Text IQ Announces Banner Year of Enterprise Growth, Executive Appointments, New Products, and Strategic PartnershipsText IQ, the leading company applying artificial intelligence (AI) to identify sensitive data, today announced strong year-over-year product adoption, revenue growth and customer retention driven by accelerating digital transformation in the enterprise. Four key trends are propelling this growth, including the exploding volume of enterprise data, with nearly 80% being unstructured, the unstoppable migration to public cloud infrastructure, the exponential increase in data breach events, and the growing complexity of compliance with data privacy regulations around the world. Last year, the company more than doubled its recurring revenue and delivered significant value that resulted in 100% renewal from existing customers. It made a number of key leadership hires and added exceptional talent in all departments. It successfully launched its data breach response solution and significantly enhanced products already in the market. It transformed its annual in-person conference, The Inevitable, into a virtual event series that features Fortune 500 executives, industry thought leaders and top AI researchers, resulting in a 100x increase in audience. "Accomplishing this record growth during a global pandemic is a testament to the strength of our team, the success of our products and, most importantly, to the substantial challenge of managing the exploding volume of unstructured data in complex enterprises," said Apoorv Agarwal, Text IQ co-founder and CEO. "Our customers recognize that only Text IQ's unstructured data platform can identify 99% of personal and other sensitive information without the need for human review, a huge increase in efficiency and accuracy in a time when every organization is on the hook to meet strict data privacy requirements." While data growth was already substantial, the amount of unstructured data in electronic documents, email and messaging apps has exploded in the last year due in part to remote work. Information that could once be exchanged face to face is now captured in systems that weren't optimized for identifying and protecting sensitive information. Text IQ's AI platform, powered by the company's proprietary socio-linguistic hypergraph, finds sensitive information, categorizes it and makes actionable the needles that were previously hidden in the haystack. Companies deploy Text IQ to reduce risk, increase efficiency and speed time-to-insight in the areas of privacy, compliance and legal review. Text IQ's major accomplishments in the past year include:
Referring to the new executives and talented employees who joined Text IQ in the last year, co-founder and COO Omar Haroun remarked, "We are fortunate to have maintained our amazing level of talent in the company as we doubled in size. Every addition to the Text IQ team brings exceptional levels of excellence, dedication and customer-centricity, reinforcing our core values and allowing us to capitalize on a rapidly growing marketing opportunity and continually changing customer needs." "Text IQ's growth speaks to the exponential growth of data in complex enterprises and the corresponding difficulty of staying in control of sensitive information for legal, privacy and compliance purposes," said Matt Turck, partner at FirstMark and Text IQ board member. "Text IQ powerfully solves this problem with breakthrough technology that is creating an entirely new category of AI for sensitive data." To learn more about Text IQ and stay updated on company news:
