Boston Herald Features Obian As New Breed of Tech
Start-up
Leading Business Reporter Spotlights Obian.s Support
for Rebuilding Iraqi Schools
Burlington, MA – August 29, 2003: Obian has been
featured in the Business News column of the Boston Herald by noted journalist Cosmo
Macero, Jr. The August 25th article focuses on how Obian is providing solutions
to aid rebuilding Iraq by "growing technology in a nation getting rebuilt from the
ground up."
"Iraq is what the technology business calls
greenfields. There's nothing there, and that's the beauty of it,’’ Ben Hammer,
Obian’s VP for Jupiter, is quoted as saying. "Right now the USAID contract to
(open) schools in Iraq is being run on a laptop from CompUSA.''
Jupiter, Obian’s Enterprise Information
Management offering, scales from laptop to data center and is capable of the storage,
retrieval and free text search of tens of millions of documents in virtually any format.
The American Islamic Congress is currently using Jupiter in Iraq to take an inventory of
the condition of 9,000 schools.
In addition, after reviewing Obian’s
Emagineering product, Macero asserts, "You might describe it as McKinsey in a box: an
Internet-based software application built to replicate the wisdom of your average
Harvard-schooled consultant."
Bill Mauser, Obian's director of business
development, is also quoted in the article as saying, "The marketplace is telling us
they need this (Emagineering) right now."
Emagineering provides senior executives with the
most powerful tool available to cut through the organizational confusion that is always
created with the planning, introduction and deployment of new initiatives. It is an
innovative and powerful management tool that makes it possible for senior executives to
manage complexity and effectively lead strategic initiatives.
Jupiter V2.5 is now shipping. Emagineering V1.1 is
currently installed at beta sites and will be in general release early next month.
Obian, Inc. Obian is the first and only enterprise
software company that offers comprehensive collaboration and issue resolution technologies
