What We Do

Catelas provides solutions that help companies in two fundamental ways:

1. Relationship Forensics for Early Case Assessment, Information Security & Compliance

2. Organizational Analysis for Sales Force Optimization & Management Dashboard

Catelas Relationship Forensics is a fundamentally new approach to the investigative paradigm. By automatically uncovering who is talking to whom, when they connected and how well they know each other, Catelas identifies both the internal and external people most likely involved. This allows Catelas to:

• deliver an Early Case Assessment report within a week of data load
• determine who to collect BEFORE collecting a single email
• uncover information theft from employees to external webmail accounts without searching
• perform Compliance audits across the entire organization without using keywords

• Plan, manage and measure organizational change such as mergers; and better manage large scale or geographically dispersed projects
• Drive revenue growth by identifying and breaking down the silos that exist across the sales & distribution channels: improve cross-selling, increase sales win ratios and identify key revenue streams under competitive threat

Catelas is deployed in days across very large global organizations with little to no operational disruption. Catelas’s time to value is measured in weeks with an ROI measured in months.
