Ombud is redefining how enterprises research, select, and implement
technology. Today, worldwide Information Technology spending is a $3.8
Trillion market. Ombud has one humble goal: to manage 1% of Global IT
purchasing decisions in the next 60 months.
Ombud is a privately funded company headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
The company was founded in the spring of 2011 by a team of friends and
executors who have built some great software institutions, i.e., one of
our founders is the CEO of Cloudera. The name, Ombud, is derived from
Ombudsman, "a person who acts as a trusted intermediary between an
organization and some internal or external constituency while
representing not only but mostly the broad scope of constituent
interests." We are building a platform to do just that at Ombud.
