Our mission is to deliver trust in data. It’s at the core of our platform and operations, built into every transparent step we take, so our clients can rely, with certainty, on data that informs their most critical analysis and business decisions.
The data landscape constantly changes and evolves. Sequentum keeps one eye on what’s next – not just on continuous improvement but on meaningful evolution – and the other eye on simplifying the complexity in data. We optimize and build on our key features including customization, notifications, observability and the integration of tools, and pioneer use of new technologies such as AI data enrichment.
Our vision is to evolve our intuitive, best-in-class technology into a fully automated, scalable, cloud based data platform and marketplace solution. We do this all in the service of simplifying complexity and delivering trust in data, now and into the future.
Sequentum sources, transforms, enriches, structures and reliably delivers transparent, compliant, trustworthy, high-quality data to Global 500 and Fortune 500 companies, government agencies and financial institutions. Our end-to-end platform, a highly composable system, allows for the rapid deployment of web data pipelines to empower our clients to focus on their most mission critical analysis and business decisions.
15 years ago Sequentum was founded to holistically and efficiently address the problems companies faced in finding the right data. Clients needed custom, alternative data sets at massive scale from fragmented and changing sources. Trusted, high-quality data is critical to discern how markets and companies moved: what products were selling, how to price them, what their competition offered, in order to identify consumer sentiment, trends, opportunities and optimize offerings.
Sequentum solved this need by leveraging our deep experience in search and process automation to build a holistic, end-to-end platform to extract and deliver trusted, transparent, high-quality web data with speed, ease and reliability. All of this is managed at scale, with built-in tools for deep customization, composability and the ability to observe, govern and audit every step of the data journey.
As quickly as our customer base grew, it was matched by the need to process more data from even more sources. On top of scale demand, composability and customizability on every level was needed to meet the most granular customer requirements in a frictionless way. Our corporate and financial customers also required additional data gathering compliance, transparency and governance controls, to meet SEC requirements.
We designed the ultimate end-to-end data platform and approached every aspect of sourcing, extraction, transformation and delivery, ethically and with integrity. The customizability, composability and trust we built into every step met the most stringent requirements to be fully transparent, observable and auditable. As a member of FISD, a global forum serving the financial information industry for over 30 years, we helped set the standards used today in alternative data sourcing and compliance.
As the use of alternative data expanded into more industries, so did Sequentum. We continually optimized every aspect of our end-to-end platform, processes and operations to be cost effective, efficient, scalable, reusable and repeatable as a low touch, frictionless and easy to use solution.
We’re delighted every day to simplify the complex world of data and offer our unique best-in-class, built-for-purpose platform to deliver trusted, high-quality custom data sets to the most discerning clients in every market.
