History

During the 2010s, K2view was the data migration platform for several global telecommunications M&A and transformation projects. These included the Telefónica Argentina transformation by Amdocs in 2012, AT&T's acquisitions of DIRECTV in 2014, Iusacell in 2015, and Nextel Mexico in 2015, the Kcell JSC transformation by Amdocs in 2015, the Liberty Global–Vodafone merger in 2016, and the Entel Chile transformation by Ericsson in 2017.[5]
K2view was granted US patents for its Cloud Database Management System (CDBMS) in 2019,[6] and for its Encryption Directed Database Management System and method in 2020.[7][8]
In 2020, the company raised US$28M in first-round financing led by Forestay Capital and with the participation of Genesis Partners.[3][9][10]
