With an aim to transform the industries through technological innovations, Gridsum Holding, Inc. [NASDAQ: GSUM] was founded by its Chairman and CEO Guosheng Qi and a few of his Tsinghua University undergraduate classmates in 2005, even before ‘bigdata’ became a buzzword. The founding team believed that the need to use distributed computing power to tackle the complexity and volume of data thatwas growing at exponential speed would present tremendous challenges for enterprises, thus creating opportunities for companies with the right technology and expertise in the big data space. The company is named ‘Gridsum’to symbolize the combination of ‘Grid,’ representing grid computing ordistributed computing and ‘Sum,’ the simplest form of data analytics, explains the core competency of the company, delivering scalable and high-performance data analytics solutions through distributed computing power. Gridsum evolved over the past 12 years by continuously investing in its big data and AI platform technologies while delivering big data, AI products and solutions toclients from one industry or domain to the next. “Now companies across industries have the advantage of our full stack of solutions to collaborate and expand their businesses and take a data-driven approach to achieve smart growth,”says John Liu, CTO of Gridsum.

早在“大数据”还未成为热词之前，国双就在董事长兼首席执行官祁国晟和几位清华大学本科同学的努力下于2005年创建，旨在通过技术创新为行业带来变革。创始团队认为，面对以指数速度增长的数据复杂性和数量，需要借助分布式计算能力来应对，而这将为企业带来巨大挑战，但对于拥有大数据领域中正确技术和专业知识的公司来说，就创造了机会。该公司名为“Gridsum”，代表网格计算或分布式计算的“网格（Grid）”和最简单的数据分析形式“Sum”求和的结合，这正是公司核心竞争力，即通过分布式计算的力量，提供具有可扩展性的高性能数据分析解决方案。国双在过去12年中不断发展壮大，持续投资于大数据和人工智能平台技术，为越来越多行业或领域的客户提供大数据、人工智能产品和解决方案。“如今各行业的公司都能借助我们全套解决方案的优势，展开协作并扩展业务，并采用数据驱动的方法来实现智能化的增长，”国双首席技术官刘激扬先生如是说。

The motto of Gridsum is ‘Data Focus, Value Creation.' Gridsum's Big Data, AI, platform and software solutions, power the growth of its clients by helping them in improving the efficiency and effectiveness in product R&D, digital marketing, and business operations while empowering the digital transformation of the clients and the industries.
