* Data-Driven Business Models: Meet-an-Expert Sessions

New offering for members: distinct meet-an-expert sessions, where you are able to meet an expert to discuss emerging questions in the realm of “Data-driven Business Models”. D ONE and the Institute of Technology Management (University of St. Gallen) are offering each two slots of about 30 minutes to discuss problems and provide first hints or propositions to solve these. The sessions will take place from 15.30 – 16.30 before the Expert-group event.

To reserve one of these slots, please contact Patrick Buck (patrick.buck@d-one.ai) of D ONE or Philipp Osterrieder (philipp.osterrieder@unisg.ch) from the University of St. Gallen with a brief summary of your situation and problem. You may choose your favorite expert, or we assign the one with the best fit to your question.

Do not hesitate to reach us through mail or telephone and profit from the possibility to meet an expert as part of the Data+Service Alliance. However, be aware that only four slots are available, therefore, first come first serve.

General Assembly

The General Assembly 2019 of the Data+Service Alliance will take place on October 02, 2019 at FHNW campus, Riggenbachstrasse 16 (ORI), CH-4600 Olten. More details will follow in the next months.

The GA is co-located with the Match-Making event, which takes place earlier in the afternoon.

Use-Case Talk Series – Rapid Prototyping

In collaboration with Aspaara Algorithmic Solutions

Rapid Prototyping! We share stories and insights about frameworks, best practices and tools in software prototyping. Rapid prototyping cares less about planning and more about an adaptive process. It is used when design specifications are not known in the beginning.

The Use-Case Talks Series will take place in TECHNOPARK® Zürich on 31.10.2019 at 18:00.

The Use-Case Talk Series is organized by Aspaara Algorithmic Solutions AG on behalf of Swiss Alliance for Data-Intensive Services.

Participation is free of charge — interesting discussions at the networking Apéro are included!

For registration please write an email (Name, affiliation and position) to info.office@data-service-alliance.ch. The number of places is limited!

• 18:00 Introduction Alexander Grimm, PhD, CEO Aspaara Algorithmic Solutions AG

• 18:15 Use-Case Talk 1: Data Science Prototyping: What can be done in 3 weeks? Nitin Kumar, COO Propulsion Academy Zürich

Talk 1: Is fair benchmarking possible?

Abstract: Benchmarking is both a curse and a blessing: on the one hand it is essential to assess its own position compared to those of the competitors, on the other hand benchmarking is also used to set target in order to increase productivity and efficiency. In my presentation I will show a quantitative method how to make fair comparisons to identify best practice and how to avoid unrealistic targets that can otherwise lead to demotivation and lower productivity.

Speaker: Thomas Herrmann studied mathematics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and subsequently worked intensively on timetable creation and new operational possibilities in the field of traffic management for railways during his dissertation. Thereafter, he worked in the private sector for more than 12 years until summer 2018. During this time he conducted several studies in the field of infrastructure management for roads and railways, including benchmarking. Now he is a lecturer at ZHAW, at the Institute for Data Analysis and Process Design (IDP).

Talk 2: Learning from the data science trenches

Abstract: Delivering data science projects is top of mind for many organizations. But how do you ensure that projects are successful and what should you be cautious about? Come to this talk to hear from Marc Schöni about this.

Speaker: Marc Schöni holds a Master’s degree in Data Science and works as a Technical Specialist for AI & Advanced Analytics with Microsoft in Switzerland. On a daily basis, he engages with customers to help them identify suitable first use cases and the most appropriate technologies for successful implementation.
