Cognite specializes in managing industrial data and facilitating digital transformation for asset-heavy industries like 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 rather than purchasing it outright, which provides a consistent revenue stream and ensures clients receive ongoing updates. Additionally, Cognite offers consulting services to assist clients in optimizing their use of the software. The company's goal is to help industries improve their operations through better data management and digital solutions.
