DataFlow Group is a Dubai-based company that accepts payments to provide document verification and background screening and immigration compliance services. Recently, DataFlow Group document verification services have been criticized[by whom?] due to deterioration in service quality, excessive delays in processing times and poor transparency.[1][2][3] This company offers no telephone support to applicants,[4] and their advertised "Chat Support" function has been removed from their website.[5] Potential customers should know that the only way to contact the company is through a Service Ticket, which remain unactioned despite promises of replies in 48 hours.[6]

History[]

DataFlow Group was founded in 2006 with its headquarters located in Dubai.[7] The company has a network of 60,000 issuing authorities throughout more than 200 countries, in addition to 620 experts and researchers.[8] Applicants that require PSV sto support equalisation applications from several governmental or quasi-governmental entities in the UAE and the GCC are effectively forced to use this service as their PSV format is the only acceptable format for submission. For example: "The Ministry of Education UAE has partnered with Dataflow to provide a fast track verification service for individuals applying for the equivalency of their degrees obtained outside of UAE".[9] Despite the claimed benefits of such a partnership, numerous complaints from applicants are easily accessible online citing lack of customer support, poor communication, lack of timely response to applications.[10]

Through its worldwide locations, DataFlow Group serves a client database spanning 200 countries.[8] Among the company's clients are government, quasi-government, regulatory and multinational organizations across the globe.[8]

In 2014, EQT Mid Market - a leading private equity group in Northern Europe, with portfolio companies in Northern and Eastern Europe, Asia and US - acquired DataFlow Group in order to expand the company's services.[7]

Services[]

DataFlow Group accepts payments with the promise to offer background check and document verification solutions[buzzword] for public and private sector organizations in adherence with Joint Commission International (JCI) guidelines and Service Organization Controls (SOC) compliance standards.[11][12][13][14] The company also provides proprietary databases and international watch lists for organizations to use in their own screening processes.[15]
