What Bim Bam Bum S.A. does

Bim Bam Bum S.A. is a privately held company headquartered in Guayaquil, Ecuador, founded in 1995 and employing 501–1,000 staff. The aggregated analytical inputs describe the entity's operations as an AI-powered emerging-markets intelligence platform operating under the EMIS brand (an ISI Markets product), aggregating company, industry, news, macroeconomic, and M&A data from more than 4,000 international and local sources across 197 markets and 370+ industries, with coverage of more than 10 million listed and private companies.

The platform combines machine learning and generative AI to accelerate research, surfacing an embedded conversational AI assistant ('AskISI' or 'AskEMIS') that lets users query trusted data, insights, and analysis in natural language. Core product modules include the unified EMIS platform, EMIS Insights proprietary industry reports authored by locally based industry specialists, and the EMIS DealWatch database of M&A and ECM transactions with history back to 2012. Delivery options include API, data feeds, an Excel Add-in, and custom integrations into enterprise CRM, BI, and research-portal environments.

Revenue is generated principally through enterprise subscriptions sold on multi-year contracts via a sales-led go-to-market executed through Account Managers and 30-minute platform demonstrations, with secondary revenue from individual industry reports (USD 495–995) and M&A Deals spreadsheets (USD 250 base for 50 deals plus USD 5 per additional deal) sold through the EMIS Store. The customer base spans corporates (strategic planning and sales), financial services (investment, credit, and risk decisions), PE/M&A and buyside firms, professional services, government and trade-promotion bodies (e.g., Procolombia, Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership), and academic institutions. The registered group parent is ISI Emerging Markets Group Limited (London), with Echo Bidco Limited as ultimate parent (registered in England and Wales, company number 12577583).
