Notitia & Astrato partner to deliver AI cloud analytics

Notitia has announced a partnership with Astrato Analytics to provide AI-powered, cloud-based business intelligence solutions to clients in Australia.

Notitia is an Australian-owned firm specialising in data and digital transformation, while Astrato is described as a modern business intelligence (BI) platform developed for teams operating in cloud environments. Astrato was created by the team behind Vizlib, previously a Qlik extension company that reached USD $22 million in annual recurring revenue before its acquisition in 2023.

The Astrato platform allows users to build and share live-query, self-service analytics directly on their cloud data warehouse. It operates without requiring data extracts and is designed to work with cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, and Clickhouse.

Alex Avery, Notitia Managing Director and founder, said that Notitia is pleased to extend Astrato's platform to its client base. "Astrato is a smart addition to our analytics ecosystem, especially for cloud-first clients," Mr Avery said.

He highlighted the platform's accessible interface and its value to clients with limited in-house resource or high reporting requirements. "The no-code interface enables faster time to insight, particularly for businesses with lean internal teams or high reporting demands.

"It gives us another way to help our clients visualise and act on live data, where speed, flexibility, and embedded analytics are critical."

Astrato's warehouse-agnostic design allows it to function as an execution layer above major cloud data warehouses, enabling real-time interactions with data without the need to move or copy it.

Martin Mahler, Astrato CEO and founder, described the platform's role in the modern data ecosystem. "Astrato is the execution layer of the modern data stack," he said. "It connects directly to the cloud and gives teams a unified space to explore, act, and collaborate on data without duplication, IT bottlenecks, or licensing friction.

"Unlike legacy BI vendors pushing continuous price hikes, our usage-based model means customers only pay for what they consume, making Astrato accessible for both lean startups and global enterprises."

According to the company, Astrato has seen growing demand for AI-enabled analytics, resulting in a fivefold increase in revenue year-on-year and the successful closure of a USD $5 million seed funding round in April.

Mr Avery stated, "We're excited to announce our partnership and work with Astrato. Our shared goal is to help Australian businesses to leverage faster insights and data-driven decision making."

The agreement expands upon Notitia's existing alliances with vendors such as Qlik, Microsoft, and Databricks, ensuring clients have a suite of analytic tools to choose from according to their specific business needs. Mr Avery noted Astrato's suitability for clients wanting to streamline reporting or introduce interactive dashboards within existing platforms.

"Clients come to us to solve complex data challenges," he said. "Astrato gives us another way to respond—whether that's building internal self-service tools or publishing secure, external-facing insights."

Astrato was developed by the same team behind Vizlib and aims to address the requirements of the cloud-native era for business intelligence. The platform enables direct querying from cloud data warehouses, supporting a range of use cases from internal dashboards to customer-facing analytics and data products. Key sectors identified include healthcare, infrastructure, retail, and financial services, where timely insights and reusable analytic assets are considered important.

Mr Avery explained that Notitia acts as a vendor-agnostic consultancy to help clients select the most suitable technologies. "What matters is the right fit," he said. "Whether we're designing a self-service dashboard for a Primary Health Network or building an embedded solution for an FMCG client, we now have Astrato in our toolkit—and we're already seeing where it shines."

He also commented on the broader trends within the business intelligence market, stating that organisations are now looking beyond traditional desktop BI tools toward cloud-native, scalable solutions that can be integrated and embedded as needed. "Dashboards are no longer the endgame," he said. "It's about using data in the flow of work—whether that's planning, delivery, or decision-making.

"Astrato helps us support that evolution."
