We Deliver Agentic AI

From technological innovation to practical application

Companies want solutions that work. MATTER assesses which technologies are suitable for the given requirements and under what conditions they can be used effectively and safely in projects. 

To this end, an interdisciplinary MATTER task force constantly monitors market developments, evaluates new tools and tests them in specific application scenarios. 

Suitable technologies are integrated into existing development environments and delivery processes. Reusable architectural building blocks, toolchains and best practices then facilitate their use in further projects. In this way, Materna shortens the path from technological assessment to productive use. 

Speed and clear guidelines

Agent-based application development delivers benefits throughout the entire software lifecycle. AI can already assist with the analysis and structuring of requirements. Further areas of application range from architecture and implementation, through testing and quality assurance, to documentation, operation and modernisation.

MATTER organises these possibilities into a common process model. The framework defines which tasks agents can undertake, where human approval is required and how results are verified. The appropriate level of automation depends on the specific use case, the system landscape and the project’s security requirements.

People specify objectives, requirements and guidelines. AI agents carry out suitable work steps and coordinate their tasks. Subject matter experts review the results and retain responsibility for architecture, quality and technical decisions.

In this way, MATTER combines faster development with transparent control.

Security and Governance by Design

The use of AI in software development touches on sensitive areas. Source code, development data, business logic and internal documentation require appropriate protection. Regulatory requirements, access rights and the selection of suitable operating models must also be taken into account at an early stage. 

MATTER integrates these requirements into the assessment and implementation of new tools during the selection process. Among other things, the task force examines: 

• what data a tool processes, 
• where this data is stored, 
• which models and external services are used, 
• how access and permissions are regulated, 
• how results can be logged and verified, 
• which cloud, on-premises or hybrid operating models are suitable. 

Security and compliance requirements underpin the entire development process and form an integral part of the architecture. 

Technological openness and digital sovereignty 

AI components under development are becoming increasingly autonomous and powerful. The appropriate approach depends on the use case, business requirements and the need for protection.

MATTER therefore relies on modular architectures, open interfaces and interchangeable components. This ensures that solutions remain flexible, scalable and independent of specific technologies. AI models, agents, data sources and tools can be combined to suit the specific environment. Depending on requirements, solutions can be operated in the public cloud, in sovereign cloud environments, on-premises or in a hybrid setup.
