The Company
Ecuiti makes sense of the world’s connected data to provide relevant and trustworthy information and tangible, practical insights to drive your business desicions.
Ecuiti is based in San Francisco and was created in August 2014 to help companies that depend on technology close the iterative innovation gap by simplifying their complicated data. Insights from Big Data and many other sources provide the ability for companies to improve many aspects of product and service development, marketing, customer service, and monetization. We know how to help companies put systems and skills in place that are instrumented to harness the insights from their data--to distill the information they need to learn faster than those who do not adapt to the challenge. The result is a shift to more insightful data-driven business decisions.
Why is Ecuiti different? Ecuiti's founding team has driven competition policy that shapes the tech industry on behalf of some of the world's leading tech driven companies. Our work in developing impactful analysis related to technology oriented antitrust and intellectual property legal matters required a greater rigor than typical Big Data analysis. This experience gave us an unmatched expertise in understanding the mechanisms that cause shifts in market share, market power, and technology adoption. This expertise allows us to understand why other data science initiatives fail to be impactful. At the same time, we have learned to be efficient and cost-effective, to avoid the pitfalls that cause Big Data projects to be unwieldy. We have shown many businesses the value of our rigorous approaches and helped them use their data to be more effective decision makers.
Our Mission
Ecuiti was conceived to drive clear insight into analysis of data. Ecuiti was designed to provide technologies, services, and approaches that will accomplish three goals:
Make data-driven insights scalable, affordable, and practical.
Leapfrog skill gaps to increase companies' abilities to drive innovation and higher performance from their products/services, marketing, and advertising.
Create a great place to work where our team members and clients can change the world one datapoint at a time..
