featuresHow Fontys ICT built an institutional AI platform with a gateway architecturehttps://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/
featuresFontys ICT shares how it built a governed, multi-provider AI platform using a gateway architecture to ensure equitable access, EU compliance, and cost control.https://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/
featuresAs generative AI became a foundational technology across education and research, Fontys ICT set out to answer a specific question, Can a university of applied sciences offer advanced AI capabilities on its own terms, with fair access for all students and staff, transparent risks, controlled costs, and full alignment with European law?https://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/
featuresTo explore this, Fontys ICT designed and operated an institutional AI platform as a six-month pilot involving around 300 users. The goal was not to replace commercial innovation, but to create a governed, multi-provider AI environment that the institution itself could understand, control, and stand behind.https://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/
features> Fontys ICT has published a **detailed whitepaper** documenting this work. The report walks through the platform architecture, operational decisions, and governance learnings from running an institutional AI platform in practice.https://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/
featuresAt the same time, institutional visibility eroded. AI tools were selected individually, APIs were integrated informally into assignments and projects, and data processing locations varied by provider. This made it difficult to understand where data was being processed, under which terms, and with what long-term implications for privacy and compliance.https://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/
featuresFinally, there was a pedagogical gap. Consumer-facing AI tools abstract away system behavior, model differences, and operational trade-offs. For an ICT-focused institution, this meant students were using powerful systems without visibility into how those systems are governed, evaluated, or integrated in professional environments.https://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/

featuresThe solution: a gateway-based AI platformhttps://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/
featuresFontys ICT designed its institutional AI platform around a simple principle: separate user experience, governance, and model providers, so each can evolve independently without compromising institutional control.https://portkey.ai/blog/how-fontys-ict-built-an-institutional-ai-platform-with-a-gateway-architecture/
