BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

As a Management Consultant Company with the main focus on Data and Analytics we support our customers around the topics of new disruptive technologies, data, digitalization and thought management.

I founded re:data in 2015 in Switzerland to help customers smartly use data that is in need of analysis and combine it with the customers desire to make an impact with it's business.

By smartly combining data we help our customers to understand trends and ideas that can be found in their data. This enables them to find the added value urgently needed.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire MindCraft?

We needed to have a dedicated team to extend our Artificial Intelligence capabilities with both the overall architecture definition and development. Our customer had an urgent regulatory compliance issue and in the pre-project discussions we agreed on a possible and suitable roadmap to tackle this.

What were your goals for this project?

integration of a Convolutional Neural Network with a user friendly frontend (developed by another dedicated service provider) to detect sensitive data in a wide range of files and services.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

we specifically were looking for a specialised AI provider in western Ukraine to build up a strong and long term partnership.

Before committing we have met in person with the Mindcraft Team and have commonly build up the strategy how to get the team involved in the best way possible.

After having spent in workshop style several parts of days with the team it was clear that the way of thinking, working and partnership was exactly what we were looking for.

Describe the project in detail.

the project (MVP) consisted of 3 months - divided into 2 weeks sprints.

As the cooperation on our side was based on 3 working parts (our local team, Mindcraft and a 3rd provider responsible for the frontend and integration) we decided initially to work in parallel and have team specific sprint- and status-meetings.

As soon as the components came close to full integration we decided to combine the meetings and integrate the development efforts.

Mindcraft has shown their brilliant capabilities and knowhow - even in difficult circumstances of development - as access to the end-customer was limited. They came up with creative but effective solutions and approaches to reach the project goals.

What was the team composition?

our local team in Switzerland consisted of a Project Manager, a Business Analyst (and Ukrainian Language Liaison for possible communication challenges due to the different native languages), an AI specialist and an technical architect.

The Mindcraft team consisted of 4 AI specialists and a Project Officer. For the front-end development we had a local PM and 2 developers and a software tester).

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The Mindcraft team was able to come with alternative, creative but effective approaches to bring the project to a successful ending. Many future capabilities and possible approaches to reach even higher success rates have already been discussed for a V2 of the delivered product.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication with Mindcraft is very easy. Jira, Confluence, Email, Slack, Zoom and other tools were actively used - Answers to questions or concerns came back very fast. The full team is capable of communicating in English on a very high level - both in speaking and understanding.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

We discussed, they offered and over-delivered. Impressive.
