What we do

Discovering, accessing and understanding data easily and securely can be a challenge - even more so in larger, distributed organisations. Data Scientists spend 80% of their time searching for data which means spending valuable time on labour-intensive tasks that could easily be automated. Our mission is to build software tools to make data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and enable Reuse of digital assets - FAIR.
