About
We work closely with executive leadership and business and technology management to guide them through the complex challenges of secure, enterprise automation with proven strategies and data-driven solutions.
Our Expertise
Noetic was formed during the depths of the 2008 credit crisis to provide several major financial services organizations with advice and data architectures to help remediate serious accounting and valuation challenges. Noetic quickly became the “go to” team for advanced financial data architectures and with the first release of the Noetic Master Model in 2010, we became the market leader for serious investors, regulators and banking technologists.
