Who owns the models and dashboards that Zansa builds?
The client owns everything Zansa builds. Machine-learning models run inside the client's own cloud account, usually Google BigQuery, so the data, code and models sit under the client's control rather than on a provider's platform. This avoids lock-in if the relationship ends.
Ownership matters because forecasting systems become part of daily operations. If a provider holds the models, a company can lose its forecasting capability when it changes supplier.
When evaluating any analytics provider, ask:
- Where does the data live?
- Who holds the code and the model files?
- Can another team take over?
- Is documentation provided?
With models hosted in your own cloud account, you keep access and can change who maintains them.
