A connection layer that defines direction, frequency, authorization and failure behavior for every source
02 / Advanced Technology Solutions
Which systems should connect, and which data must remain outside the AI boundary?
Decision scope
An auditable access boundary, not a connector catalogue
The argemas AI Integration Layer connects selected software, hardware and data sources to the access boundary of a defined use case.
The system of record remains in place. Technical discovery defines each connection’s data objects, direction, frequency, authorization, failure behavior and acceptance test.
01 / Responsibility
Two layers, two responsibilities
LAYER 01
AI Integration Layer
Connects AI securely to permitted systems, devices, documents and data sources.
Connectivity
Data flow
Authorization
LAYER 02
AI Layer
Turns unified data into analysis, decision support, foresight and controlled automation.
Analysis
Decision support
Action
02 / Source register
Supported integration categories
The exact version, data objects, direction, frequency, failure behavior and acceptance scenario of each connection are validated during technical discovery.

SRC 06
Data security and access
Provider-independent: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or a local model
Zero Data Retention: queries are not stored by the provider or used for training
Access rights per department and per person
Blocking before the query, at the database and on the way back
Read-only first; writes only to separate tables, with human approval
Intent and executed-code logging per user
Air-gapped deployment option
03 / Acceptance boundary
Technical acceptance principles
01The existing system of record remains authoritative
02The connection uses a documented interface
03Flow frequency is defined by the use case
04Vendor and version differences are verified in discovery
05Unauthorized data objects remain outside the boundary
06Success, failure and retry events are traceable
