McDonald Bradley Selects AVS' OpenViz Platform

McDonald Bradley Inc, a Washington DC area-based consulting firm specializing in providing custom software applications and IT solutions for commercial and government clients such as AT&T, Lockheed Martin, GTE, EPA, HUD, and Intelligence Community agencies has selected OpenViz from Advanced Visual Systems as the company's newest visualization platform.

McDonald Bradley's Advanced Technology Division designs and builds 2D and 3D business intelligence tools to help clients quickly and efficiently increase their understanding of the information found in complex and often diverse data bases. These PC or Unix-based, Web-enabled applications can integrate and present real time, dynamic, static and historic data in a highly interactive, intuitive and graphical manner. The visual framework and design of the applications provides users with the ability to conduct sophisticated analysis and data mining to enhance the decision making process.

"After an extensive market survey, we selected OpenViz for our newest visualization platform, in large part, because AVS understands the needs of the business user and the tool kit is focused on helping users easily and quickly make critical business decisions," said Danny Proko, MBI's Director of Advanced Technologies. "We also were impressed by the software's C++ and Java capability," added Proko.

Projects that the company plans to undertake using OpenViz include developing an application for a client in the healthcare field to track patient status and the impact of the hospital facilities on that status; using OpenViz to develop an application for an Oil & Gas industry client to show the impact of modifications to the client's internal network characteristics and to analyze "what-if scenarios" to ensure that the client maintains all critical capabilities after a network upgrade. OpenViz will also be used for a series of applications being developed for the Intelligence Community that will be used in training, allocation of resources and assessment of any gaps in intelligence.

According to Melanie Ziegler, vice president of Product Development for Advanced Visual Systems, "We are seeing a rapidly growing move in organizations toward using visualization technology to better understand financial, marketing, customer and trend analysis information. We are very pleased that McDonald Bradley has selected OpenViz as their platform for building custom solutions for their customers. It is a testament to OpenViz's strong visualization capabilities and its flexibility in integrating into a wide variety of applications and architectures."
