About Aumnidata
Aumnidata is in the business of turning unstructured data into information you can act on. We call this “Unstructured Content Analytics.”
What is unstructured data? It includes all of the external publically accessible data from news, blogs, government websites, Youtube, as well as internal data that lies outside of corporate databases in emails, files, IM, video surveillance and phone calls. And a growing amount of this unstructured data is non-text – audio, video, and images. Valuable data that is critical for decision making is buried in these sources. Current estimates hold that over 80% of all data exists in unstructured form.*

One of the biggest challenges for organizations today is to capture data from this growing list of disparate sources to extract meaningful information and analysis for more effective decision-making.
Aumnidata is developing software to scan and collect data from many sources, filter it for relevancy, extract key data buried in documents, provide analytics on that data, and give users ways to visualize and share the results.
Our company is currently in stealth mode. Please check our website periodically for updates on our progress. Or contact us directly for more information.
