Into the cloud with data science

The combined opportunities arising from cloudification and data science accelerated Deanta’s strategy to exist in a hyperconnected space alongside publishers, creating a seamless movement of metadata and content across all stages of production, virtually. In 2019, out of our Dublin office, we began building the next generation of our publishing production platform, Lanstad.
