Initiate software is the most accurate, scalable and rapidly deployed offering available for govern­ment agencies that want to deliver the right data at the right time to all critical decision points, while protecting data privacy and security. More than 80 companies and organizations have deployed Initiate’s solutions and the company has analyzed over 2 billion data records.

Organizations using Initiate Identity Hub™ solutions create complete, real-time views of data from all applications and data sources to more effectively manage, control, analyze and integrate customer, patient or constituent information and relationships while protecting data privacy. The software combines the ability to handle hundreds of millions of records in sub-second response times with unsurpassed matching and linking technology that identifies and resolves information routinely, even when there is duplicate, fragmented or incomplete data. Unlike alternatives, which take months or years to implement, require extensive business rules and impose intrusive changes on current systems and business processes, Initiate’s software is rapidly deployed in weeks, does not require business rules for data accuracy, and works within an orga­nization’s current environment without disrupting systems or processes.

Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Initiate has analyzed billions of individual records for hundreds of customers during its nine-year history.
