For over two decades, Techno Global has been at the forefront of building robust enterprise solutions. Since 2009, our focus has intensified on harnessing the power of Geolocation to revolutionize how large organizations operate. We recognized a fundamental truth: buried within countless database servers lies a wealth of information consumed by web interfaces, mobile apps, and integrated systems. But what if this data could be brought to life, contextualized, and made actionable through the lens of location?
At Techno Global Labs, we’ve pioneered a Geo-Communication Engine that transcends simple mapping. By seamlessly integrating the robust infrastructure of AWS (Amazon Web Services) with the rich mobility features of iOS and Android devices, and overlaying this with the familiar interfaces of Google Maps and our proprietary Microblogging platform, we’ve created a transformative solution that empowers organizations in unprecedented ways.
Beyond the Map: Contextualizing Data with Location Intelligence
The traditional approach often presents users with flat, detached data, requiring them to mentally bridge the gap between a record and its real-world relevance. Our vision was different. We aimed to logically merge data with location, creating a richer, more intuitive experience. Imagine pinpointing a location on a map and instantly unlocking a wealth of related enterprise information, invaluable to users in their specific context.
But we didn’t stop at simply geocoding datasets and rendering map details. We understood that the human element is crucial. Drawing inspiration from the definition of an organization as a group working towards common objectives, we sought to leverage Geo technology to better facilitate these goals, incorporating the power of human interaction.
Empowering Teams with Location-Aware Communication and Collaboration
In 2010, we embarked on creating our first mobile applications for iOS and Android, enabling individuals to communicate using Geolocation. This endeavor required innovative coding and intuitive interfaces to make this novel concept accessible and user-friendly. Recognizing the proven effectiveness of Microblogging as a communication vehicle, we developed our own embedded platform, seamlessly integrating real-time, location-tagged communication into the engine.
The «Why»: Unlocking Automated Intelligence Through Location
The most frequent question we encounter is: «Why visualize my data on a map?» Our journey has revealed that the true power of our engine lies not just in rendering information geographically, but in creating automated processes (algorithms) that execute intelligent actions never before conceived.
Consider the service industry, one of the early adopters of our technology. Knowing the precise location of service personnel at specific times is paramount. Our engine can automatically detect anomalies – for instance, if a technician scheduled to be at a particular address at a designated time isn’t there (leveraging the smartphone’s location data). This triggers automated notifications, which can, in turn, initiate a cascade of other nested processes. Today, our Lab boasts a library of sophisticated algorithms capable of significantly accelerating and enhancing the achievement of objectives for large organizations. We’ve strategically armed our engine with these applicable algorithms.
Bridging the Gap: Real-Time Visibility with Integrated Media Sharing
We also recognized the limitations of text-based microblogging. To further enhance efficiency and real-time awareness, we empowered users to exchange not just text updates, but also actual media files. This provides office-based personnel with immediate visual insights into field operations through shared pictures, videos, and documents.
Built for Scale: Leveraging the Power of AWS Infrastructure
On the infrastructure front, scalability was a non-negotiable requirement. This led us to strategically partner with AWS (Amazon Web Services). Today, we proudly hold the status of an AWS Technology Partner, leveraging a robust and auto-configured infrastructure comprising EC2 instances with ELB and Route 53 for load balancing and routing. We utilize Amazon CloudFront (a robust CDN) for efficient media rendering and rely on a comprehensive suite of AWS services, including CloudSearch, SNS, SES, SQS, and extensive use of S3 for storage. Thanks to AWS, our engine resides in multiple geographies across the globe, and its multi-language capabilities make it an invaluable asset for global organizations.
The first suite of products powered by our engine launched in early 2013. We are now making this powerful engine accessible to all, enabling them to connect their databases, visualize their data on a map, engage in location-aware microblogging within groups, and ultimately deliver a superior user experience. This groundbreaking release will be available on the AWS Marketplace in mid-January as an AMI (Self-contained configurable virtualized server).
The journey at Techno Global has been an exhilarating one, as we continue to both pioneer new solutions and enhance existing ones with our innovative Geo-Communication engine.
Conclusion:
Step beyond static data and unlock the transformative power of location intelligence. Techno Global’s Geo-Communication Engine provides the tools and infrastructure necessary to contextualize your data, empower your mobile workforce, and drive unprecedented efficiency and collaboration within your organization.
