The Rise of Data Science-as-a-Service (DSaaS): What Every CXO Needs to Know

Data Science has become the lifeblood of digital enterprises. But building in-house data science teams is proving unsustainable. Enter Data Science-as-a-Service (DSaaS)—a model where enterprises access AI and analytics expertise on-demand, powered by outsourcing partnerships and managed platforms like Rubiscape.

Why DSaaS, Why Now?

• High churn: Data scientists have one of the highest attrition rates in tech.
• Cost barrier: Recruiting and retaining skilled AI engineers can cripple budgets.
• Scalability issues: Project-based teams don’t scale to enterprise-wide AI ambitions.
