Our story
What we learned as consultants became the product
Adamatics did not start with a product idea. It started with a pattern Sune and Steen kept building by hand, project after project, for other people.
Sune Askjær and Steen Manniche had already built data science platforms together, at Teradata's Think Big Analytics and then as independent consultants, before they founded Adamatics in December 2018. The first years were consulting: building data science infrastructure for pharma and biotech research teams.
The pattern worked, and it kept working. What became obvious was that the organisations who needed it most were the ones who could not build it: companies without ten internal data scientists and a platform team to spare. So we built the product version ourselves, by hand and with ordinary engineering discipline, over years and long before anyone could generate an application from a paragraph of text.
Generative AI then changed who needs it. A domain expert can now produce a working application in an afternoon, and every organisation has to decide what happens to it next. The environment we had built for data science teams turned out to answer a much larger question.
The name says what it is for. ADA, for AI-Driven Analytics. The suffix -matics, from the Greek -matos, "willing to perform". Analytics that does something, for more than the few people who can write the code.
Today the platform runs inside organisations of roughly 200 to 5,000 people whose advantage comes from what their own experts know, and who cannot afford that knowledge to be unowned, unfindable, or wrong.
