— Erik Baklid, CEO of ayfie Group

When ayfie Inc. took off in 2016, our main goal was to establish position in the US as an advanced text and content analysis company. And while many of our clients realized significant benefits from our standalone solution, we recognized the need for something more — and that ‘more’ was available right at our fingertips with our sister company, VirtualWorks. Now under one roof, ayfie Group will provide search, processing, analysis and GDPR compliance solutions for companies’ large amounts of unstructured data – giving them the ability to access data more efficiently and make sense of it to make better business decisions
