Companies around the world are estimated to generate about two quintillion bytes of data every day. Despite this data abundance, about 63% of employees say they’re unable to get the necessary insights in the required timeframe and close to 95% of businesses claim that not being able to manage and understand unstructured data is halting their progress.
Chances are you’re already familiar with many of these statistics. But did you know that a part of the future of business intelligence is actually being created in Bulgaria? For quite a few years now, four local companies – A Data Pro, Identrics, SeeNews, and Perceptica – have helped global customers solve their information needs. And now while remaining completely autonomous entities, they will be united by one common brand – Updata One.
“We have multiple examples of the collaborative process between the separate brands that have proven their successful exchange of services and knowledge in order to respond to a certain customer request or perform internal process optimization. With the launch of Updata One, we aim to increase the expertise level within our community of professionals and provide an opportunity to deliver better products and services to current and potential new clients,” share from Updata One.
Better collaboration opportunities
The new formation’s goal will be to positively impact all the organizations in attaining a higher position in the value chain by providing easier access to all resources and the knowledge and expertise of the rest of Updata One representatives. This enhanced interaction between the four companies is expected to turn into a strong advantage for each brand individually ahead of their competition.
Updata One also gives the four brands the opportunity to benefit from all advantages everyone brings within the community, as well as the ability to together monitor and follow any news, trends and tendencies happening in the markets, including communicating, educating each other about hot questions and topics, and working together on different R&D projects.
The end to end package for extracting valuable business insights
While covering a very wide range of data services and solutions, Updata One is on a journey to solve a problem that can be boiled down to two words – information overload.
The community of companies is already helping CEOs, marketers, and other decision makers deal with the enormous amount of data – extracting the valuable and insightful information they need in any language (human or machine) and in the format that would best suit their business needs.
“We prevent clients from accumulating data non-effectively and help them avoid decision paralysis. We turn data into the most valuable source of information to benefit their business through our trustworthy insights, in-depth understanding and relevant interpretation. Through our media monitoring services, we assure a clear understanding and effective measurement of how well our client brand stays ahead of its competitors and performs in the market,” tells us the team of Updata One.

Identrics launched as a Sofia-based AI startup back in 2015.

To do so, the team offers a few solutions: multilingual abstractive summarisation, entity extraction, sentiment analysis and custom & DSaaS. These have earned Identrics an international client base and industry recognition, including a bronze & gold Stevie Awards.
