Gartner Names Tru Optik a Cool Vendor in Information Innovation 2014
Stamford, Conn. (PRWEB) April 14, 2014 -- Tru Optik, a big data startup that empowers enterprises with leading indicators of audience and consumer demand, today announced it has been selected by Gartner Inc., the world's leading information technology research and advisory company, as a 2014 “Cool Vendor in Information Innovation.”
Each year, Gartner identifies new “Cool Vendors” in key technology areas and publishes a series of research reports highlighting these pioneering vendors and their products and services. According to Gartner’s report, written by Douglas Laney, vice president of research at Gartner, Tru Optik has “realized there is another untapped source of digital media demand data that is more real time than periodic sales data, more complete than audience sampling, and more granular than either of these: BitTorrent peer-to-peer sharing activity.”
“To be recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor prior to our public launch, and before raising venture capital speaks to how innovative our solutions are and the tremendous strides we have made in audience intelligence,” said Andre Swanston, co-founder and CEO of Tru Optik. “We are appreciative of the honor and excited to have been selected as a Gartner Cool Vendor for 2014.”
During the selection process, Gartner identifies emerging vendors that introduce novel approaches to addressing perennial information management needs and the emerging need to harness big data.
“When our company was founded, we knew big data innovation would be crucial to our success,” said Alex Geis, co-founder and chief technology officer of Tru Optik. “Only a year after founding, our proprietary technology already allows us to aggregate and analyze peer-to-peer digital media interactions at an unprecedented scale, and we are at the forefront of empowering enterprises with cookie-free audience segmentation and micro-targeted leading indicators of audience and consumer demand.”
