Huwise

What Huwise does

Huwise (formerly Opendatasoft, rebranded in 2025) is a Paris-headquartered SaaS provider of a data product marketplace platform, founded in 2011 and legally operated as OPENDATASOFT SAS. The platform enables organizations to package, govern, distribute, and consume data as reusable products across business, IT, and data teams, with the stated goal of democratizing data access and accelerating AI-ready data delivery. Its core technology consists of modular capabilities including a Data Catalog, Business Glossary, Metadata Management, Data Lineage, Data Quality, User & Access Management, Data Visualization, API & Export, and AI Search, built on cloud infrastructure primarily hosted on AWS across regions in Europe, North America, and Australia, with Outscale providing French data residency.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise-led and consultative, supported by a self-service website layer (demo hub, user guide, data hub) and partner channels including AWS Smart City Competency and a flagship 2026 partnership with Precisely to embed the platform into its Data Integrity Suite. Huwise serves over 350 clients globally across primary verticals including Energy & Utilities (Schneider Electric, UK Power Networks, Elia, Hydro-Québec, Cadent, E-REDES), Central and Local Government (Bahrain iGA, Qatar, City of Vancouver, Western Parkland Councils), Transport & Mobility (Infrabel, SNCF), Banking & Insurance (Banque de France, BPCE), and emerging Healthcare and Research segments (Pierre Fabre, Lamie Mutuelle, NIHR, KAPSARC). Its revenue model is SaaS subscription-based with quote-based enterprise pricing and SLA-backed delivery.

Recent strategic activity has emphasized repositioning around AI agents and data product marketplaces as a category, evidenced by the MCP/AI Agents module launch, the Huwy AI agent, Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader recognition, and the Precisely partnership. The company has raised approximately $36.3 million across four disclosed funding rounds (2015, 2016, 2018, 2022), with the most recent $25 million round in January 2022 led by Demeter with participation from Banque des Territoires, ODYSSÉE Ventures, and Eiffel Investment Group. Leadership is anchored by co-founder and CEO Jean-Marc Lazard and co-founder/CTO David Thoumas, with the company operating independently without a parent entity.

Direct peers

• Alation: Enterprise data catalog and intelligence platform with a data marketplace/marketplace-style product, competing head-to-head with Huwise for the same data leader buyer (CDO) persona and overlapping governance and metadata management features.
• Collibra: Data intelligence/governance platform offering a data marketplace and catalog capabilities targeting large enterprises, directly comparable to Huwise's Data Catalog, Business Glossary, and Marketplace modules.
• Atlan: Modern data catalog with marketplace and lineage features aimed at cloud-native enterprises — closely comparable to Huwise on AI-ready governance and self-service data discovery.
• data.world: Cloud-native data catalog and knowledge graph platform with a data marketplace offering; competes with Huwise for mid-market and enterprise buyers focused on metadata, governance, and collaborative data sharing.

Broad incumbents

• Informatica: Large incumbent data integration and governance suite (Informatica Data Marketplace, CLAIRE GPT) covering catalog, lineage, quality, and marketplace — broader portfolio than Huwise with overlapping enterprise buyers.
• Snowflake: Cloud data platform whose Snowflake Marketplace and native governance features increasingly overlap with Huwise's data product marketplace offering — a strategic threat as buyers consolidate spend onto hyperscale data clouds.
• Databricks: Lakehouse and Unity Catalog platform with marketplace and now Genie/agent features; competes with Huwise for AI-ready data infrastructure budgets inside enterprise data teams.
• Precisely: Data integrity and governance suite that — following the May 2026 partnership — resells Huwise technology as its Data Product Marketplace; relevant as both partner and partial competitor in data quality/governance.
• AWS Data Exchange: Hyperscaler-native data marketplace with broad third-party data listings; competes with Huwise's external data-sharing use cases while simultaneously serving as Huwise's primary cloud infrastructure partner.
• Talend (now part of Qlik): Data integration and governance vendor (Talend Data Fabric) with catalog, quality, and stewardship capabilities that overlap with Huwise's data catalog and quality modules in enterprise accounts.
