taking this efficiency boost to a whole new level. “Our goal is to make companies future-proof and significantly more competitive in the age of AI,” explains Christoph Plass, founder and member of the supervisory board at UNITY. “At the same time, we also want to leverage the efficiency potential offered by AI within UNITY itself. The proven expertise of our new hires is helping us in this regard as well, enabling us to drive the transformation of our consulting model with our own expertise and strength.”

Intelligent AI agents handle recurring routine tasks independently, while employees act as strategic overseers and can focus on value-adding activities. “This collaboration between ‘humans and machines’ enables significant productivity gains, reduces operational costs, and creates room for innovation and growth,” adds Stephan Sommer-Schulz, who is moving from NEXT to UNITY to take on the role of AI Evangelist.

Since its founding in 2018, NEXT Data Service AG has been part of the UNITY Innovation Alliance and has enjoyed success in the market with customized solutions for big data analytics and artificial intelligence. With the integration of some of its AI and software engineers into UNITY, NEXT Data Service AG will now serve as a holding company for its own successful spin-offs.
