What we said about each
Our take on DEUS
The ABN AMRO work is the reason to look here: a voice AI system handling customer service calls autonomously, including caller identification, alongside a conversational search layer that merged the bank's help and search into one interface. Shell's global data marketplace is the platform counterpart—a data mesh with more than seventy new services created on it—and the RTL engagement produced an AI playbook that identified over fifty opportunities across departments. That range, from autonomous…

The impact studies are the most consistently quantified set in the register: Eneco's personalized engagement platform delivering recommendations to two million households automatically, a pricing engagement reporting an 11% profit increase, and clinical-trial site selection that widened the eligible patient pool by 40% and picked fifteen sites contributing a quarter of the enrollment target. Named clients run to bol. com, ABN AMRO, Rabobank, Eneco, Heineken, KPN and NS, though the deeper…

Choose Rewire if you need
- disclosed specialization in Healthcare / E-commerce
- broader service offering — also covers Generative AI
- a higher overall editorial score
Strengths and watch-outs
Both upsides and risks, straight from our editorial assessments.
DEUS
Strengths
- Autonomous voice handling deployed inside a Dutch bank—among the highest-scrutiny environments for conversational AI
- Both ends of the problem are evidenced: the customer-facing system and the data platform beneath it
- Human-centered design is a stated method, and the published work reflects it rather than only claiming it
Watch-outs
- Founded 2020, so the track record is shorter than the client names suggest—ask who leads delivery
- Outcome figures appear on the platform work but not on the voice systems; ask for containment and escalation rates
Rewire
Strengths
- Publishes outcome numbers on most engagements, including profit and forecast-accuracy figures rather than adoption metrics
- The Eneco platform is running unattended at two-million-household scale, which is a rare thing to be able to check
- In-house academy means the capability can stay with your team rather than leaving with the consultants
Watch-outs
- The most detailed studies anonymize the client by sector—ask for a reference in yours before committing
- No published rates; anchor with the EU €100-200/h band and expect program-scale pricing
