History

Rosslyn Analytics was founded in 2007 by Charles Clark and Hugh Cox. The company was named after Rosslyn Chapel in Midlothian, Scotland, which is famous for its mysterious carvings, believed to contain a message or even music that has never been verifiably decoded. In 2009, the company launched its first cloud-based business intelligence product - a self-service spend analytics app for its RAPid data platform. The RAPid platform won several awards for innovation and excellence, including the Technology Excellence Award for “Best New Product”.[1]

In April 2011, as a public service to help the UK Government reduce the deficit by getting better control of its purchasing, Rosslyn Analytics offered to provide free spend analytics to the government in just 30 days. The government refused the offer.[2]

In January 2012, Rosslyn Analytics entered the United States, establishing offices in New York City and Denver, Colorado.[citation needed]

Rosslyn Analytics was the first technology company to bring QlikView into the cloud in 2012.[3]

In February 2014, the company filed its first patent with the UK Intellectual Property Office[4] on machine-learning. In April, Rosslyn Analytics went public on AIM under the name of Rosslyn Data Technologies Group plc.[5] In May 2014, Rosslyn Analytics joined the UK government’s G-Cloud 5 Framework for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers.[6]

Products

The company’s flagship product is its cloud-based data platform called RAPid. RAPid provides self-service data integration, cleansing, enrichment, analysis and visualization capabilities via a single platform. Business users access the benefits of the platform via automated and manual self-service tools.[citation needed] The RAPid platform comes with a number of pre-built analytical apps sold as modular solutions[buzzword] such as spend analytics, people analytics, forensics analytics, expense analytics and supplier performance management.
