Company History
benchANT offers a benchmarking-as-a-service platform for cloud and database decision-making and optimisation. The company is a spin-off of the University of Ulm, Germany and is funded by the EXIST research transfer grant until the end of 2022.
benchANT is based on the long-standing research activities of the two founders, Dr. Daniel Seybold and Dr. Jörg Domaschka. The obvious need for quantitative decision-making is based on meaningful performance measurement data in the two IT domains of public cloud and database management systems led to the creation of the company. The founding team was completed by Jan Ocker, who can look back on many years of eCommerce experience in IT project management and process optimization.
Since February 2022, benchANT is an independent company in the legal form of a limited liability company ("GmbH"). The founding team also represents the management.
