About Aprigo

Headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, Aprigo’s on-demand data management platform helps thousands of organizations worldwide gain instant visibility into their unstructured data with the company’s actionable data dashboards. The award-winning Aprigo NINJA is the simplest way for business-savvy IT managers to quickly reduce storage costs and control access to sensitive data.

We’re focused on helping IT professionals fight the security and storage utilization challenges that arise as a result of explosive unstructured data (file) growth. While IT budgets are either being slashed or are stagnant at best, the IT department is still responsible for making sure that only the right people have access to the right data. They’re responsible for making sure everything runs smoothly despite the fact that every employee is a cook in the kitchen, creating, moving, sharing, copying, and giving access to data constantly.
