There’s a new way to hunt for data

Explorium instantly connects you to a wide variety of rich premium, public, and proprietary external data sources from a single external data management platform, ensuring the quality, coverage and compliance of the data so you don’t have to.

What is a Signal?

A signal is a property or a characteristic of an entity that is derived from the data collected for this entity. A signal provides external information (behavioral, demographic, financial, etc.) about the entity to help draw insights and make decisions around it. Signals can be numeric or not, but in their numeric representation they can be used as features for machine learning models or signal data analysis.
