Artificial Intelligence for SMEs: How Swiss Companies Can Start Without an In-House AI Team
AI delivers measurable results – even without internal specialists. The key: clear focus and a partner who knows how to execute.
Many SMEs in Switzerland already have valuable data, well-established processes, and deep industry knowledge – ideal conditions for applying AI. Yet, many companies hesitate due to limited internal resources or technical uncertainty.
The good news: You don’t need an in-house data science team to succeed with AI.
What you do need is a partner who:
- understands the unique challenges of mid-sized businesses,
- reduces technical complexity rather than adding to it,
- and puts the focus squarely on business value.
Step-by-Step Entry Into AI – Without Internal Experts
Deep Impact has been supporting Swiss SMEs for years in launching successful AI projects. Our structured, agile approach allows for a realistic, scalable start:
1. Use Case Workshop
We identify specific, business-relevant applications – e.g., automated document analysis, intelligent classification, or process optimisation.
2. Proof of Concept – In Days, Not Months
A working prototype provides rapid clarity on feasibility and potential value. Early insights lead to better decisions.
3. Seamless Integration Into Existing Systems
The solution is integrated without disrupting operations – scalable, maintainable, and without diving into technical unknowns.
4. Operation & Continuous Development
If desired, we provide long-term support – including monitoring, technical support, and iterative improvements.
Design sprints and internal AI hackathons ensure rapid validation and internal know-how transfer.
Gaining a Tech Advantage Is a Choice – Not a Resource Question
Our experience shows: Companies that take the leap often see measurable benefits within weeks, including:
- faster workflows
- fewer errors
- data-driven decision-making
For SMEs in particular, this can create a sustainable competitive advantage that others will find hard to match.
