Data Science-as-a-Service as an innovation boost for SMEs:
Data-based innovation determines market share and future viability.
However, SMEs face a number of hurdles that need to be overcome:
Recruiting dilemma: Building your own data team takes an average of 12-18 months – valuable time during which competitors gain market share
Team structure: Successful data science teams comprise various specialists – from data engineers and ML experts to MLOps. One person alone can hardly fulfil these requirements.
Cost efficiency: High fixed costs for infrastructure and personnel are offset by an unclear capacity utilisation perspective – particularly critical in times of budget restrictions and a lack of planning horizon
Project complexity: Data and AI projects require specialised expertise and experience in project management – skills that are often not available in-house
What counts is speed and flexibility. Now more than ever!
Outsource your data-driven research and development – with R&D-as-a-Service.
Flexible. Results-orientated. Ready for immediate use.

How it works
Problem definition and target development
In preparation for the potential analysis, we jointly define the objectives and feasibility of the project. We ensure the technical pre-qualification and take a close look at the infrastructure. Stakeholder groups and business processes.
Data access & potential analysis
Once we have the data, let’s get started! The next step is to check the quality and scope of the data and its potential for modelling and using methods in line with the objective. At the same time, we develop a suitable technical solution for later utilisation and coordinate application scenarios and UX with the respective specialist users.
Concept and realisation phase
In this phase, the ‘doing’ shifts from the data (science) team towards software engineering and integration. Whether prototyping, design, development or testing of the models, everything is realised end-to-end and prepared for robust operation.
Handover or operation
The AI-based product is ready. Now you decide whether you would like us to continue operating the whole thing in-house or externally by us..
Your benefits:
- Fast operational readiness: Project start without recruiting delays
- Faster time-to-value: Onboarding and PoC in 3 months; fast, low-risk testing of data-based innovation ideas – with tangible results instead of endless PowerPoint rodeos.
- Maximum flexibility: Booking from 1 FTE, can be cancelled monthly and scaled as required, no over- or under-utilisation
- Expert skill mix: End-to-end expertise / full-service data science team of senior-level experts with a scientific background and business mindset
