ABOUT JANEIRO DIGITAL

Janeiro Digital was launched in 2009 by brothers Justin and Jonathan Bingham. Led by their mission to harness the decentralized web to address the need for greater personal data value and security, Janeiro Digital builds transformative solutions for the individual benefit as well as the collective.

For over a decade, Janeiro Digital’s core business has supported large companies and institutions with digital transformation services. In 2019, Janeiro Digital began collaborating with Tim Berners-Lee, ‘Father of the world wide web’, in establishing open standards for the decentralized web through the Solid Project. Janeiro Digital’s CTO Justin Bingham is an Editor and co-author of the Solid Protocol specification with Sir Tim. Justin and the team are also closely involved in the evolution of the Solid ecosystem, including data interoperability patterns, secure data boundaries, developer tooling, and frictionless end user experience. The company developed XFORM as a platform designed to provide interoperability for decentralized Personal Data Stores within enterprise architectures.

The XFORM platform bridges the gap between existing IT systems running in organizations across the globe with personal data stored in decentralized personal data stores, effectively acting as a personal data exchange for an individual’s data.

Over the past two years Janeiro Digital has successfully deployed XFORM within the NHS. There, these technologies provide a decentralized approach to recording and sharing data by integrating with existing ecosystems, giving both clinicians and patients a unified record that will enable ultimate patient-centered care. Other pilot schemes and proof of concepts are being worked on with government and enterprise organizations.

Janeiro Digital partners with RSA, KPMG, and Deloitte.
