#TechDemo x Embiggen
Join us on July 28, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., on the Alp ICT YouTube channel, with Nicolas Souvlakis, Managing Partner of Embiggen (Europe).
Turning Data into Decisions with Artificial Intelligence
Companies often have a considerable volume of data but still struggle to turn it into actionable insights for day-to-day operations. Through its Neuchâtel-based subsidiary, Embiggen X helps organizations adopt results-driven artificial intelligence. The company develops solutions that enable decision-makers and operational teams to derive greater value from their data through intelligent forecasting, analytics, and assistance tools.
From Forecasting to Action: When Business Data Becomes a Competitive Advantage Thanks to AI
This new #TechDemo will give us a look at two complementary solutions developed by Embiggen X: Forecast IQ and Ximple AI.
On the one hand, Forecast IQ helps organizations anticipate changes in their business using advanced predictive analytics capabilities. On the other hand, Ximple AI makes it easier to access information by allowing employees to query their data using natural language, without requiring any specific technical skills. Together, these solutions aim to reduce uncertainty, accelerate decision-making, and democratize access to data within the company. The goal is simple: to transform data that is often underutilized into directly actionable insights for business teams.
Some of the features that will be showcased during the demonstration include:
- Automated AI-based forecasts to anticipate future trends
- Analysis of Trends in Demand and Business Indicators
- Anomaly Detection and Identification of Atypical Events
- Scenario Modeling to Facilitate Planning and Decision-Making
- Viewing forecasts through intuitive dashboards
- Conversational Search Using Natural Language on Enterprise Data
- Automatic generation of responses, summaries, and analyses from multiple information sources
Making faster and more accurate decisions in an increasingly complex environment: the new challenge for SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland
For many small and medium-sized businesses in French-speaking Switzerland, the challenge is no longer accessing information but quickly deriving useful insights from it to manage their business, anticipate market trends, or optimize operations.
This issue is all the more important given that the predictive capabilities offered by artificial intelligence now make it possible to significantly improve the quality of decisions. According to Oracle, which cites research by McKinsey & Company on the supply chain*, AI-based forecasting solutions can reduce forecasting errors by 20 to 50% and cut stockouts by up to 65%.

merely experimenting with it.
At the same time, employees still spend a significant amount of their time searching for information scattered across various tools and document repositories. New AI-powered conversational interfaces help democratize access to data and reduce this friction by enabling teams to quickly obtain actionable answers without having to rely on technical experts every time.
AI is thus becoming increasingly integrated into day-to-day operations, as highlighted in the 2026 edition of the Data & AI Observatory in Switzerland: 57% of companies report that their AI initiatives are driven by business needs**. This trend brings AI closer to operational priorities, but it also increases the risk of fragmentation if initiatives are not prioritized, coordinated, and shared.
