Harbr Announces Expansion into Data Sharing Market with Release of Harbr 5.0

LONDON, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Harbr, an award-winning provider of data commerce and distribution solutions, has announced Harbr 5.0. This release adds advanced data sharing features that extend Harbr's platform beyond data commerce. Designed to meet the evolving needs of data owners and producers at large enterprises, Harbr 5.0 offers powerful capabilities that transform how organizations and users get value from data.

Harbr 5.0 empowers Chief Data Officers (CDOs) and their teams to share and use data while retaining governance and control. The platform features flexible and secure cloud workspaces, pre-configured for specific use cases such as data quality, data matching, model development and execution, analytics, and more. Harbr empowers users with complete flexibility around format, location, and method of data delivery, overcoming the constraints that typically obstruct data initiatives. In addition, a powerful new AI feature will allow non-technical users to perform sophisticated analysis with simple natural language prompts.

"These new capabilities help us fulfill our original mission: to make it easy for any user to find any data, across any boundary, thereby reducing time to value and unlocking innovation. Having delivered award-winning data commerce experiences at scale for companies like Moody's Analytics and CoreLogic, our platform has now evolved to support general data sharing and collaboration with a level of flexibility not available on other platforms. Our team has worked incredibly hard to bring these features to market and we're excited by what our customers are already doing with them." said Anthony Cosgrove, co-founder of Harbr.
