FortiusOne
Next-generation Intelligent Mapping Services
FortiusOne provides next-generation Intelligent Mapping Services that unleash a new world of geographic information to large organizations and individuals alike. FortiusOne was spun out of George Mason University in 2005 by a group of recognized experts in economics, geospatial analysis and visualization, and risk management. Initially, FortiusOne was a successful consulting company, applying its deep expertise in geographic analysis and visualization to the needs of clients such as the Department of Homeland Security. The emergence of Web 2.0 mapping and social networking solutions inspired FortiusOne to invent new technologies to address the limitations of traditional GIS and the challenges in finding adequate geodata to solve real problems.
Production and analysis of geodata is all too often a one-way street in which small numbers of experts, with complex tools, produce information for dissemination. Bottlenecks in rapidly changing real-world environments frequently cause data to be out of date or inaccurate. Compounding this problem, end users are rarely able to make corrections or contribute valuable information from the field. As a result, valuable field information is maintained separately and often has to be collected repeatedly, putting individuals at risk in the process.
FortiusOne's Intelligent Mapping solutions bring the Web 2.0 revolution to the world of geographic data. By bridging the world of traditional GIS with the Web 2.0 world of wikis, blogs, mashups, and syndicated communication, FortiusOne is unlocking geographic data, making it easy to use and share, while facilitating the growth of collective intelligence.
FortiusOne is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia. In-Q-Tel initially invested in FortiusOne in May 2007. For more information about FortiusOne, please visit www.fortiusone.com
