Fresh capital for data warehouse technology form Data Virtuality GmbH
July 18, 2012
Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen (TGFS) and High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) together invested around 1 million euros in the Leipzig-based software company Data Virtuality GmbH. The funding will be used to further develop and market the company’s innovative software solutions for the automated creation of data warehouses.
Data Virtuality GmbH develops and markets software which enables companies to automatically collect and process data from different data sources. Analysing data from own business activities, clients, and competitors becomes increasingly important to gain a competitive edge. With ever increasing amounts of data from multiple sources, big data analysis has become one of the fastest growing market segments in IT. Data Virtuality enables its customers to set up data warehouses automatically – and thus reducing manual effort, implementation time and costs tremendously in comparison to state-of-the-art solutions on the market.
The reduction of time and costs as well as increased flexibility in modifying data sources open up novel markets, allowing medium-sized business to also introduce complex business intelligence systems based on these data warehouses.
Dr Nick Golovin, Managing Director and founder of the company explains: “It’s not just the initial creation of a data warehouse that is expensive. Many businesses are dissatisfied with their existing data warehouses because the solutions aren’t flexible enough. For instance, in cases of mergers and acquisitions, data warehouse integration significantly delays the delivery of business-relevant information.”
Data Virtualizer, the lead product from Data Virtuality, collects and collates data from the various data sources, and finally creates a customer-tailored data warehouse automatically. The software solution allows reductions in time and cost of 60%-80%. Another advantage is that Data Virtualizer quickly adapts to changing requirements in a business, adapting itself automatically. Moreover, Data Virtualizer allows real-time access to the latest company data, which is only possible with expensive add-on tools when using state-of-the-art technology on the market.
