Antuit will integrate into its portfolio AuriQ’s suite of data management solutions including the company’s flagship product Essentia. Antuit’s flagship product Essentia is a cloud-based solution designed to help companies manage, process and analyze vast amounts of unstructured, semi-structured and structured data. Essentia addresses common issues when working with big, complex and dark data.

Founded in 2013, Antuit is a Big Data analytics solutions company that enables enterprise clients to unlock business value from "big and little data" through a spectrum of data management, visualization, predictive and optimization solutions.

Antuit has offices and operates in  New York, Chicago, Dallas, San Jose, Seattle, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Auckland, Bangalore and Pune, India.
