Enterprise AI Foundation Architecture

SECURE ORGANIZATIONAL FOUNDATION AI (SOFA)

Thorben developed its Secure Organizational Foundation AI (SOFA) to help organizations establish their own AI capability based on their own data and business processes. Thorben's SOFA solution serves as your own innovation lab and AI foundation to incrementally add AI capabilities to your organization based on how you actually operate rather than someone else's idea of how you should operate.

Thorben has developed our SOFA solution built leveraging AWS BEDROCK, AWS LISA, Open source LiteLLM operating within AWS to accelerate the deployment and standardize the operationalization of Generative AI applications and Machine Learning capabilities. The SOFA solution is rooted in AWS Well-Architected best practices and Zero Trust Architecture principles. The SOFA offers customers a proven ATO-ready platform to repeatedly deploy customer-specific AI capabilities (AI Agents, RAG, Chatbot, Agentic AI) within the enterprise at the corporate, program, or system level.

The SOFA solution MCP and API Hub capabilities can serve as a central AI hub and bridge AI Agents across the enterprise. Thorben combines established and proven AWS services to deliver AI Capabilities using this architecture.

Thorben built our Secure Organizational Foundation AI with government security requirements in mind.

Unified Platform Management

SOFA provides admin UI to deploy features, manage users, manage RAGs, AI APIs, and MCP processes from a single UI

Implementation Strategy

Thorben implements SOFA within Client AWS Accounts to address AI Solutions areas clients select. Thorben's SOFA manages AI capabilities in a unified, secure, and scalable manner for enterprises on an ongoing basis. Benefits include avoiding redundant data ingestion through creating customer specific RAG, sharing AI across fragmented AI silos via OpenAI standards and AWS FinOps costs management to avoid unpredictable and ever escalating SaaS charges without regard to benefits.

Thorben has a defined and proven AI implementation process. During this process Thorben works with clients to identify their goals and requirements, their biggest challenges and pain points, their current IT landscape, their current data management approach, their integration requirements, their performance needs and project scope. Thorben provides performance focused AI to improve user productivity, resource usage and deployable capabilities.

Thorben's SOFA provides a full range of AI capabilities including Chatbot functions. Thorben offers to provide you with a demonstration so we can start building your Enterprise AI foundation together.
