Data and analytics consultancy in Hanover

Hanover sits in Lower Saxony, with an economy built on insurance and reinsurance, automotive and mobility, and industrial machinery and engineering. We deliver Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure work here remote-first, with on-site workshops at the points where being in the room changes the outcome, and we publish three local analyses rather than claiming an office we do not occupy.

Hanover analyses

Three local analyses

Each one takes the local sector mix seriously: the metrics that break here, the architecture those industries need, and the regulatory obligations that apply.
Local economy

The local economy

Hanover's insurance headquarters make reserving, reinsurance and loss development analytics a local speciality, where gross and net measures must be separately labelled to avoid serious error. Commercial vehicle manufacturing adds traceability and warranty analytics on long product lifecycles.

Leibniz University Hanover supplies engineering and actuarial-adjacent analytics graduates.

How buying works here

Six to sixteen weeks in the private sector.

Specification-driven and documented. The technical team and the Einkauf negotiate separately, references carry real weight, and a written proposal with itemised positions is expected rather than a slide deck.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Fachbereich, the business area that owns the requirement
  2. IT, for architecture and operability
  3. Datenschutzbeauftragter, for the AVV and the processing position
  4. Betriebsrat, wherever employee performance could be derived from the reporting
  5. Einkauf, for commercial terms
  6. Geschäftsführung, above the delegated authority threshold

Have ready

  • Handelsregisterauszug, a current commercial register extract
  • Unbedenklichkeitsbescheinigung for tax and social security contributions
  • Betriebshaftpflicht and professional indemnity insurance certificates
  • Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag (AVV), the Article 28 processing agreement, in German
  • Referenzen: named comparable projects, frequently with a contactable referee

Contract language: German for the contract, the AVV and the acceptance documentation, even where the delivery team works in English.

Next step

Analytics work in Hanover

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what insurance and reinsurance and automotive and mobility data looks like. We will tell you what we would build, in what order, and roughly what it costs.

How this usually runs here
Ein Fachgespräch, then an itemised Angebot in German with an AVV attached. Expect the technical review to be detailed.
