What Microdata Group does

Microdata Group (legal name Microdata Group srl) is an Italian business process outsourcing (BPO) and document management provider founded in 1990 in Cremona, Italy, which celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2025. The company serves regulated industries — banking and finance, insurance, energy and utilities, GDO/large retail, and industry and pharma — delivering end-to-end outsourcing of back-office, contact center, mortgage processing, KYC/AML compliance, contract management, claims administration, and document lifecycle operations. It operates exclusively in the Italian market from four owned operational sites and storage facilities between Cremona and Milan, with a registered legal office in Milan and operational headquarters at the CRIT innovation district in Cremona.

The company's technology stack centers on three proprietary, trademarked AI-powered platforms designed to interoperate: Next Generation (a microservices-architected document intelligence platform using AI, neural networks, and machine learning to classify and index data from documents, files, emails, and PEC), Younique (a customer-centric workflow and practice-management platform with real-time monitoring, including an insurance policy-management module), and YOUlink (a webapp enabling end customers to securely submit documents and images through guided acquisition, including camera capture). Supporting methods include FFDC (Free Form Data Capture) for progressive machine-learning data extraction from images. Infrastructure runs on a proprietary private cloud with hyperconvergent, synchronous architecture across two owned Italian data centers holding 300+ TB of data, and the company is an AgID-accredited digital conservator (since 2015) certified to ISO 27001, 9001, 45001, and 22301.

Microdata Group monetizes primarily through BPO services priced on a per-procedure/per-case transaction model (converting client fixed costs into variable costs tied to processing volumes), complemented by managed document-management and norm-compliant digital-preservation services, platform-as-a-service access to its proprietary platforms, and professional compliance/consulting services. Go-to-market is a direct enterprise B2B field-sales motion supported by event-driven engagement (notably CETIF research participation), with each client assigned a dedicated team. The company is a privately held subsidiary controlled by Dedagroup S.p.A. (Trento) under Article 2497 of the Italian Civil Code, operating alongside other Deda-group entities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and no revenue figures are available.
