Difference between product companies and consultancies
A product company suits you best when you want a standardised solution for a recurring problem. A consultancy suits you when the solution needs to be built into your own processes, systems and security requirements.
How Swedish companies should evaluate AI vendors
- Implementation: does the vendor build production-grade solutions, or only prototypes.
- Integration: how deep do they go into your systems, or do they stop at a demo environment.
- Security: GDPR, information security, data storage and the supplier chain.
- Ongoing management: what happens after go-live, is there an SLA and further development.
- Business understanding: can they talk about impact on your key metrics, not just technology.
