UBIC, which specialises in international litigation support and big data analysis, has announced that it is to change its corporate name and the corporate names of various subsidiaries to Fronteo, subject to shareholder approval.
The name change serves two purposes: one is to bring together more obviously the companies which UBIC has acquired.
The other reflects the transition from UBIC’s development phase to what it calls “the industrialisation and monetisation phase”. Plans include the expansion of UBIC’s AI technology into healthcare, business intelligence and marketing, the analysis of human behaviour patterns and, not least, the expansion of UBIC’s eDiscovery business following the acquisition of Evolve Discovery.
