Centific Enterprise Data: what the seller program offers
Centific pays companies to license records of how staff work across enterprise applications, and publishes no price range. Centific says "You license your data. You never hand it over.", yet the same page describes an asset-purchase agreement for wind-downs. It says the first accepted contribution usually comes within six to ten weeks.1,2,3,4,5
Its page says "You never hand it over", and also describes an asset-purchase agreement for wind-downs and "a one-time sale".3,4
Its FAQ wording is near-identical to Appen's, including on wind-downs and access rosters.7

How much does it pay?
Centific publishes no price range
Centific prices on volume, applications, complexity, quality and comparable availability, and gives a written estimate after the first conversation. Centific pays for extraction, anonymization and transfer, and says there are no setup fees or deductions.2,8

What it buys
What Centific wants
Centific wants operational records that show how staff decide, handle exceptions and work across applications, with finance and accounting, healthcare operations, sales and deal workflows, people operations and ITSM as examples. It claims read-only access across 188 supported applications. No headcount, years or region floor is stated, and its form accepts operating, winding-down and already closed companies.1,10
What happens to the files?
How Centific handles your records
Centific extracts the data itself, and you choose applications, teams and periods, with exclusions enforced in extraction code. It says the work is automated, AI labs and third parties do not see raw data, engineers do not manually review content, and access is logged to a named, time-bound roster. Personal data is removed, with synthetic rewriting when needed, and sample sign-off is required.3,11
Centific's page states no exclusivity terms, retention, deletion or buyer disclosure. It starts with a mutual NDA and puts terms in writing before extraction, so ask for those terms first.12,13
Near-identical pages
Centific's and Appen's FAQs read almost the same
Centific's FAQ wording closely tracks Appen's, down to "Usually not, but timing" on wind-downs and "named, time-bound roster" on access. We do not know why, and it says nothing about whether their contracts match.7
The company
Who runs Centific, and its Trustpilot reviews
Centific Global Solutions, Inc. is based in Redmond, Washington, and Fortune names Venkat Rangapuram as CEO and reports a $60M Series A led by Granite Asia. Fortune also reports that it began as the US division of Pactera, which a Chinese state-owned company acquired in 2020, and that the US business was carved out and later became independent. That is history, and we did not verify today's ownership beyond that article.14,15,16
Centific's Trustpilot page shows 1.5 out of 5 from 29 reviews. The reviews we sampled on 2026-10-30 came from contract workers and tool users, not businesses that licensed data.6,17
