Partnerships

Partnering with LYN Intelligence

LYN Intelligence complements technology providers and implementation service providers with specialized consulting in AI and data strategy.

Target group

Two clearly defined
partner models

We work exclusively with technology providers and implementation service providers whose service portfolio requires our functional complement in strategy and data architecture.

Model A · Technology partner Providers of BI, data and cloud platforms who need strategic pre-sales support.

You are responsible for platform sales. LYN Intelligence complements the sales phase with strategy consulting, use-case definition and data modeling that make the economic benefit of your platform concrete for the end customer.

Typical constellation

  • Provider of BI, data warehouse or cloud infrastructure
  • Sales processes stall in the use-case phase
  • Need for independent strategy consulting in pre-sales
Model B · Implementation partner Agencies and IT service providers with established delivery expertise who need strategy on demand.

You are responsible for implementation, change management and operations. LYN Intelligence takes on strategy, use-case prioritization and data architecture as a clearly scoped workstream within the shared engagement.

Typical constellation

  • Strong profile in delivery, less depth in strategy
  • Growing client demand for AI roadmaps
  • Need for functional sparring in complex pre-sales phases
Engagement models

Co-selling or
co-delivery

The choice of model depends on the maturity of your sales and delivery processes, as well as the role you take on with your end customer.

Co-selling Strategic support for your pre-sales phase.

We deliver strategy workshops, use-case analyses and architecture sketches as part of your sales processes. The client relationship stays fully with you. Fees are based on day rates.

Suitable when

  • You already have platform or software sales in place
  • Sales cycles are extended by strategic questions
  • You need an independent functional perspective
Co-delivery A shared delivery engagement with clearly scoped workstreams.

LYN Intelligence is responsible for the strategy, data architecture and AI development workstreams. You are responsible for system integration and operations. Fees per workstream, either fixed price or day-rate based.

Suitable when

  • The engagement has both a strategy and a delivery component
  • Scope and responsibilities can be clearly defined
  • You need consolidated delivery ownership per workstream
Approach

Four steps to
a framework agreement

A partnership starts with a clearly scoped pilot engagement. Only after solid functional validation does the written framework agreement follow.

1

Exploratory conversation

A structured conversation about your client portfolio, delivery processes and relevant topic areas. Definition of the touchpoints for a possible collaboration. Duration: 60 minutes.

2

Pilot engagement

A concrete client project in the chosen model. Defined scope, clearly assigned roles, four to eight weeks in duration. The goal is functional validation of the collaboration on a real engagement.

3

Framework agreement

A written agreement on the engagement model, fee structure, confidentiality and use of work products. No exclusivity clauses and no minimum revenue commitments.

4

Ongoing collaboration

Quarterly reviews, joint pre-sales sessions as needed, documented engagements that both sides can reference after completion.

Governance

Contractual and
operational framework

A reliable partnership requires clearly defined responsibilities, binding confidentiality and a defined approach to handling work products.

Confidentiality

A mutual confidentiality agreement before every functional session. Standard term of three years. Partners and end customers are referenced only after written approval.

Fee structure

Day-rate based or workstream-based fees. Fixed prices for clearly scoped work. No success-based fees, no referral fees.

Use of results

Ownership and usage rights are agreed in writing per engagement. Our methodology and pre-existing frameworks remain with LYN Intelligence.

Data protection

Personal and sensitive data is processed in accordance with GDPR and a data processing agreement. Data is processed in EU regions. Documented technical and organizational measures.

Value proposition

Value delivered
to partners

A partnership with LYN Intelligence makes sense when access to specialized consulting is more economical than building your own AI practice.

Consulting depth without the ramp-up time

Access to specialized consulting with proven industry experience, without spending years building your own strategy and data architecture teams.

An expanded sales basis

Addressing strategic questions in pre-sales phases where platform or implementation arguments alone are not enough.

Industry experience as a differentiator

Deep knowledge of production environments, ERP landscapes and operational safety requirements. A consulting language that resonates in industrial settings.

Clear separation of roles

The client relationship, implementation responsibility and sales ownership stay fully with you. LYN Intelligence operates exclusively within the defined consulting scope.

Frequently asked questions

About the partnership

Specific questions about working together. General information about LYN consulting can be found on the homepage.

How is the fee structure set up?

In the co-selling model, billing is day-rate based for consulting and workshop services. In the co-delivery model, fees are charged per workstream, either as a fixed price for a clearly scoped engagement or on a day-rate basis. Success fees or referral fees are excluded.

How are branding and client communication handled?

The standard model is co-branding. The partner is responsible for the client relationship, and LYN Intelligence appears openly as a specialized consulting partner for strategy and data architecture. Engaging us as a subcontractor is possible on explicit request, provided transparency toward the end customer is maintained.

How is confidentiality handled?

A mutual confidentiality agreement is signed before every pre-sales session, with a standard term of three years. Data from end customers is processed in EU regions on the basis of a data processing agreement.

Are there minimum commitments or revenue obligations?

No. Pilot engagements start from an effort of four consulting days. There is no quarterly or annual minimum revenue commitment.

How is competition and exclusivity handled?

We do not offer exclusivity clauses at the industry or region level. Within a specific client engagement, there is of course no parallel collaboration with directly competing providers.

What response time can I expect after an inquiry?

You will receive a substantive response within two business days. If there is a topical fit, a 60-minute exploratory conversation is scheduled afterward.
