About us
Our Story
During a combined 35 years of consulting, Solidatus Co-Founders, Philip Dutton and Philip Miller, noticed a consistent pattern of data management problems. Projects taking far longer than they should, mind-bending complexity, low confidence in data… sound familiar?
Knowing that there had to be a better way, the idea for Solidatus came about, and it was first and foremost designed as a practitioner’s tool to help accelerate the projects our Co-Founders were tasked with on a daily basis.
Engineered and launched in February 2017, it very quickly became clear that the tool would have a far greater impact than first envisioned.
Solidatus become a world-leading data management solution, chosen by the world’s most data rich and regulated organizations for its game-changing visualization capabilities and ability to rapidly speed up data projects.
Raised $19.2m in a Series A funding round led by Albion VC with participation from strategic investors Citi and HSBC.
We launched our US headquarters in Houston, Texas, and our team has grown to over 100 of the best and brightest, and continues to expand. We’ve won ten industry awards in 2022 alone, including Waters Technology’s ‘Best Sell-Side Data Management Solution’, and were named in Deloitte’s Fast 50 for the second year in a row.
Solidatus and HSBC won the Banking Tech Award for ‘Best Use of Tech in Business Lending’, recognizing our innovative contributions to HSBC’s Wholesale Lending business by improving data traceability and efficiency across their global operations.
Solidatus was named in the FT 1000 ranking of Europe’s fastest-growing companies for the second consecutive year and was selected as a key data lineage integration partner for Microsoft Purview, highlighting our continued impact and leadership in data governance.
We are the world's best Data Lineage Solution
