Own Your Intelligence — The Sovereign AI Option
Vendors of AI-driven SaaS platforms typically access frontier LLMs offered by leading providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind. While these models provide powerful general-purpose capabilities, inputs such as prompts, contextual data, and corporate knowledge are often processed on external cloud infrastructure outside your direct control.
The most operationally relevant AI outcomes are achieved when models are adapted, grounded, and continuously informed by an organisation's own domain knowledge, workflows, standards, and operational data. To address both the security and accuracy needs of our clients, iDC is developing a self-contained Sovereign AI Platform.
Domain-Adapted Open-Source LLM
A model-agnostic open-source LLM with domain-specific LoRA adaptation — informed by corporate procedures, operational workflows, industry standards, and regulatory compliance frameworks.
Sovereign RAG Layer
A retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) abstraction layer with locally hosted embedding models and vector databases for secure domain knowledge retrieval — entirely within your environment.
Edge-Optimised Language Model
A custom distilled small-language model optimised for deployment on edge devices and operational environments — delivering AI capability where connectivity is limited or restricted.
The platform delivers fully sovereign AI capability with integrated governance, auditability, role-based access control, model provenance, and secure workflow management. All inference, orchestration, embeddings, vector stores, and operational data remain entirely within your environment.
Now, "On-Prem" really does mean "On-Prem".
Full-stack AI capability with fully local inference. No external APIs. No third-party inference dependency. No per-token costs. No compromise on data sovereignty, operational workflows, or corporate knowledge.
Traditional Cloud AI

Sovereign AI
On-Premise AI Ownership
Run your entire AI ecosystem on-premise. Full ownership of models, data, and logic — no external APIs, no per-token costs, no vendor dependency.
iDC Platform
Enterprise AI Delivery Platform
The full-stack platform powering all iDC products. LaunchPad, MissionControl, Constellation — production-ready from day one, not from demo.
One AI. Four Pillars. Infinite Application.
The iDC Platform is an ecosystem of four production-ready pillars — CertifAI, CertifAI Maintenance, Performance Coach, and Back Office Solutions — unified by the BOA orchestration layer. Built to close the gap between AI pilots and real enterprise outcomes.
From POC Graveyard to Production
Every iDC capability maps directly to a real enterprise pain point.
AI pilots that never scale ('POC graveyard')
Designed for real production from day one — no rework, no stalled initiatives
Lack of governance, testing, and operational readiness
Built-in controls and testing frameworks reduce risk when moving to production
Tool sprawl — disconnected development, deployment, and monitoring tools
An integrated platform reduces overhead and lowers total cost of ownership
Security and compliance added too late, causing delays
Enterprise-grade security, SSO, RBAC, and audit are native — not bolted on
Heavy DevOps burden and slow manual releases
Automated, repeatable deployments eliminate infrastructure friction
Poor system design causing scalability issues
Clean architectural separation of concerns ensures long-term maintainability
High infrastructure costs and unreliable performance
Cloud-native, serverless runtime enables elastic scaling and efficient resource usage
Fragmented data sources and complex data pipelines
Integrated data infrastructure simplifies access to structured and unstructured data
Reactive incident management and lack of observability
Real-time monitoring and proactive alerting keep operations ahead of issues
Rebuilding common functionality and slow system integration
Reusable components and pre-built integrations accelerate delivery across every pillar
One AI. Four Pillars. Infinite Application.
At the centre sits the Back Office Agent (BOA) — an intelligent orchestration engine that automates all processes across the four pillars: CertifAI™, CertifAI Maintenance, Performance Coach, and Back Office Solutions.
CertifAI™
The core operational assurance platform delivering certified digital workflows, sensor verification, and unified reporting across all field operations.
CertifAI Maintenance
NEWCloses the loop between field findings and enterprise systems. Automated work orders, bi-directional API integration with IFS/SAP, and intelligent SLA management.
Performance Coach
NEWTransforms operational performance data into measurable commercial outcomes. The Performance Coach closes the value loop — from operational execution through to automated payment — creating a transparent, data-driven commercial relationship between operators and contractors.
Back Office Solutions (BOS)
NEWConnects the gaps in your operational software stack. From HR planning to financial process automation, BOS eliminates the orphaned processes that drain productivity and create compliance risk — all powered by the BOA at the centre.
CertifAI™ The Foundation
Digitise, certify, and collaborate. CertifAI™ is the sector-agnostic, tablet-delivered procedural assurance platform that fully digitises and certifies operational adherence — applicable to any regulated industry, from energy and manufacturing to maritime, construction, and healthcare.
Why CertifAI™?
Across every regulated industry — from energy and manufacturing to maritime, construction, and healthcare — organisations face the same fundamental challenge: ensuring that operations are performed correctly, that data is trustworthy, and that compliance is demonstrable. CertifAI™ addresses all three. It is a sector-agnostic platform that digitises operational procedures, certifies data quality at the source, and delivers real-time assurance to every stakeholder in the chain. iDC is committed to giving organisations in any industry the tools to verify, certify, and continuously improve their operations.
CertifAI™ Asset & Equipment Verification
Ensures procedural adherence, verification, and quality assurance of critical operational assets across any industry. Captures asset verification data, incorporates site and equipment metadata, and delivers both a health report and a certification tag — covering the full asset lifecycle from commissioning to decommissioning.
CertifAI™ Operational Data Quality
Real-time data quality is the cornerstone of effective operational performance across every sector. iDC certifies the integrity of sensor and operational data at the source — enabling automation, performance-based contracts, and regulatory compliance for any industry that depends on trusted data.
CertifAI™ Digitised Checklists & SoPs
Transforms static paper checklists and SOP documents into dynamic, tablet-delivered procedural assurance environments — applicable to any regulated operation. Each completed check becomes a risk-assessed data source with admin-defined escalation at the task level, with image capture and complex workflow support.
Beyond Certification. Full Operational AI.
Building on the CertifAI foundation, iDC Solutions now delivers three additional pillars — CertifAI Maintenance, Performance Coach, and Back Office Solutions — all orchestrated by the BOA at the centre of the ecosystem.
CertifAI Maintenance
Closes the loop between field findings and enterprise systems. When CertifAI identifies a fault or non-conformance in the field, Maintenance automatically generates work orders, assigns resources, and tracks resolution — all integrated with your existing IFS or SAP environment.
