Industry analysts predict that within 10 years, 4 out of 5 decisions will be machine assisted. Currently, only 1% of data is even being accessed, let alone leveraged to make machine assisted decisions. As the adoption of advanced analytics, machine learning, IoT and artificial intelligence continues to accelerate, data availability will be the primordial ingredient required for implementations to be successful at scale.

In enterprises, we have reached a tipping point in data access where the effort involved by IT in making data accessible is far exceeding the value the business can create with the data. Business analysts and data scientists who are tasked with extracting value from data are simply wanting to make real-time decisions, glean insights instantly, and monetize information, however the volume, complexity, and exponential growth of data has led to an environment where we are making decisions on only a fraction of the data and where it takes 4-6 weeks and millions of dollars to fulfill even a simple data request.

Molecula is a Cloud Data Access platform that modernizes how organizations simplify, accelerate, and improves control over their large, fragmented and geographically disparate big data to optimize for the era of Advanced Analytics, Machine Learning, and the Internet of Things. Molecula’s unique ability to deconstruct data into highly compressed representations allows enterprises to securely access and query data at unprecedented speeds (at least 1000x) and with a fraction of the hardware (10x-100x reduction), ushering in an entirely new paradigm for continuous, real-time data analysis.

We are a cohesive team determined to bring about a complete transformation in the way enterprises advance through data at the speed of thought. We wake up every day excited to fulfill our mission to unlock human potential through the power of data.
