Omni acquires synaptic intelligence tool developer

Omni has acquired an artificial intelligence company that developed a platform to use brain-like techniques in helping operators and enterprise organizations make decisions.

Nara Logics opened for business in 2011 to build virtual AI advisers that provide real-time and explainable recommendations across different data environments. The company does this by leaning on synaptic intelligence, which refers to how the brain stores memories and learns without forgetting the past.

By acquiring Nara Logics, Omni is looking to further build out its software offerings for decision pipelines in classified and other operational settings. Financial terms of the transaction announced Tuesday were not disclosed.

Analysts, operators and commanders are in the intended user base for Nara Logics’ Synaptic Intelligence Platform. The idea is to provide them with an explainable AI offering that completes the data processing cycle.

Nathan Wilson, one of the original cofounders of Nara Logics in 2011, is a research scientist from MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences that designed the platform architecture to operate in a similar manner to biological neural structures.

The company describes the platform’s current user base as including financial and government analysts, who are responsible for processing multi-source data and prioritizing events in context.

Omni is owned by Madison Dearborn Partners, which acquired the software integrator in the summer of 2024.
