Our technology choices
Our R&D team is focused on choosing the best available technology on the market to ensure that our customers benefit from data marketplaces that are secure, efficient and fully interoperable, democratizing data and driving value.
Technology to accelerate data democratization
We believe that data must be accessible to everyone to drive smarter, better-informed decisions. That’s why we’ve designed our solution to be accessible to all, whether business users or expert data teams, enabling every user to seamlessly discover and consume data, whatever their specific needs. Our approach is based on a deep conviction: democratizing access to data requires a simple and intuitive solution, allowing everyone to use it independently on a daily basis without requiring technical skills or assistance from experts.
Capacity to offer direct access to data
Data can be accessible directly within the solution, allowing users to immediately understand and consume data through a range of interactive features.
Putting business users first
Every evolution of our solution is designed to make it easier for business users to access and consume data by combining simplicity, intuitiveness and security.
Self-service approach
From intuitive features to an e-commerce-inspired experience, our self-service approach enables self-service data consumption at scale, without requiring expert support.
API-first solution
All our features are accessible via APIs for optimal interoperability within your technology, including AI solutions, allowing our customers to easily connect their data and integrate it into existing workflows.
Efficient and secure AI integration
From the outset we have integrated AI in ways that directly benefit our customers. We implement AI by integrating new models and developing innovative features that both improve user productivity and help users discover all types of data assets, including data products. Every innovation is designed to deliver tangible added value to your data product marketplace, while adhering to best practices to optimize the security of customer data.
Multi-model AI
All AI-based features are accessible via either the Mistral AI or OpenAI models, with the ability to choose within the solution’s back office.
Compliance with best practice
Each AI feature is developed with efficiency in mind, minimizing the amount of information sent without compromising the quality and relevance of the results for the user.
Seamless integration with all your data sources
Adopting a data product marketplace at scale is based on a fundamental principle: it must become a true single source of truth for all your users. To ensure the success of your marketplace, our solution makes it easy to connect to all your data sources, meeting your connectivity needs and allowing the creation of a centralized space for the discovery and consumption of all your data assets.
100+ native connectors
