Cognite specializes in managing industrial data and facilitating digital transformation for industries that rely on physical assets, such as oil and gas, power and utilities, and manufacturing. Its main product, Cognite Data Fusion, integrates and organizes data from various sources, making it easier for businesses to analyze and utilize this information effectively. This process, known as data contextualization, enhances the relevance of data for better decision-making. Cognite operates on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, allowing clients to subscribe to its software, which provides a consistent revenue stream and access to ongoing updates. Additionally, Cognite offers consulting services to assist clients in optimizing their use of the software. The company's goal is to help asset-heavy industries improve their operations through effective data management and digital solutions.
