GoodData accelerates with Q4 innovation and growth

GoodData reported record Q4 growth in product innovation and AI. The company’s strong finish to 2025 included the launch of its Intelligence Layer, an expansion in financial services, and accessibility milestones confirming compliance with international standards for inclusive, governed analytics.

GoodData closed 2025 with strong fourth-quarter growth and a surge in AI product development, highlighting its strategy to deliver trustworthy, governed decision intelligence at scale.

The company reported a 50% year-on-year increase in product releases for Q4 2025 compared with the previous year, supported by a three-fold rise in AI-focused development across agentic workflows. “Our performance in Q4 shows that speed and trust are not mutually exclusive,” said Roman Stanek, CEO and Founder of GoodData. “With the launch of the Intelligence Layer and our focus on accessibility and governance, we are giving enterprises the guardrails they need to embrace agentic AI. A 296% increase in AI development activity demonstrates the velocity at which we are moving to help customers turn data into intelligent action.”

A major deployment for a global payments partner onboarded over 2,000 client organisations and 13,600 users, delivering a 40% higher activation rate and 27-fold user growth in the Middle East and Africa. The company said the rollout sets a foundation for continued regional expansion in 2026.

Intelligence Layer and accessibility progress —

GoodData’s newly launched Intelligence Layer aims to unify governed, explainable AI across enterprise data environments. The release introduced the Analytics Catalogue for asset discovery and management, a Semantic Quality Agent to monitor data integrity, and AI Memory for contextual analytics.

Further analytical capabilities included Key Driver Analysis — enabling users to pinpoint metrics influencing performance — and Aggregate Awareness, designed to enhance query speed by using pre-aggregated data.

The company also underscored accessibility as a strategic priority. An independent Accessibility Conformance Report confirmed that GoodData Cloud aligns with WCAG 2.1 Level AA, Section 508, and EN 301 549 standards.

Industry innovation continued with the debut of Agentic AI for Financial Services, providing compliant, audit-ready AI agents for fraud detection and regulatory reporting. The business also strengthened its U.S. operations with the appointment of Tom Strachan to lead its North American expansion.

GoodData’s presence at Money20/20 in Las Vegas capped the quarter, supporting its momentum in financial services and consolidating its position as a platform for inclusive, governed enterprise AI.
