## About Datactics

VC Fund · Belfast, United Kingdom

Datactics specialises in self-service data quality and fuzzy matching software with connectivity to a wide range of internal and external data sources. Our solutions are designed to enable business users who know the data to visualise and fix the data, rather than rely on a coded, IT-resourced solution. Our experienced data scientists help banks,fund and asset managers, and major government departments easily report on and fix their data to ensure compliance with financial regulations, aid AML & KYC functions, and eliminate roadblocks common in data management. Ultimately, we help the people who know the data to fix the data. Typically, data quality is left to the technology side of a financial firm, and IT quickly becomes a bottleneck for the wide range of business projects requiring measured, cleaned and perfected data for analytics projects, regulatory reporting, and AML / KYC activities. Our tools easily integrate with off-the-shelf visualisation tools and help business teams to identify breaks and fix broken data as part of business as usual tasks.
