Janes is the leading provider of timely, verified, validated, unbiased and relevant foundational military intelligence in a world crowded with increasingly unreliable data. The data is used for a range of use cases including as a critical input into situational awareness intelligence assessments, operational planning, personnel readiness and logistics.

Janes core offering is a recurring subscription service including both an online web-portal and API solution that enables customers to view, collate, analyze, and download the world’s largest collection of foundational data, intelligence, and news. This ranges from detailed defense equipment specifications to country risk and security intelligence, to Janes proprietary industry forecasts.

In December 2019, Montagu completed the acquisition of Janes from IHS Markit. Janes is now a standalone business of scale, led by CEO, Blake Bartlett, growing at double-digit growth rates.

The Business has transformed from its heritage in publishing to a digitally driven, data, information and intelligence provider with a market leading AI-enabled technology backbone. Janes data is now interconnected in a unique knowledge graph (with 190m+ assured connections), leveraging a proprietary defense data model and ontology, which can be integrated with customer data into high and low side systems.

Today, Janes is at an inflexion point, where after investment in GTM, product and technology, the Business is poised to accelerate growth by embedding its data into customer systems through a combination of direct sales, partnerships and M&A, across the 5eyes and NATO.
