So, you’re sick of dark data too?

Welcome to the group. You’re among friends. We meet every Thursday night and take turns bringing refreshments.

After countless conversations with organizations about the mess their unstructured data was in, and the absence of an actual solution, we decided to do something about it.

Our purpose is simple: help organizations achieve Zero Dark Data — A state of complete visibility into what you own, confidence in how it’s governed, and control over what comes next.

Now, grab a donut and some burnt coffee and, if it’s your first time here, please feel free to share your data story.

Our Story

It started with frustration — the kind that comes from watching smart, capable organizations drown in data they couldn’t see, control, or trust. We saw it everywhere: file shares growing like weeds, cleanup projects that never seemed to end, and existing tools failing to provide any meaningful relief.

So, we built ActiveNav to fix it. Not another catch-all data platform, but purpose-built software designed to make unstructured data visible, manageable, and finally useful.

We’ve seen firsthand that lasting change requires understanding your data and acting on it. And more than a decade later, we’ve helped leading law firms, legal teams, and other organizations uncover hidden risks, cut costs, and turn their data estates into business assets. It’s why we exist: to give organizations the clarity they need to take control of their data.

What Clients Are Saying

In times of transition, it is crucial that agency heads work with their Senior Agency Official for Records Management and Agency Records Officers to ensure that the importance of records management during transition is communicated within the agency and that all agency officials and employees are properly briefed on their records management responsibilities.

Nick Oldham

For one site, in terms of labor savings, it would have taken a human over 9 years to accomplish what we did in a few months. For me, it’s not even about the cost savings, it’s that an actual physical human being couldn’t do this.
