Rise8 announced on September 4 its selection for a SpaceWERX Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract in the amount of $75,000 for the company’s Predictive User Analytics for Secure Environments, shorthanded Pulse. Pulse will help both software development teams and operational leadership collect and compile end-user insights faster than ever previously possible on secure networks, leading to improved speed of response, and better, more durable decision-making.
In today’s military operations, information flows through a network of manual processes that are slow, prone to error, and cannot scale. Pulse will reduce cycle times from the order of days, weeks, and months down to seconds–and do so at an unbelievable scale. This degree of instantaneous feedback is critical to delivering valuable software users love, allowing developers to use data as a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and user-centricity in application development, especially in defense environments where software products are mission critical.
“Today’s warfighter needs solutions custom-built to their mission needs, designed with user operability at the forefront. However, there is often a disconnect between software development teams and application users in the field; Pulse will eliminate that disconnect,” said Bryon Kroger, CEO and founder of Rise8. “We are grateful to SpaceWERX for this SBIR award, and look forward to continued collaboration.”
Currently, software applications deployed on classified government networks cannot access the vast array of data analytics products available to the commercial sector. Existing commercial solutions either cannot be adapted to a secure government network or fail to meet the requisite security controls. Pulse will fill this void–as it is developed with DoD network complexities and security requirements top of mind–and will bring government software practices much closer to how high performing commercial development teams operate.
