What datera does

Datera s. r. o. is a Prague-based private technology company founded in 2011 that specializes in data storage infrastructure and AI-powered analytics for Czech enterprises and government institutions. The company operates two complementary lines of business: (1) proprietary software platforms — LISSA for investigative and deep-data analysis, EMMA for AI-powered contact center analytics, and the underlying Absolute Intelligence (AbsInt) platform for unstructured data processing; and (2) integration and resale of partner technologies including IBM Storage Scale, IBM Storage Sentinel, Infinidat arrays, i2 Analyst's Notebook, Denodo Platform, and NVIDIA infrastructure.

Technically, the products combine NLP (via Microsoft Azure Cognitive services), speech-to-text, generative AI integration (GPT-4o, Llama-2-70b, IBM watsonx.ai), and RAG-based knowledge retrieval. LISSA integrates with i2 Analyst's Notebook via SDK plugin for link analysis, and the infrastructure side has delivered storage deployments of up to 18 petabytes for supercomputer environments. Datera's technology positioning is that of an application-layer and integration specialist rather than a model or infrastructure developer.

Commercially, Datera generates revenue through annual subscription licenses for its proprietary software, hardware and infrastructure solution sales, and professional services including i2 Analyst's Notebook training (beginner, advanced, and comprehensive 5-day courses). The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales and its IBM Platinum Partner channel, targeting a customer base that includes Generali Česká pojišťovna (insurance), Skupina ČEZ (energy), CETIN (telecommunications), CESNET (research network), and Czech government ministries including Interior and Defense. The company is independently owned by founders Pavel Pokorný (General Director) and Jan Rančák (Director), with Pavel Prokop as Head of Data Integration, and holds ISO 27001, ISO 14001, ISO 20000-1, and ISO 9001:2016 certifications plus NBÚ security clearance for handling Confidential and Secret classified information.
