Making Data DelightfulWe’ve moved firmly into a data driven world.  Companies that can get their hands on more data quickly and efficiently have an edge. Crux helps companies achieve this edge. Financial firms today are doing the same work to ingest, validate, clean, and store the same data over and over again. Crux is an industry utility that focuses only on this non-differentiated work and thus gains economies of scale that firms cannot, by definition, leverage when they do this for themselves. The result is that Crux is able to deliver and operate data feeds at lower cost, more quickly, and at a consistent world-class level of service, while giving its customers full transparency into deep operational metadata, tight entitlement control, and comprehensive and accurate data usage monitoring.In short, Crux is a data delivery and operations company that takes on the critical, yet commoditized, tasks of ingesting data and getting it ready for analysis. Crux reduces your costs and allows you to focus on your competitive advantage.
