NowVertical Launches DataCatalyst on Microsoft Azure Marketplace, Unlocking Enterprise AI at Scale

/EIN News/ -- TORONTO, April 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NowVertical Group Inc. (TSXV: NOW) ("NowVertical" or the "Company"), a leading data and AI solutions provider, today announced the launch of its flagship DataCatalyst Solution on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, reinforcing the Company’s strategic positioning at the intersection of enterprise AI, data infrastructure modernisation, and Microsoft ecosystem expansion.

Built to address the growing urgency around AI adoption, DataCatalyst is a ready-to-deploy, Azure-native solution designed to unify, enrich, and operationalise enterprise data – propelling clients forward on their data journey. It enables seamless, secure, and real-time data movement, cutting time-to-value on data products by up to 50% and reducing integration costs by up to 30%, laying the essential groundwork for Generative AI, automation, and real-time analytics.

“Many enterprises are eager to embrace AI, but they’re held back by fragmented systems, poor data quality, and the complexity and cost of maintaining well governed data pipelines across their organisation. We developed DataCatalyst in direct response to this growing demand for real-world AI enablement,” said Sandeep Mendiratta, CEO of NowVertical. “Reports show 74% of companies struggle to realise meaningful ROI from their AI initiatives, DataCatalyst gives our clients a secure and accelerated path to operationalising their AI investments, while delivering measurable ROI from their existing data estate.”

This launch builds on NowVertical’s strategic initiative to create a Microsoft Center of Excellence (COE) launched 26^th November 2024 — a global unit comprising more than 50 certified Azure professionals across India, LATAM, and the UK. NowVertical has delivered over 50 large scale Azure-based projects for enterprise clients, helping organisations optimise operations, reduce costs, and fast-track their data transformation journey.
