Who we are

IndyKite helps companies mobilize, secure and control their data landscape to build more innovative products and services that drive growth at the enterprise. Companies need a way to safely and securely use data and currently they lack the ability to properly combine data, understand the context in which it is being used and trust and control this data for the acceleration of growth both within their organization and with their partner ecosystems.

IndyKite provides the capabilities to deliver against their challenges, focusing on the capture of data from across silos, the connecting of and enriching this data to deliver more visibility, insights and trust and lastly, controlling data, which delivers access control necessary for secure and compliant use.
