// about us

We know what
it means to protect
sensitive data.

vtezero is the platform from vtenext, an Italian benefit corporation delivering CRM projects for large organisations. What we have learned managing their most sensitive data, we now apply to AI agents.

// our origins

From CRM projects to agent governance.

vtezero was born at vtenext, an Italian benefit corporation developing an open-source CRM with a native BPM engine: over 2,000 business customers, more than 100 partners, and offices in Verona, Milan and London.

We deliver CRM projects for very large organisations. In these projects, customer data, often sensitive, flows across departments, roles and systems. Defining who can see what, and being able to prove it, is part of our daily work.

When we brought agentic AI into CRM, with the Kitt assistant, configurable agents and MCP tools, we asked our usual question: who accesses this data, on whose behalf, and who is accountable?

vtezero is the answer, taken beyond CRM: a platform to govern AI agents across the entire organisation, including those who do not use vtenext.

// what it taught us

With sensitive data,
there is no room for improvisation.

In a large CRM project, many people work with the same data, with different roles and responsibilities. Not everyone should see everything, and every access must have a reason.

That is why, in our projects, roles, permissions and processes come before features. It is a discipline learned in the field, one project at a time.

An AI agent reading and writing business data raises the same issue, with one difference: it works faster and across more systems. The same discipline is needed, applied from the outset.

People
Who accesses the data
In CRM projects, each person sees and edits only what their role allows.
Processes
Within which workflow
Every data operation takes place within a defined process, with clear steps and responsibilities.

// four lessons from CRM projects

What applies to people applies to agents.

01 — Permissions

Not everyone sees everything

Data access follows the role. An agent works with the permissions of the person it represents, not those of an administrator.

02 — Processes

Every piece of data has a path

The process determines who touches it, when and why. The same applies to an agent: it acts when the process invokes it.

03 — Accountability

Someone is accountable

A person decides at sensitive steps. The agent prepares and proposes; the human checkpoint approves.

04 — Evidence

Being able to prove it

Doing things well is not enough: you must be able to show it to a customer or in an audit. Every activity remains traceable.

// benefit corporation

Responsible by our statutes,
not just by slogan.

vtenext is an Italian benefit corporation: alongside profit, it commits to operating responsibly, sustainably and transparently towards the people and communities it works with. In our business, this has a very concrete meaning.

Accountability

The data you entrust to us is not ours.

Behind every piece of data is a person: our customer's customer. We handle it with the rules and care it deserves, and we expect the same from agents.

Transparency

No black boxes.

With vtezero, you see what agents and processes do in real time. And vtenext is open source: its code can be inspected.

People

AI in service of people at work.

Agents take on the work; decisions that matter stay with people. That is why every process has its checkpoints.

// our principles

How we work.

We do not compete to build smarter agents. We work so that companies can adopt them safely.

01 — Process first

The process first, then the agent.

An agent is useful when its place is clear. We start from the processes a company already knows and controls, and find the right place for AI within them.

02 — People at the centre

Control stays with people.

Human oversight is not a brake: it is what allows real work to be entrusted to agents. Every process has its checkpoints.

03 — Native compliance

Compliance is not added afterwards.

GDPR and the AI Act are design requirements. We treat them as such from the very first connection.

04 — European by choice

Data sovereignty is non-negotiable.

We are a European platform, built for companies handling European customers' data. For us, that is a starting point.

05 — From large companies to everyone

The discipline of large projects, for growing organisations.

We bring what we have developed with very large customers to mid-sized organisations, often overlooked by major global vendors, with fast deployment times.

06 — Honest AI

AI does not solve everything. We say so clearly.

We do not sell AI as a magic wand. There are tasks an agent handles well and decisions that must stay with a person. The process helps distinguish them.
