Dedicated data science team.
Offshore data scientists, data analysts, BI developers and quantitative analysts work only on your questions, as a dedicated data science team. We hire them for your data and your sector, employ them and coach them from our offices in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand. Every analysis starts from a decision someone in your business has to make.
What you get and what you pay.
The data scientists we assign are employed by Azendo and work from our offices. Hire one through staff augmentation or offshore staffing and onboarding, reviews and their development land on your desk instead. A service delivery manager makes sure the analysis answers the questions you asked.

Data scientists, analysts and BI roles.
Each of the four roles below has its own page. Data engineers and MLOps engineers can join the same team when a model or a dashboard needs a pipeline behind it.
The questions a dedicated data science team works on.
A dedicated data science team proves its value when analysis turns into action: a forecast the planning team uses, a churn model sales can work from, a dashboard leadership trusts. The data scientists we assign recommend the simplest method that answers the question, build it in your environment and explain the result in plain words. When a model has to run every day, it moves to MLOps under the same agreement.
- Analysis and reportingAnswers to specific business questions, with the method and the caveats written down.
- Forecasting and modelsDemand, churn and pricing models in Python, scikit-learn, XGBoost or PyTorch.
- Experiment designA/B tests set up so the result can be trusted before anyone acts on it.
- Dashboards and BIReports and dashboards that show the numbers decision makers use every week.
- EvaluationModels checked against a baseline and against new data before they are used.
- Handoff to productionModels packaged for MLOps when they need to run every day.

What a dedicated data science team is.
A dedicated data science team is a group of data scientists and analysts who work on one company's questions, full time: forecasts, models, dashboards and analysis. Every piece of work starts from a decision someone in the business has to make. Azendo employs the team and runs delivery with you.
Where it pays off most
It pays off when decisions wait on analysis, or when the questions come in faster than one analyst can answer them. The same team stays with your data and your business, so each analysis starts from what the last one found.

Questions about a dedicated data science team.
What does a dedicated data science team do?
A dedicated data science team answers your business questions with data full time: analysis, forecasting, models, experiments and dashboards. With Azendo the data scientists and analysts are ours, managed from Chiang Mai and Bangkok, and they work in your environment on the decisions you set.
How much does a dedicated data science team cost?
Data analysts and BI developers start from USD 2,100 per month, and data scientists and quantitative analysts from USD 3,000, at junior level and full time. For each analyst, delivery management, a Talent Success Manager and training, the office, equipment, HR and payroll are already priced in. See how the monthly fee is built.
Data analyst or data scientist: which do we need?
A data analyst answers questions from the data you have, in reports and dashboards. A data scientist builds models that predict or classify. Many companies start with an analyst and add a data scientist once the questions need forecasting.
Do we need clean data before a data science team can start?
It helps, and a little goes a long way. The team starts with the data you have, says where it limits the answers, and a dedicated data engineering team can fix the pipelines under the same agreement.
Which tools does the team use?
Python, SQL, pandas, scikit-learn, XGBoost and PyTorch, in Jupyter, Google Colab or your own environment, with the BI tool your business already reads. When a model has to run in production, it is handed over with MLflow and Docker so the MLOps side can take it from there.
How do the results reach the people who decide?
In plain words. Every analysis ends with the answer, how confident the team is in it and what it means for the decision, presented to the people who asked the question. The method and the data behind it are written down, so anyone can check the work later.
Who owns the models and the data?
You do. The work happens in your environment and your repositories, under your access rules, and every model, notebook and dashboard belongs to you. Nothing is copied to systems of ours, and the documentation stays with the work.
Do the data scientists work remotely?
Yes, and in daily contact with you, usually on Slack or Teams. Azendo employs the data scientists and assigns each one to you full time, to work in your warehouse, notebooks and BI tools. Most days are spent in our offices, and up to two a week at home through a secure VPN.
Service areas you can add to a data science team.
Each role joins under the same agreement, works in the same sprints and reports to the same service delivery manager. You add one when your product calls for it.
