Case Studies

COVID-19 has impacted the lives of many individuals and businesses. One of those groups is performing artists who can't perform live in the current environment.

RECLIVE is a massively scalable video streaming solution, allowing artists, promoters or DJs to stream and monetize their performances easily. RECLIVE Live-Mode combines pre-recorded video with a live experience into one. Streaming pre-recorded videos lower production costs substantially, and it gives the artists time to “get it right.” RECLIVE implements a range of DRM measures designed to protect content.

The first customer of this solution has transformed live entertainment through the power of interactive streaming. They have delivered live stream performances from the most iconic names in music.

The client built a highly complex software application consisting of multiple modules and a data model with multiple dependencies but with no front-end. 

The objective of the design/advisory process was to design a front-end for the application that would meet several criteria:

• Easy to navigate and use GUI
• "Installable" application - on user's device but with just one codebase for both desktop and web versions - similar to Slack, Twitch, or WhatsApp
• The front-end purpose is to let users prepare a dataset/model, launch a computationally intensive task on the cloud (choosing either AWS, Google Cloud, or MS Azure), receive and visualize the results.

The resulting front-end is a react.js application leveraging Electron for the cross-platform functionality.

U3 Explore is the Go-To-Market platform with services for a business landscape dominated by COVID-19. U3+ is a cloud-native, highly scalable, and secure virtual data room.

It supports uploading and managing almost any data and visualization of supported data/file formats, with granular user rights. U3+ enables industry-specific workflows through interactive applications.

U3+ system overview:

• Cloud-native - no installation required by the user, accessible from any device – desktop, laptop, tablet, phone. 
• Reliable - with 99.9% availability. 
• Secure - encrypted communication, multi-factor user authentication. 
• Global - leveraging global cloud infrastructure and CDN for maximum performance regardless of user location. 
• Scalable - U3+ is modular and can grow with the customer's demands through the addition of new applications. 
• Connected - U3+ can connect to just about any database or a real-time data source via APIs. 
• Unlimited - number of users, unlimited storage. 

A global Energy company has a workflow in place which is manual, labor-intensive, and not scalable beyond a limited number of highly specialized experts. It involves manually exporting data from a PC, transferring it to an on-premises Linux cluster, setting up and running a data processing job, and then transferring the resulting dataset back to the PC.

We designed a fully automated and scalable, cloud solution to replace this manual workflow. The user activates the job on the PC; the system then exports and transfers relevant data to the cloud, assigns resources required to process the data, runs the job, and imports the data back into the PC application.

The solution does not require any special skills and is scalable to a theoretically unlimited number of users or processed jobs.

U3 Explore is the Go-To-Market platform with services for a business landscape dominated by COVID-19.

It is a "community platform" comprising multiple companies and content creators.

It facilitates collaborative content creation & publishing, public or private events, training, and e-commerce.

6X is a multi-component numerical reservoir simulator. It is a C/C++ Linux based application with a license server. The user has to manage deployment, infrastructure, installation, and licensing.

We developed Discover 6X. It leverages cloud-based, Linux GPU instances for maximum performance, it is massively scalable, only depending on the availability of cloud infrastructure.

Discover 6X runs from any device with a web browser; there is no hardware or software to install and no runs or resources to manage.

discover.energy is a cloud-native data & interactive application platform developed for Advisor Energy, serving technical and financial professionals in the oil & gas, banking, and finance industries. 

The platform is comprised of three applications: 

• Research - industry and company context through a detailed analysis of 80+ E&P, OFS, and Midstream companies. 
• Metrics - a benchmarking application allowing users to drill deep through 400+ detailed financial and operational metrics. 
• Assets - explore hundreds of oil & gas assets operated by publicly traded E&P companies.

Heikkinen Energy Advisors (HEA) is an equity research firm focused on high-quality, independent research of Exploration & Production, Oilfield Service, and Midstream companies and assets.

HEA strives to provide the highest quality research for institutional investors and corporate clients.

We developed the HEA online content delivery platform - HEA Connect. With HEA Connect, you can select from research content on over 70 publicly traded companies and energy-specific geologic and geographic theme reports. HEA Events connects you to HEA research analysts and companies via meetings, calls, bus tours, and other industry events.

To plan, promote, and run events, motor racing venues have to use several tools, neither of which fully meets their needs.

Running just one event at one venue can require the use of ten or more different, disconnected web or mobile services with lots of duplication.

We developed Tracktivity, a unique mobile technology service for motor racing venues. Tracktivity ingests data from the various sources, integrates and contextualizes the data, and uses it as input for various value-added services delivered through the platform; promotional campaigns, ticketing, communication, etc.

Tracktivity provides the services through a family of web and mobile apps.
