Our experience spans more than 25 years, delivering training data to the world's most innovative companies

Large Volumes of Reliable Training Data for Your AI Projects

Data collection can be noisy and costly, which is why it’s essential to design data collection workflows to capture high-quality data. With data being critical to every company’s success, especially when it comes to AI, there is added urgency for efforts that include data collection, data management, data storage, data access, data security, and more. Without a priority and dedicated thought to these, data may accidentally be mismanaged, making it useless to the company. Without proper data collection methods from the beginning, the rest of your data pipeline concerns will be a moot point.

To avoid losing one of your most valuable assets, work with a data collection services partner that understands rules, regulations, and implications of data collection, while leveraging technology to enable you to develop machine learning at scale.

We provide data collection services to improve machine learning at scale. As a global leader in our field, our clients benefit from our capability to quickly deliver large volumes of high-quality data across multiple data types, including image, video, speech, audio, and text for your specific AI program needs.

We provide several different data collection solutions and services to best suit your specific needs.
