Nashua, NH-based Pneuron has Appointed Thomas Fountain as Chief Technology Officer
About the Company
Pneuron offers a new design, deployment, and execution paradigm to help businesses meet today’s rapidly changing and complex information systems challenges. By distributing lightweight, fixed-function, processing objects to targeted individual source systems, Pneuron creates a powerful processing network which sidesteps the time and cost penalties of today’s centralized approaches. Using a single, integrated platform, businesses are able to iteratively build and deploy solutions which solve the challenges of distributed data, applications and infrastructure. Pneuron has broken the centralization paradigm that dominates most conventional architectures, and implemented a distributed model where data extraction, analytics, and logical operations are effectively processed at the source system. This focuses processing on only those subsets of information that meet specific business requirements while avoiding large scale migration, normalization, and processing of non-target data. Results show up to 50% improvement in time and cost in development and deployment of business solutions compared to traditional approaches.
