What We Do
Envitia is a data software and services company that solves complex data challenges.
Data is at the heart of every digital transformation project. It’s part of the competitive world we live in yet organisations are struggling to make sense of the explosion of data from multiple data sources and formats from sensors to social media and Government open data.
Data needs data experts to solve complex issues such as differing data sources, multiple data formats, missing data or poor data quality (the main reason for any failed digital project). With our technology and data expertise we help customers, across public and private sectors, solve business problems or improve decision-making by making better use of accurate and relevant data
