About Envitia Group

Established data and geospatial technology and services provider to both the private and public sectors.

ENVITIA solves complex data management problems for customers using in-depth data and geospatial expertise. The Business provides innovative solutions to help customers manage their data to enable business insight, improve decision making and deliver successful digital transformation. The goal is to deliver quick wins and rapid RoI on data driven business challenges, which is different to an IT transformation project. 

ENVITIA provides an end-to-end data capability focused on business outcomes, working with organisations offering both modular and flexible services addressing immediate challenges. The Business uses a combination of data consultants, engineers, and scientists addressing problems of data discovery and access, data modelling, data quality, AI / Machine Learning, analytics and visualisation. This combination of specialist skill sets delivered as one service is hard to replicate, especially when combined with their deep domain focus. 

The Business has been operating in the Data and Geospatial market for over 30 years and is a trusted partner to over 70 Tier 1 clients.
