Your ML engineering journey with VirtusLab
Approach
We work with you to understand the business domain, the quality and quantity of available data, your existing technical architecture, and to gather requirements.
Outcome
You receive a comprehensive preliminary analysis including the technology choice, possible architectures, a feasibility study and the associated value-proposition.
Approach
Our team presents a course of action or a proof of concept (PoC) for you to explore new opportunities. We design, implement and validate the concept, establishing its proof of value.
Outcome
You receive a proof of value for the ML model, data and/or ML platform or a business strategy.
Approach
We introduce the previously agreed-upon solution, whether it’s an ML model, infrastructure change, or the application of a business strategy.
Ourcome
You receive a solution in the form of an ML system or a data and/or ML platform tailored to your organization.
Approach
We establish an operational process to continue to support and scale the previously delivered solution while also considering further cost of ownership.
Outcome
We provide a comprehensive long-term support plan that includes future upgrades and enhancements.

ML engineering FAQ
What if my organization isn't sufficiently mature for ML engineering yet?
No worries. There are other ways that we can help, including:
- Guiding your organization through the steps to achieve the intended level of maturity especially in terms of your data ecosystem.
- Running a ML engineering workshop to see in detail where you are on this journey, available at a fixed price.
- Helping with identifying some aspects of ML engineering that bring the most benefit without you having to make a leap.
- Building a small scale proof-of-concept targeted at a vertical slice of your business to verify the value proposition.
Can I tackle ML engineering on my own?
Yes, it's certainly possible to build ML engineering and MLOps capabilities on your own. Choosing the best methodology, onboarding onto an end-to-end platform, adapting or implementing necessary tooling, as well as building the correct mindset and culture is all achievable. All of this, however, requires both dedicated capacity as well as extensive software engineering experience in this area. Collaborating with a software engineering partner who has broad industry experience as well as a proven track-record, like VirtusLab, will resolve many if not most of those challenges.
How do you ensure that the model performance seen during offline experiments is maintained through to the production?
Right at the start of the development, we establish the expected targets as well as automated testing procedures. Then those are continuously validated through CI/CD on every single change to the code, and the results are presented through specialized dashboards. We build a deployment method that rolls-out the model gradually and establish QA procedures that are executed before each big release.
What level of involvement do you expect from our organization's leadership and technical teams?
The involvement of your leadership and technical teams is crucial throughout the implementation process, as their expertise shapes the business context and ensures that the final product is aligned with the expectations.
Can machine learning models be customized to meet my specific business goals?
Yes, of course. Using an automated feature engineering and model training process, data can be fed into a choice of state-of-the-art models adapted to your specific goals. Moreover, techniques such as fine-tuning, where we use knowledge from a pre-existing model, can greatly enhance performance in a cost-efficient way. In cases of some models, such as large language models, knowledge-retrieval techniques such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG) can give you top performance at minimal cost.
