Together with CHEFS VALUE by CHEFS CULINAR Software und Consulting GmbH, a subsidiary of CHEFS CULINAR, mgm technology partners built AIVI Smart Cuisine 100 percent agentically, from architecture all the way to operations.

A department can define its AI requirements in a single afternoon. In the past, that would have taken weeks. Nevertheless, these needs won’t be prioritized until the next Portfolio Board meeting, which is held only once a quarter. Many companies are currently experiencing the same thing: AI speeds up individual work steps, but not the organization as a whole. The bottleneck shifts from development to coordination, handoffs, and decision-making.

What happens when an AI coding agent suddenly gains access to every password in the company? The new ESACA sandbox prevents exactly that, and it does so in a way that keeps the secret hidden even from the agent itself. A look at the technology behind it, based on a real project example from practice.

For years, companies looking to cut the cost of their SAP development had an obvious answer: near- or offshoring. The logic was simple. If an hour of development is significantly cheaper at another location, direct development costs go down. So software development increasingly moved to wherever developers were available at lower cost. AI-powered SAP development is changing that math.

ESACA was at the center of a breakout session at the 2026 Fsas Technologies Summit, presented by Dr. Jan Jikeli, Head of Artificial Intelligence at MGM. In his talk, Dr. Jikeli showed how critical infrastructure companies and public authorities can use agentic coding without sensitive data leaving their data centers.

What if front-end migration took days instead of months? In an internal pilot project, MGM used agentic coding to complete a full front-end replacement with just one developer instead of an entire team. Take a closer look at the pipeline, the effort, and the results.

On June 12, 2026, Anthropic shut down its most powerful AI models for all non-Americans, acting on orders from the Trump administration. This was a wake-up call for Europe: digital sovereignty in AI is no longer a political option, but a business imperative. Jan Jikeli, the head of AI at mgm technology partners, explains what this means and why ESACA is the answer.

mgm technology partners and Fsas Technologies are joining forces in the new ESACA cooperation – a sovereign on-premise solution for AI-powered programming in security-critical environments where code and data must not leave the organization's own data center.

AI-assisted code generation promises speed — but without clear architectural boundaries, the result is risk, not results. Generated code isn't inherently secure, maintainable, or testable. What matters is the framework it's produced in: precise architectural constraints limit what's possible so that entire classes of errors are structurally eliminated. How this works in practice — and why A12 acts as a safety net.

Agentic coding promises drastically faster software development—but without adapting the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), organizations risk quality degradation and integration chaos. Why the V-Model is making a surprising comeback in the age of agentic development, and how quality gates, traceability, and a new understanding of engineering make all the difference.
