Gravis Technologies, Inc.

Data analytics and visual tools for public and private clients

Gravis Technologies, Inc., known as Gravis Tech, builds data tools and visual communication systems that make complicated material clear. Its work is organized around three service areas: data analytics, data visualization and technical communications. The company describes its aim as creating new ways to analyze, see and share data, and it says the work starts from the problem a client is trying to solve rather than from a standard product.

Business intelligence, mapping and dashboards

The analytics side covers business intelligence, geographic information systems for mapping and location-based data, and dashboards built around key performance indicators. Data warehousing is part of the same work, so that information from different sources can be gathered and used together.

Visual and immersive presentation

The visualization work includes augmented reality, virtual reality, virtual tours, and 360-degree photographs and video. Gamification is offered as a way of drawing users into the material. The company describes these tools as ways of showing data and places in a form people will engage with.

Websites, software and branding

The technical communications side covers corporate branding and marketing strategy and products, which sit alongside its website and software work. A client can commission a website that is either open to the public or restricted to its own users, or a bespoke piece of software built to its needs.

How projects are run

The company's process is built on teamwork, project management and a help desk for ongoing support after delivery. It describes a team of technologists with different backgrounds, which it says gives each project a range of expertise. Staff are described as passionate about providing meaningful value and insight from data.

The clients the firm chooses

The company says it chooses to work with clients whose projects focus on the environment, energy and public health. Its client list includes a regional health department, and it describes its work on energy challenges as aimed at a cleaner and more cost-effective future. The firm also recruits technologists to join its team.
