GeoSpock
GeoSpock’s spatial big data platform provides in-depth analytics, builds rapid insights and enables powerful predictions across space and time.
GeoSpock’s spatial big data platform is disrupting the current approach to organising, visualising and analysing extreme-scale data. Our cloud-based platform provides in-depth analytics, builds rapid insights and enables powerful predictions across space and time.
As Machine-To-Machine (M2M) generated data drives unprecedented demand for scalable, responsive and affordable software solutions, traditional relational databases and compute-first technologies are simply not fit for purpose in our hyperconnected world. M2M data is often siloed, fragmented and very hard to manage. As a consequence, incomplete, unclear and uncertain information form the base on which business and organisations are making critical decisions.
GeoSpock’s spatial big data platform, coupled with NTT DATA’s broad range of services and solutions, have the opportunity to power the intelligent urban ecosystems of the future. Together GeoSpock and NTT DATA can de-silo data, deliver insights, predict patterns and provide intelligence to smart cities and communities around the world, and enable new and innovative, sustainable services for its citizens. Together, GeoSpock and NTT DATA can improve the daily lives for people everywhere!
