AI solutions

AI Strategy, Not Hype.

Organizations are scaling AI faster than they can govern it. Infrastructure gets bought under pressure before success is defined, and unsanctioned AI is already running in most businesses. MALA helps you decide what to build, buy and govern, with no platform to sell.

The challenge

Most AI stalls between pilot and production.

01

Mismatched compute

Idle GPUs burning budget, or production starved for capacity.

02

Shadow AI

Unsanctioned tools inside licensed software and browsers.

03

Governance lag

Production AI without model risk, lineage or access controls.

04

Data control

Contracts that let vendors train on your data.

Our approach

From pilot to production, with cost checkpoints.

  1. 01

    Inventory

    Find the AI already in use, sanctioned or not.

  2. 02

    Assess

    Separate training, fine-tuning and inference needs.

  3. 03

    Decide

    Build vs. buy vs. cloud vs. sovereign.

  4. 04

    Govern

    Align to NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act and sector rules.

  5. 05

    Scale

    Phase the roadmap with cost checkpoints.

Where MALA helps

Right-sized, governed and ready for production.

AI strategy

Use cases prioritized against business value and readiness.

AI infrastructure

Capacity and platform matched to real workloads.

AI governance

Model risk, data lineage and access controls.

Shadow AI

Inventory, data access mapping and remediation by exposure.

Sovereign AI

Data, model, compute and operational control evaluated.

Workflow automation

Automation and AI agents with managed identities.

Agents and machine identities need access governance too: they now vastly outnumber human users.

Who it's for

Built for the people who own the decision.

  • CEO / OwnerA clear AI plan without building an in-house team.
  • CIO / CTOCompute and platforms matched to actual workloads.
  • CISO / RiskShadow AI and agent access brought under control.
  • CFOAI spend tied to cost checkpoints and real demand.
  • Regulated industriesSovereignty and audit trails for regulated decisions.
The MALA model

Unbiased. Vendor-sponsored.

Our services are sponsored through strategic referral agreements with 330+ technology solutions providers, never billed to you.

  • Unbiased recommendationsNo provider pays MALA more than another qualified provider, so your requirements drive the answer.
  • Paid only if you move forwardThe selected vendor compensates MALA, and only when you choose a recommended vendor.
  • No obligationYou are never required to move forward with any recommended vendor.
Common questions

What clients ask first.

Where should we start?

Usually with an inventory of the AI already in use, then a strategy that fits your data and risk.

What does sovereign AI mean for us?

Control over where data sits, who hosts the model, whose compute it runs on and what happens if the vendor relationship ends.

Why do AI pilots stall?

Pilot infrastructure rarely scales economically or operationally.

Do you sell an AI platform?

No. Recommendations are unbiased, and MALA is paid by the vendor only if you move forward.

The first step

Get a vendor-neutral read on AI. No obligation.

Talk with a senior advisor about AI strategy, governance or infrastructure. No obligation, no cost to you regardless of outcome.

Vendor-sponsored: MALA is paid by the vendor only if you move forward with a recommended vendor. No obligation to do so.
