Syniti, a
global data solution provider, today announced the acquisition of Virtyx
Technologies, Inc., an innovative start-up that provides end-to-end AI-powered
automatic monitoring and analytics for data transformation. The asset purchase,
which encompasses the acquisition of Virtyx technology and the retention of the
key Virtyx Engineering talent, will integrate Virtyx's industry-leading
cloud-native and AI technology with Syniti's Knowledge Platform - creating a
knowledge-driven software suite and enhancing Syniti's development and
Engineering team.
The new
cloud-native and AI technology will help advance the real-time movement,
management and workflow of data and metadata, as well as provide AI-driven
predictive guidance, by analyzing historical data incidents via unmatchable
dashboards and detailed graphs of over 1000 metrics. The acquisition provides a
fast path to leverage Virtyx software, expertise, and application designed for
initiatives, like data quality, data governance, and data migration, which are
Syniti's specialized areas of operation.
"In a
world where data drives decision-making across every domain, having insight,
reporting, and predictive capabilities is imperative to prevent data from being
mismanaged or, at the very least, undermanaged." said Syniti CEO, Kevin
Campbell. "With the cloud-based Syniti Knowledge Platform, infused with Virtyx
technology, customers can gain greater visibility into metrics and solve
critical transformation issues with the guidance, capture, and reuse of
critical knowledge often locked within data."
Kevin
Reid, Syniti Board Member, co-founder, former CEO and CTO of cloud service
provider VirtuStream and co-founder and partner of Blue Lagoon Capital, said,
"Virtyx has built highly scalable technologies that can open up new value and
growth opportunities for global enterprises. This asset acquisition provides
Syniti incremental cloud-native technology and enhanced visibility to address
its customers' data journey and continual focus to move to the cloud."
"As we
kick off a new decade, we are happy to further our commitment and long-term
roadmap of providing cloud-first, knowledge-driven technologies to our
customers and to helping them modernize their data management systems and
processes," said Syniti Chief Strategy and Technical Officer, Rex Ahlstrom.
"This will ultimately, help drive the improvement of business' performance and
functionality."
Jim
Maniscalco, Founder of Virtyx and now Syniti VP of Engineering said, "I am
excited to join Syniti in offering a single cloud platform solution that merges
the real-time stream processing of data and AI with the data insights and
analytics of the Syniti Knowledge Platform. Coupling these technologies will
help drive a new level of excellence within Enterprise Data Management."
Syniti
will incorporate new Virtyx technologies in all current and future Syniti
Knowledge Platform customer solutions. With the acquisition of Virtyx, in
addition to Virtyx's team of experts in cloud-native development, Syniti has
also welcomed Virtyx Founder Jim Maniscalco, who joined Syniti as VP of
Engineering.
