Data and analytics consultancy in Bern

Bern sits in Canton of Bern, with an economy built on public sector, telecommunications, and insurance and reinsurance. 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.

Bern 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

Bern is the seat of federal administration, so analytics work here is dominated by statutory reporting, transparency obligations and multilingual publication requirements across German, French and Italian. Federal procurement rules also shape how work is bought, which is worth understanding before any proposal.

The University of Bern and the Bern University of Applied Sciences provide analytics graduates, with federal employers competing for them.

Economic anchors

  • federal government and the federal administration
  • telecoms and postal group headquarters
  • insurance and pension funds

Where the clients sit

  • the Altstadt
  • the Wankdorf administrative quarter
  • Bümpliz
  • the Insel hospital campus

How buying works here

Eight to twenty weeks.

Relationship-led but heavily documented, with supplier due diligence that goes further than anywhere else in our markets, particularly in banking and pharmaceuticals.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Fachstelle, the business owner
  2. IT security, with a questionnaire and frequently an architecture review
  3. Datenschutz, against the revFADP rather than an EU-shaped pack
  4. Einkauf for commercial terms
  5. Outsourcing or risk committee, in regulated financial services
  6. Geschäftsleitung, for anything touching client-identifying data

Have ready

  • Handelsregisterauszug, current commercial register extract
  • Betreibungsregisterauszug, a debt enforcement register extract, requested more often than people expect
  • Insurance certificates including professional indemnity, in CHF cover levels
  • Data processing agreement drafted against the revFADP, not a translated EU template
  • Security questionnaire, frequently the client's own rather than a standard

Contract language: German, French or Italian depending on the canton; English is common in banking, pharmaceuticals and international groups.

Next step

Analytics work in Bern

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

How this usually runs here
A technical call, then a written Offerte. Regulated buyers will ask for an outsourcing assessment and a tested exit plan early.
