Rounding off the year on a high

We’re happy to sign off with a great Q4 – a quarter full of exciting, shall we say game-changing events. From an angel round of financing to validation from GROWCalifornia’s Game Changers Steering Committee to our entry into new verticals and impressive sales wins. Surely we’re firing on all cylinders!

The holidays give us time to savor these successes, reflect on the year gone by and recharge for the year ahead. To all customers, partners, well-wishers and dear blog readers – we look forward to sharing an exciting 2011 with you!

New name, New direction, Same passion

We're happy to officially announce our new name - Glassbeam! As regular readers know, that's been the name of our SaaS-based product analytics offering that has been marketed under the Orchesys umbrella. We’re now focusing on our new direction – building and marketing Glassbeam and positioning it as the premier product analytics vendor in the marketplace. Thereby, helping large technology manufacturers better understand, infer and act upon data that their machines periodically generate. Read our official press release and CEO thoughts

While the name has changed, the passion has not. In fact, it has likely gone up a couple of notches! We’re now in the center of the exciting and innovation-fuelled intersection of predictive analytics, business intelligence, and big data. Our team is enthused to be part of this evolutionary space and hard at work improving the ‘Product IQ’ of numerous and varied offerings in high-tech, medical devices and the like.

Stay tuned!

We have turned 1

Well a little more than 1!. Definitely, stronger and wiser and growing (despite the harsh economic climate). We’ve received endorsements from major analytics players and achieved traction in a few different verticals like medical devices. Our hard-at-work engineers have enhanced our product’s pedigree by upgrading the functionality of Glassbean BI Workbench that presents the hard-analyzed data the in a visually appealing fashion.

Partnering with the best in SaaS

We’ve always believed with partnering with the best in SaaS to power our evolutionary product analytics platform. That’s why we’re happy to announce a partnership with Opsource to power our on-demand SaaS offering.

This partnership serves 2 important purposes – allowing us to focus on developing our application without worrying about hosting, uptime, and so on; also, it adds a player with true street cred to our list of partners. The latter also helps us counter some typical (we think misplaced) concerns about hosting data in the cloud.
