We are your data partner
We are Landscape: a small organisation with a big heart for data. Since 2014 we have been helping others as data partner to implement data and AI solutions into their organisation in a valuable way. From general idea to implemented solution.

We believe that data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence can be of real value to human beings. By supporting and not necessarily replacing them. By freeing up time and energy for humans to focus on that what they are really good at. By going for durability instead of a gimmick.
Through honesty, a human focus and a broad mind
To implement data and AI in a valuable way, we find it very important to stay honest, know what you are doing technology wise and always keep the user in mind.
So you can trust us to do the following:
1We are honest about AI
AI is a hype. Of course, because it is capable of awesome things. But... this is not true for every organisation or situation. Sometimes AI is not the right solution. At Landscape we will stay honest with you. We will only implement AI if we truly believe in the value of a solution.
2We put people before AI
AI is a tool. And as with any other tool, you can use it in multiple ways. We feel a strong responsibility to implement AI in the right way. These are our three golden rules:
- The decisions of an AI model should be explainable.
- The impact of AI solutions on the organisation and users should be taken into account. The results must always meet the user's requirements.
- We handle data safely. We use different methods like pseudonymization, anonymisation and federated learning to always comply to the GDPR.
3We focus on more than algorithms
Implementing AI is never about the technology alone. Developing it is one, but if it is not used, it is not worth the investment. That is why it is important to keep in mind multiple preconditions, from human capital to governance. Through years of experience with a great scala of projects in multiple sectors, we know what to take into account and gladly help you with this. Besides that we value a close collaboration, since of everyone you know your business best!

Not only should data and AI solutions focus on people, they are also made by people! These are ours!
We are Landscape
The Landscape team consists of a fun club of bright minds with diverse backgrounds and expertises in fields like computer science, business, mathematics, psychology, design and physics. What they all have in common is their love for data and the drive to share its potential.
We'd like to introduce you to everyone:
From general data support to AI & ML specialists
Landscape was founded in March 2014 by Erwin Haas and Lucas van der Meer, master students from Leiden University. Both had wanted to be entrepreneurs, and together they decided to embrace their shared passion, and use it to help others with data.
This is what the current Landscape still does, with a bigger focus on AI. Machine Learning and AI aren't new to us, but the interest in and demand for it is!
Our attitude
What can you expect from us when we do business together?
Thorough and curious
We deliver the best results when we know exactly what you need, so we strive to understand your business problems before we tackle them. We want to understand underlying processes before offering you solutions, and will frequently ask you 'Why?'.
Broad views and sustainable suggestions
We like to build long and meaningful relationships. So with every project we will always keep in mind your entire organisation, the market and future techniques. We want to help you develop sustainable solutions that are happily used.
Open and down to earth
We communicate honestly about what realistic expectations are, and what we can feasibly accomplish. We want you to understand how we create value for you: we show you how our models work and how they use your data. We invite you to be involved, and keep you updated on a regular basis.
Honesty and independence
We are in the business of demystifying hypes, not selling them. We believe solutions should be explainable and clear, but most of all realistic. We won't always say what you want to hear, but we'll be upfront and tell you the truth. To your advantage.
Relaxed and personal
We place great value in pleasant communication and a relaxed working environment where everyone is treated as an equal. This gives us the opportunity to build creative solutions and discuss things openly. :)
