– Complex to deploy and use.
– Rigid in their approaches.
– Very expensive to use and maintain.
thaink² is the modern alternative: a modular platform, quick to implement and designed for your business challenges, while respecting the security of your data.

How to budget for the acquisition of a Data & AI platform?
To accurately estimate the budget, four main cost items must be taken into account:
1. Setup and integration costs:
installation, initial configuration, architecture setup (cloud or on-premise), data migration.
How much should you budget for?
– From €25k to several hundred thousand euros for traditional platforms.
– At thaink²: $0, thanks to simplified, modular installation.
2. Licenses & recurring fees:
billing per user, per computing capacity, or per activated features.
What should you anticipate?
– Hidden costs (e.g., additional storage, APIs, premium connectors).
– At thaink², modular and scalable licenses mean you only pay for what you use.
3. Implementation timeframes
Direct impact on ROI: the longer a platform takes to deploy (often several months), the more the project budget increases (teams mobilized, consultants, lost opportunities).
What should you expect?
Leading platforms = weeks/months VS thaink² = a few days for an operational POC.
