The acceleration of change in the corporate environment underscores the urgency of shifting to a more dynamic talent and work model for the long term. On the agenda of many company’s executives is the challenge of structuring their analytics organisation, the required changes to the processes and systems as well as the need to develop a flexible workforce to drive and sustain our analytics investments.

We identified a number of practices to enable integrated systems, processes and synergistic operating models that help to bring focus and maximize return on investment with clear attribution.

Our Managed Analytics offering supports the operations and enhancement of traditional data warehouses and next generation data lakes, along with their related applications and platforms. We provide flexible, long-term, staffing models that allow us to optimize the data life cycle, put data in the hands of decision makers faster, and drive enhanced analytics insights.

To strengthen your organisation’s agility, you should consider the following four Managed Analytics building blocks:

• Analytics Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Analytics Platforms are constructed of market-ready, commercial-grade technology assets, and a diverse ecosystem of specialized services and capabilities.
• Analytics Solution as a Service (SaaS) - We offer productized, cloud-based, end-to-end analytics solutions including assisting services to solve domain and/or industry specific needs
• Analytics Center of Excellence (CoE) - The Analytics CoE is a capacity of Analytics experts which can be assessed on demand to establish, identify, develop, and harness cross-functional processes, knowledge, and expertise that have tangible benefits for the business.
• Analytics Insights as a Service (IaaS) Insights as a service refers to a cloud-based service that provides insights to business corporations and also aids in providing the concrete steps that are required to leverage these insights towards achieving business goals.

As the field of analytics matures, many business leaders are beginning to reap the benefits without making large upfront investments in time and resources by leveraging Managed Analytics. Managed Analytics is an opportunity. Transforming the Analytics function from the ground up starts by transforming both business and technology to progressively unlock the full-potential of your data – going from data to insights.

Each value proposition offered within our Swiss Analytics & Cognitive team can empower your business on its own. But they reach their full potential when they are deployed alongside each other and thus enable your full growth potential by leveraging AI and data to modernise existing and/or build new viable products and services.

This is of great value for you who may be looking for possible improvements in productivity and efficiency. But it also is likely to introduce a significant amount of change in a short amount of time. The investment in next generation analytic platforms and solutions will likely play a big role in the move from traditional business value creation to AI- and innovation-driven value creation. And the journey is just beginning. While synergistic effects are clearly in focus, the aggregation of data through emerging technologies leads to cognitive learning and ultimately very powerful analytics. If you want to know more about how to get your organization on the path to collaborating with industry experts to deliver state of the art solutions, we can help.
