STRUCTURES NW is a Vancouver, WA-based company in the Computers and Electronics sector.
Computer Upgrade Corporation is a Corona, CA-based company in the Computers and Electronics sector.
Delivered as a Storage Resource Management-as-a-Service (SRMaaS), Visual Storage Intelligence® (VSI) provides data-driven insights into performance, capacity, utilization, and governance challenges - helping IT professionals save time, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. Visual Storage Intelligence was founded in 2010 as a subsidiary of Clear Technologies, a traditional IT infrastructure reseller of storage and computing solutions. At the time, most clients managed their storage with either storage resource management (SRM) software or Excel spreadsheets and manual processes. SRM software products are wildly expensive and take significant time and effort to deploy and administer. On the other hand, the manual spreadsheet approach is even more time-intensive. With Visual Storage Intelligence, we launched an easy-to-use Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) that gives clients the insights that they need without the cost and complexity of traditional SRM products or the manual intensive approach of spreadsheets.
ontechsys is a Waukesha, WI-based company in the Computers and Electronics sector.
Jim Fruchterman, Benetech`s founder and CEO, was an engineering student at Caltech when he learned how pattern recognition technology could guide a missile to its target. “If you could use this technology to recognize tanks or bridges,” Jim thought, “perhaps you could also recognize letters and words. Then we could use software to read those words aloud to people who are blind.” Years later, after a stint as a rocket engineer, Jim cofounded a VC-backed tech company called Calera Recognition Systems. Calera invented the first successful machine that could read almost any printed font without requiring human training. The products based on that technology had many commercial applications, but Jim hadn`t let go of his earlier idea. Soon he and the Calera team began prototyping a reading machine for the blind. Calera`s investors were impressed that the reading machine worked; however, they didn`t want to pursue Jim`s vision as it would generate negligible profits and take the focus away from developing more profitable products. Jim realized his dream didn`t fit in with the for-profit model. In 1989, Benetech was born with a business model intended to keep costs low for users. The organization quickly became the largest maker of affordable reading systems for the blind. Due to limited revenue to invest in new ideas, Jim decided to sell the reading machine product line to a for-profit company and reinvest the money from the sale—$5 million—to expand Benetech to new frontiers of social good. Today, Benetech continues to be a different kind of tech company—a nonprofit—with a pure focus on developing software for social good. More than two decades after our founding, we`ve grown to include multiple program areas and initiatives that provide software to improve—even transform—the lives of people all across the world. You can read more about our work through our four main work areas: Education, Human Rights, Environment and Poverty. As a nonprofit tackling tough social issues, the funds to identify and develop new software solutions come from individuals, foundations, corporations, partner organizations, and agencies. Please consider supporting our work or partnering with us. Together, we can ensure that all of humanity benefits from technology.
