Convergence Data

Technical Data Experts

More Than 20 Years of Experience

 

Convergence Data is a one-stop data software and service company for all of your technical data needs. Our software eliminates the clutter in your data to optimize your engineering and marketing outreach. Our services help you realize top value and cost savings with newly organized data.

 

But that’s not where we started. 

 

Convergence Data was born as a company within Hearst Business Media. From the beginning, we’ve provided our customers with the information they need to drive rapid, high-value decision-making—more commonly known as data services

 

We came face-to-face with challenging data environments that could have been our setback, but instead, our company was able to develop specialized software to assist with each of our solutions: data services, competitive intelligence, image services and design for retrieval. 

 

For 20+ years, Convergence Data has:

 

  • Made it easier for engineers to find and reuse parts.
  • Exposed costs savings in parts spend.
  • Provided side-by-side comparisons of our clients’ products versus competitors.
  • Enabled ecommerce readiness with the back-end data infrastructure needed to power a seamless online experience.  
  • And more!

 

Today, Convergence Data uses a system that is better—not just bigger—to provide niche solutions for our clients’ parts classification process.
