UKA needed a secure, data protection-compliant generative AI tool that employees could use with company data and internal documents while retaining control of data under GDPR and German data protection law.
Reported impact
UKA gave employees a secure multilingual generative AI tool for research, information procurement, and content creation, reducing repetitive effort, accelerating workflows, and shortening the path from AI use case to productive deployment while maintaining data sovereignty.
UKA adopted Deutsche Telekom's browser-based Business GPT as a secure enterprise interface for generative AI use across its workforce. The application is hosted in European cloud environments and was tested for IT security and data protection so UKA staff can enter company data securely from all end devices while keeping data control under GDPR and German law. Business GPT provides the user-facing layer through UKA's own intranet and corporate design, and it supports integration of internal company documents to ground employee queries and daily knowledge work. For model execution, the solution uses Microsoft Azure OpenAI Services in a shielded area, specifically exposing GPT 3.5 and GPT 4.0 models for multilingual research, information procurement, and content creation. Telekom MMS operates the deployment, combining secure access, model availability, and enterprise controls so UKA can move from AI business case to productive usage quickly.
UKA employees access Business GPT through the company intranet on their end devices, submit prompts and company data, and optionally work with internal company documents. Business GPT routes requests into a shielded Microsoft Azure OpenAI Services environment in Europe, where GPT 3.5 or GPT 4.0 generates responses that are returned to employees through the browser-based interface.

"Thanks to secure operation on cloud environments in Europe, companies can use the GPT 3.5 and GPT 4.0 models from Microsoft Azure OpenAI Services in a shielded area."
"The UKA Group now has access to a secure, data protection-compliant tool for generative AI."
"The browser-based Business GPT can be accessed at UKA via the company’s own intranet, complete with the company’s own corporate design."
