Paris, 1st February 2023 – Black Tiger, the French software publisher and leader in the European market for big data platforms, announces that it has raised €14.5M from Arcole and Finance&Invest.brussels to finance its development.
As early as 2015, Black Tiger created the first “Master Data Platform” – an innovative technology allowing the simplification and absolute control of data throughout its life cycle.
This platform allows companies to collect, store, intelligently exploit and effectively use all types of data, thus improving the technical and business user experience, to enable them, ultimately, to increase their productivity.
Plug & play and agnostic, the platform addresses GDPR compliance issues in a unique and innovative way. It natively embeds the skills of data experts within its technology and has the ability to process data from any type of source, making Data Virtualization effective.
This investment of €14.5M allows Black Tiger to pursue its innovation projects to further develop and improve its technologies, as well as strengthening its position on the European market.
