Philip Zellweger
Lead Engineer Data Science & AI
"Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI) these days. Nevertheless, the topic is still not sufficiently concrete for many companies. The realisation of AI-supported solutions requires skills and competencies that are not available in many companies. With state-of-the-art software engineering combined with our many years of consulting experience, our data science & AI team develops innovative solutions."
Patrick Zellweger
Lead Engineer Data Science & AI
"The business and optimisation potential through the use of data science & AI is only partially addressed in most companies. Many companies are not aware of the existing potential that arises from existing data and the use of state-of-the-art technologies and algorithms. Our data science & AI team supports companies in monetising this potential."
