Holonis was envisioned by former biotechnology and healthcare executive, Richard B. Hollis, who did stints at Baxter International, Imed Corporation, Genentech, and Hollis-Eden Pharmaceuticals, who used his knowledge of the human genome and systems biology to develop the platform built as a complete ecosystem that organizes the complex, fragmented parts of the Internet. Holonis enables any size business to establish an Internet-optimized online presence through multimedia publishing, social engagement, communications, e-commerce and analytics.
“The SXSW Interactive Festival is the perfect event to launch Holonis,” stated Hollis, Founder and CEO of Holonis. “We are excited to debut our new interactive smarter marketplace and participate in multiple events to display and gain exposure of our technology.
