About InforSense

InforSense Ltd. was a developer of high-performance business and scientific intelligence software, specializing in large-scale data mining and workflow solutions. The company was founded in 1999 by Professor Yike Guo to commercialize technology developed at Imperial College, London. Guo later transitioned from CEO to Chief Technology Officer to lead the company's technology and innovation strategy. David Bennett, with over two decades of experience in the software industry, subsequently took over as CEO.

The firm's core product was a web-based platform that enabled users to integrate, automate, analyze, and visualize complex data from multiple sources. This technology was designed to be highly configurable and rapidly implementable, setting it apart from standard business intelligence tools. InforSense catered to organizations in various sectors, including life sciences, healthcare, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals, that required the ability to interpret large volumes of diverse data for research and development. Its platform facilitated data integration, web-based interactive analytics, and decision support.

The company was venture-backed, with investors including Elaia, Beringea, and Fleming Family & Partners. On June 26, 2009, InforSense was acquired by ID Business Solutions Ltd (IDBS) in an all-cash transaction. The acquisition was intended to combine InforSense's data integration and analytics with IDBS's data management solutions to create a comprehensive infrastructure for R&D organizations. The InforSense brand and products continued to be developed post-acquisition, with IDBS releasing updated versions of the software suite.
