Quantifio

Seed Round in 2016
Data-driven is a term that can be used to describe the current business climate. If you are in the business of pretty much anything you have important data hanging around. Lots of it. Organizations use data from a variety of different sources - both internal and external. The ever increasing amount and flow of data causes a lot of pain for organizations which are not able to use the data for what they are worth. While a lot has happened to the way we store, manage and visualize data, little has happened to the way people work and interact when turning data into actionable insight. If not hamstrung by an off-the-shelf analytics and visualization tool, too much money, time and resources is wasted on tedious and manual work like juggling analytic tidbits back and fourth and maintaining data sets and analytics - stuff that severely hinders an organizations productivity and potentially cause lost opportunities. With Quantifio we fully rectify this. We do not believe in the traditional one size fits all-solution for enterprise data analytics. We advocate freedom and autonomy for the organization rather than monolithic solutions. In a revolutionary and enjoyable way Quantifio delivers an analytical infrastructure that serves as the glue enabling companies to easily compose a highly performant ecosystem for data analytics.
