EDAQS acquires next generation data science company NEXTdata and its associated technology.

Hamburg, Germany – June 23, 2016

EDAQS announced today that it has strategically acquired NEXTdata, a next generation AI enterprise data processing startup, based in Düsseldorf, Germany. The addition of NEXTdata continues a series of strategic investments that solidifies EDAQS’s position in the market. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition follows the 2015 strategic partnership agreement between EDAQS and NEXTdata under which NEXTdata has powered the technology platforms for EDAQS. The addition of NEXTdata and its technology NEXTApp will now make it possible for EDAQS to use advanced machine learning and data science at scale to analyze billions of signals that map to its analytics tools. It will further allow for the creation and execution of more strategically-driven engagement that industry executives have been asking for, and enable delivery of comprehensive end-to-end offerings that are designed to help customers reimagine the business and experience.

“The strategic partnership agreement we’ve had in place has been a marriage of NEXTdata’s strong vision with our best-in-class automated computational systems,” said Daryl DeJori, EDAQS Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Evolving this relationship is a logical next step that strengthens the EDAQS family’s ability to continue to innovate and deliver the very best in Artificial Intelligence to the widest set of industries, all over the world.”

The company’s Head of Science and renowned Data Scientist, Reimund Homann, added:“Most of our scientific Big Data systems that process billions of data sets daily, such as those for the sports and fashion industry, will benefit from the modern and unprecedented data processing that NEXTdata brings to our unique AI quantification systems.”

The deal comes at a stage where EDAQS has formed an alliance with its long-term development partner Fashion One Group, who has taken over leadership within the big data business in fashion and who participated in the strategic acquisition.
EDAQS and the Fashion One Group are jointly running the Alpha Fashion One laboratories, which is specialized in big data refinement and AI-supported quantification systems, including the IFDAQ and the Credit Rating and Reputation System MARS.

“We have watched NEXTdata create and grow within the Big Data market. They are clearly the dominant force within unstructured data processing and artificial intelligence,” said Iva Mirbach, CEO of Fashion One Group. “Adding NEXTdata’s extraordinary capabilities is the perfect complement to our business, we can now reach more industry professionals and bring more value by having our solutions fully integrated.”
