Question 1

What's included in an AI and Data Strategy engagement?

Accepted Answer

An AI and Data Strategy engagement includes a strategic data assessment and maturity model, data governance and operating model design, technology stack evaluation and selection, and change management planning. The goal is to align your data assets directly to your AI strategy with a plan your team can execute.

Question 2

What is the difference between AI Development and Advanced Analytics?

Accepted Answer

AI Development focuses on building production-ready AI agents, chatbots, voice AI, and multi-agent orchestration systems that automate workflows. Advanced Analytics & ML covers predictive modelling, forecasting, customer segmentation, recommendation engines, NLP, computer vision, and MLOps. AI Development builds intelligent systems; Advanced Analytics extracts insights and predictions from data.

Question 3

How does the AgileData platform compare to building your own?

Accepted Answer

The AgileData platform is a managed cloud data platform built for lean internal data teams, where building and running your own data platform isn't feasible or strategically sensible. It includes the context layer, AI assistant, dashboards, real-time alerting, and automated data quality your team would otherwise have to build on top of a lakehouse. Production-ready in two weeks instead of the six to twelve months a greenfield build takes. You buy a finished platform instead of staffing one.

Question 4

What does a Forward Deployed Engineer do?

Accepted Answer

A Forward Deployed Engineer is an AI-native engineer placed inside your organisation for a fixed engagement. They run the full engagement lifecycle: scoping, analysis, build, testing, and deployment. They use Beyond Data's standard AI engineering stack, and when the engagement ends you have a production-grade AI system with full documentation and an ongoing support path if you want one.

Question 5

How does the AI Leadership service work?

Accepted Answer

The AI Leadership service provides embedded senior AI leadership on a part-time basis, typically 1–2 days per fortnight. This includes executive AI strategy and vision setting, initiative prioritisation, cross-functional team mentoring, and vendor evaluation, without the cost of a full-time hire.
