Testimonials:
“The partnership with Aries will enable us to realise our global aspirations for the business, and continue to deliver ongoing product innovation, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, to empower companies to simplify their workplace technology and the experiences their people have with it.”

“Cloudera and Octopai represent a perfect symbiosis by bringing together centralised data and metadata management. By combining Octopai's metadata capabilities with Cloudera's comprehensive data, analytics, and AI platform, we're addressing the critical challenge of understanding and governing data across multi-cloud and on-premises environments.”

“David at ICON was a critical member of our team for months offering advice, ideas and pragmatic suggestions with positivity and good humour. He built excellent working relationships with both our side and that of our acquirer. He was always accessible, immensely capable and extraordinarily diligent. The whole team were impressed by his knowledge, working style and output. Highly recommended with zero hesitation.”
