German-Ukrainian SME specialised in AI and data science looking for outsourcing agreement

The company was originally set-up in Ukraine in 2007 as a software development company. Its particular expertise is AI and data science. The service portfolio includes computer vision, activity tracking, natural language processing, audio analysis, predictive analytics / maintenance. The company has already proven its expertise through developing numerous applications in multiple sectors so divers as food/agritech, sports healthcare or real estate. It currently employs more than 100 staff. The company is looking for partners for long-term outsourcing agreements because the company has identified this as the most appropriate type of cooperation to reach its goals: Not only can collaboration be established with partners from different sectors on a long-term basis. Also, providing services on a long-term basis allows the company to build up knowledge about the changing production and business model trends, related ICT challenges and requirements of partners in a specific sector. In addition, collaboration over a longer period rather than providing one-off services enables the company to identify and develop solutions in one sector which can then be replicated to other services. Thus, through the delivery of its expertise in an outsourcing agreement the company can build up industry and AI/data science application knowledge across multiple branches. The companies data science team covers in particular sensor data processing, computer vision, natural language processing and sound recognition. It develops machine learning algorithms in order to turn big data into meaningful information. Upon the partners business needs this includes: - Data researching, modelling and pattern detection - Data collection, management and analyses - Building and maintaining infrastructures including high performance computing The company already has clients in several European countries but would like to offer its expertise also in other countries. Against the background of ever faster growing potential of AI/data sciene, the company wishes to develop and introduce new solutions also to sectors where AI/data science applications are still on a fairly low level and where thus is scope to come up with many new innovative solutions. The target partners sought are SMEs and young companies/start-ups which need a partner with the latest broad AI/data science knowledge. Outsourcing AI and data management allows the partner to complement and extend flexibly the core team, both regarding the staff resources and the type of needed AI/data science activities and to decrease costs. The company offers an outsourcing partnership either for very small, highly specialised AI/data science functions and processes or bigger and more comprehensive ones. Practically, based on the partner’s initial requirements and service level definition, both partners will negotiate and agree on the process of the functions to be outsourced, pricing and other key topics and eventually sign the contract. Then follows a phased approach of implementation.
