Its OcientAIQ Unified Data Platform combines data ingestion, analytics, governance and orchestration in one system. It helps organisations deploy AI agents and applications that can analyse high-volume data in real time.

The platform is designed for industries that rely on continuously growing datasets. It allows AI agents and analysts to query and interpret information while maintaining controls over data access, policies and usage.

Ocient runs data analysis within its own platform rather than relying on a language model to perform the analysis. This helps organisations produce results that can be reproduced and audited while reducing data movement and token costs.

Ocient has raised $260 million in total funding following its latest $100 million Series C round.

The company has not shared details of its earlier funding rounds in the announcement.
