alt Hacker NewsAFAIK their business model is to send skilled engineers to client sites to be consultants and developers. Their selling point is not some product/code per-se (ie. they have a code base with existing analysis tools, but nothing crazy), but the fact that they jump into whatever situation and grind through problems.
The problem is that they also keep close ties to law-enforcement and (para-)military clients, and while they promise to keep your data safe, they would never inform you if they received a warrant from the government to share the data.

If that's an accurate description it's very puzzling that European countries buy services from them.
They dump all your stuff into a schemaless database and then attach widgets to it.
That's literally it.
It's not even particularly good technology.
So, they’re basically a traditional consultancy firm focused on data analytics, particularly record linkage?
