Global IDs was founded in 2001 by Dr. Arka Mukherjee, a data management industry expert with extensive experience in master data management and data warehousing. By predicting the data deluge facing Fortune 500 companies, the Global IDs team was able to address the specific challenges of complex data environments almost 10 years before the advent of Big Data.

As scientists and engineers, we were interested in designing software that could organize information in complex data ecosystems with many databases. Having first understood the historical basis of why older software would not scale up to large data ecosystems, we pursued design principles that were based on complex adaptive systems. After much trial and error, we were able to create solutions that would work in enterprise environments, with the right levels of performance, security and non-perturbation.
