enables telcos to ingest, curate and analyze data to increase user privacy, 
improve customer experience and drive growth. It transforms raw, network-level 
mobile data into actionable intelligence to improve customer experience and 
retention. 

TruFactor is partnering with Microsoft to bring its secure data platform to 
market through Microsoft Azure, which delivers enterprise-grade security, 
best-in-class machine learning APIs and global scale. TruFactor will use Azure 
Data Lake Storage as its foundation for delivering secure, massively scalable 
data lake functionality that is tightly integrated with all Azure Analytics 
services.

"Telcos are increasingly under pressure to deliver responsible and secure data 
management in a world driven by intense competition, rapid technological 
changes and accountable privacy practices," said Piyush Shah, Co-Founder, 
InMobi Group and President, Marketing Cloud and TruFactor. "Built with 
consumers and businesses in mind, TruFactor exists at the intersection of truth 
and fact – emerging as the one true factor that enterprises can trust for 
growth."

As InMobi's partner and TruFactor's first customer, Sprint is already 
experiencing the platform's benefits. Built on the foundation of trust and 
data, TruFactor upholds the highest standard of governance, policy and 
regulation to ensure the privacy and security of consumer information through a 
robust anonymization process. 

The TruFactor platform has been developed through active collaboration with 
consumer advocacy groups and takes into consideration guidelines issued by 
privacy regulators. Designed to provide the user with complete transparency, 
choice and control over how their data is used, the platform comes with a 
secure and consumer focused, privacy-first policy framework and a scalable data 
management layer.  

"We're pleased to be working with InMobi and TruFactor to bring to market an 
open and extensible platform for telcos," said Gavriella Schuster, Corporate 
Vice President, One Commercial Partner (OCP), Microsoft Corp. "Our aim at 
Microsoft is to empower enterprises to derive more value from their data and 
deliver world-class customer experiences. This announcement builds on our 
existing work with InMobi and brings together three of our core business 
aspects around cloud, AI and user privacy."

Available today, TruFactor helps telcos transform data into insightful and 
actionable ingredients across a variety of business cases.
