WHO WE ARE
About us
WHAT WE VALUE
Control
​
We view the CONTROL of data as the starting point. There can be no genuine data privacy, data protection, or data collaboration without first establishing control via the reduction and elimination of copies.
​
The intelligent organization of the future will enable people and systems to collaborate on data as the basis of accelerated innovation. The future is data-centric, not code centric.
Transparency
​
We are committed to the elimination of data replication in order to enhance the auditability of data usage. This is the basis for improved trust.
Inclusiveness
​
The universal language of data is democratizing IT and enabling a much wider range of people to participate in innovation. We also recognize the role of artificial intelligences in the Data Collaboration methodology.
