About AnaData

Three decades of showing up.

AnaData was founded in 1993 in the New York metro corridor — steps from Wall Street — by engineers who believed that the most important thing a software firm could do was stay close to the work. Three decades later, that hasn't changed. We're still run by the founder. Our seniors still write code. And 90% of our revenue is repeat business.

Our story

Built slow. Built to last.

We've never chased growth for its own sake. Every office, every practice, and every product line was opened because a client problem demanded it — not because a board deck required it.

The result is a firm where every capability we have is battle-tested and every senior we deploy has done it before.

1993 — Founded, New York

Senior-only from day one.

2003 — Fortune 500 and regulated environments

Financial services depth. Enterprise credibility.

2019 — Cybersecurity practice and Dubai HQ

Regional headquarters. InfoSec as a first-class offering.

2023–present — Products and AI

ClearGRC. ClearDhan. Clear Query. Clear Analytics.

How we work

Three things we don't compromise on.

These aren't values we write on walls. They're constraints we've accepted that explain why some clients don't choose us — and why the ones who do rarely leave.

01

Senior-only delivery

We do not staff juniors under a senior to make the math work. Every engineer who talks to your team, writes your code, or reviews your architecture has 10+ years of relevant, production experience. This limits how fast we can scale. That's the point.

02

Domain first, technology second

We've delivered trading platforms, compliance systems, and healthcare data pipelines. In each case, the engineering decisions were shaped by domain constraints most generalist firms don't know exist. We learn your business before we touch your stack.

03

Long-term accountability

We don't hand off and disappear. Our engagements average multi-year partnerships — not because we lock clients in, but because long-term relationships are the only way to build systems that survive the organization changing around them.

Leadership

The people behind the work.

AnaData's leadership team is made up of the engineers, architects, and operators who built this firm from the ground up. No MBA hires. No revolving-door executives. The same names on our org chart as a decade ago.
