Data and analytics consultancy in Sion

Sion sits in Canton of Valais, with an economy built on renewables, tourism, hospitality and events, and agriculture and agribusiness. 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.

Sion 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

Sion's hydropower and energy research presence makes generation, availability and settlement analytics a local speciality. Alpine tourism adds sharply seasonal demand work, and agriculture in the valley brings yield and traceability reporting.

The EPFL Valais campus and local applied sciences provision give Sion better technical supply than its size suggests.

Economic anchors

  • hydropower generation and energy research
  • alpine tourism
  • wine and fruit production in the Rhône valley

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • the Ronquoz industrial area
  • the EPFL Valais campus
  • the Rhône valley corridor

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 Sion

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what renewables and tourism, hospitality and events 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.
