FAQ - BI & AI strategy for Swiss companies
What does a modern BI strategy actually involve?
A BI strategy defines how business data is collected, processed and made usable for decisions - including governance, data model, role allocation and tool selection. We anchor reporting and analysis where they work: in day-to-day business. BI & AI strategy
What is the difference between an AI strategy?
The AI strategy is aimed at the use of artificial intelligence - e.g. for text automation, forecasts or pattern recognition. It provides answers: Which use cases make sense? Which data is suitable? And how are risks (e.g. data protection) controlled? Digitalization & automation
Why is a tool introduction like Power BI alone not enough?
Without a clear strategy, Power BI quickly becomes a patchwork quilt. It needs rules for modeling, authorization, self-service and goal setting. We accompany the introduction not only technically, but also strategically - tailored to the structure and culture of your organization. Microsoft Power BI
How does Data Minds develop a data strategy?
We start with interactive workshops at your premises or at our offices in Baden/Zurich. Together, we analyze your goals, data landscape and existing tools. This results in a targeted roadmap that clearly maps priorities, technology paths and roles. Chief Data/AI Officer as a Service
How long does it take to develop a BI/AI strategy?
Usually 4 to 6 weeks - depending on the scope. For SMEs, we recommend a compact strategy sprint to create clarity quickly. If required, we can also support the subsequent implementation over several months.
Does a data strategy also make sense for smaller companies?
SMEs without a data team in particular benefit from a clear framework. The strategy helps to deploy resources in a targeted manner, clarify responsibility for data and avoid frictional losses in projects later on - whether with Power BI, Microsoft Fabric or Azure.
Which technologies do you take into account when developing your strategy?
We think in terms of technology, but work with in-depth experience in Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks and Azure Cloud. Recommendations are based on use cases, not marketing.
Can we integrate existing projects into the strategy?
Yes, we analyze current or planned projects and compare them with the strategic objectives. Existing initiatives - e.g. Excel evaluations or dashboards - can often be converted into a consistent target picture. Data analytics & reporting
Do you also support the implementation of the strategy?
Yes, we provide support in selecting tools, setting up the data platform, defining KPI models and selecting partners. On request, we can also provide tender support. Tender support, data platform
How can I check whether my company needs a strategy?
If data projects repeatedly stall, reports from different sources are contradictory or new tools are to be introduced - then it's worth taking stock. We offer a free orientation meeting in Baden, Zurich or online.
