About Us
We're former CEOs, technology execs and business intelligence engineers. We know your situation, because we've been there. We know your frustration, because we've felt it.
Now, we've done something about it.
Today’s business equation has too many variables to be solved by yesterday's solutions. For public utilities, process industries and all critical infrastructure segments that must deal with real-time data, in massive volumes, from multiple sources and across geographies, 24/7, the challenge to capture, combine and distill data into intuitively meaningful and immediately actionable information is overwhelming. Reliability is at risk, as is public service, emergency response, profit, safety, efficiency, investment and reputation.
Frankly, the technology necessary to tackle this challenge has simply not been adequate. There has been no enterprise caliber solution to effectively manage high volumes of location-based, performance data in an intelligent space-time visualization context.
Until now. We built it. There is nothing else like it in the market.
