CompanyGPT vs. Telekom Business GPT: Enterprise AI Compared 2026

Introduction: Corporate Solution or Agile Specialist?

When companies in Germany look for a secure AI platform, one well-known name frequently appears on the shortlist: Telekom Business GPT. Deutsche Telekom MMS promises “AI Innovation Made in Germany” – and the Telekom brand inspires trust. But is the Telekom seal alone a sufficient decision criterion?

As of June 2026 – checked against official Telekom sources in June 2026; the most recent officially dated product information partly dates from 2024, the provider’s current information is authoritative.

Summary: CompanyGPT from innFactory AI Consulting builds companies their own AI infrastructure on an open-source basis (LibreChat) within their cloud subscription – multi-cloud capable (Azure, AWS, GCP, STACKIT), without per-user licenses, and with cloud costs at the cloud provider’s list price, with no markup added by innFactory. Telekom Business GPT is a proprietary SaaS solution from Telekom MMS with package pricing (packages with a minimum user count, entry from 50 users) and a primary Azure basis. CompanyGPT additionally offers Office file editing, SharePoint integration, a built-in translation service, n8n workflows, MCP extensibility, and AI compliance consulting with a specialist lawyer.

The Providers at a Glance

Telekom Business GPT (Telekom MMS)

Telekom Business GPT is an enterprise AI solution from Deutsche Telekom (implemented in part by Telekom MMS). It runs in a Microsoft Azure environment specifically secured for Deutsche Telekom and hosted in Europe, and offers — depending on the package — an LLM-based AI chatbot, a prompt library, function calling, assistants, and, in the larger package, RAG with document access and an admin/role concept. Deutsche Telekom’s PSA process (Privacy and Security Assessment) serves as its security credential.

CompanyGPT from innFactory AI Consulting

CompanyGPT is the enterprise AI platform from innFactory AI Consulting GmbH. Instead of a SaaS solution, companies receive their own AI infrastructure built on open-source components like LibreChat. As a partner of Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, and STACKIT, innFactory AI Consulting offers true multi-cloud flexibility – with hosting at cloud provider list prices and no markups.

Comparison Table: CompanyGPT vs. Telekom Business GPT

The Decisive Differences in Detail

1. Agile Specialist vs. Corporate Apparatus

Telekom MMS is a company with thousands of employees and corporate structures. That brings stability, but also longer decision paths and release cycles. Feature requests go through corporate processes, and prioritization follows the overall strategy of the Telekom group – not necessarily your needs.

innFactory AI Consulting is an agile specialist with a team of over 30. Thanks to the open-source foundation of LibreChat, you benefit from the innovation speed of a global community. New features, models, and integrations are available within days or weeks – not quarters. And custom adaptations can be implemented directly with the development team.

2. Multi-Cloud Freedom vs. Azure Lock-In

Telekom Business GPT is primarily based on Microsoft Azure. If your company pursues a different cloud strategy or requires German sovereignty for regulatory reasons, you will hit a wall.

CompanyGPT offers true multi-cloud flexibility:

• Microsoft Azure – for companies in the Microsoft ecosystem
• AWS – for AWS-centric IT landscapes
• Google Cloud – for GCP customers
• STACKIT – for maximum digital sovereignty on German infrastructure

As a partner of all four hyperscalers, innFactory AI Consulting provides hosting at list price with no markups.

3. Cost Structure: Transparency vs. Package Jungle

Telekom Business GPT is structured into packages with a minimum user count (entry from 50 users). Such per-user and package models scale with the number of users, and details remain open:

• What exactly is included in the smallest package – and what is not?
• What do the larger packages include?
• What additional costs arise for custom adaptations?
• How are token costs billed?

For concrete pricing, Telekom Business GPT refers to the vendor contact. That makes independent cost planning difficult.

CompanyGPT relies on a user-independent model:

• No per-user pricing model – whether 10 or 10,000 users
• Fixed-price / maintenance model including all addons, independent of user count
• Cloud and token costs at the cloud provider’s list price – with no markup added by innFactory
• No complicated package structures – pricing on the product page or on request

4. Office Files: Create, Not Just Consume

An area where CompanyGPT clearly goes beyond the Telekom solution: companyFILES enables the active creation and editing of Office files.

Imagine your employees using AI to:

• Generate quarterly reports as Word documents
• Create proposals in Word based on your templates
• Populate financial overviews as Excel spreadsheets
• Build client presentations as PowerPoint files

Telekom Business GPT supports summaries and analyses of documents. companyFILES goes further and additionally enables the active creation and editing of files directly in Office formats.

5. Workflow Automation: n8n and MCP as Game Changers

CompanyGPT can be connected to any external service via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Combined with optional n8n hosting (Community Edition or paid license), this creates a complete AI platform with:

• Automated workflows triggered directly from the AI
• Custom MCP services on Kubernetes
• Integration into existing enterprise systems

With Telekom Business GPT, integration into existing systems is typically handled through individual project work. CompanyGPT’s advantage: with n8n and MCP, workflow automation is available as an integrated, ready-to-use part of the platform – without a separate integration project.

6. AI Compliance: Legal Consulting Included

The EU AI Act presents companies with new compliance requirements. CompanyGPT delivers not only the technical platform but also an individual AI policy, developed with specialist IT law attorney Andreas Noerr. This policy can be expanded as part of the ongoing partnership.

Telekom MMS offers compliance consulting as a separate service through its Cyber Security & Privacy department – with its own contract and a separate point of contact. With CompanyGPT, the individual AI policy developed with a specialist lawyer is part of the overall package.

The analytics dashboard goes beyond simple usage reporting. It delivers concrete recommendations: which users should be trained? Which models and agents are used most? How is AI adoption developing?

Scaling from 10 to 12,000+ Users

While Telekom Business GPT requires a defined minimum number of users, CompanyGPT is available from just 10 users. At the same time, innFactory AI Consulting manages environments with over 12,000 users – so the solution grows with your company.

Conclusion: Agility and Transparency Beat Corporate Branding

CompanyGPT is the clear choice for companies that want to deploy AI strategically:

• True data sovereignty in your own cloud subscription
• Multi-cloud flexibility across Azure, AWS, GCP, and STACKIT
• Transparent costs without per-user licenses and package jungles
• Actively create and edit Office files with companyFILES
