Eight Solutions Announces Cumul8 Sky Closed Beta Testing
(via Thenewswire.ca)
VANCOUVER BC / TheNewswire / December 16, 2015 -- Eight Solutions Inc. (TSXV:ES) ("Eight Solutions" or the "Company") has completed its first round of "closed" beta testing for Cumul8 Sky ("Sky").
Sky is the Company's mobile-first insight discovery and collaboration tool. It allows users to connect to their multiple sources of data, find insights using visual analytics, and share these insights with colleagues using live data stories. Sky exists in a world with Business Intelligence (BI) products like IBM's Watson Analytics and Oracle's Data Visualization Cloud Service--where Sky differs is that it was designed and developed with mobile first in mind.
Sky targets the rapid expansion of business users who need to unlock the narrative in their multiple sources of data, to make the data meaningful. According to the Company, Sky is "finger-painting BI anywhere, anytime, on a mobile device." Sky allows you to connect, discover, and share your data with others. The business model for Sky will be similar to products like Slack, where the basic service is free and revenue is charged on enhanced features.
Sky is based on the Company's proprietary Cumul8 technology, which has enterprise customers in entertainment, services, forestry and more. Cumul8 can quickly take data from any system and translate it into a combined visual narrative, providing instant access and insight into what is really happening.
Last week, the Company wrapped up an intensive first round of Sky beta testing with people from a variety of backgrounds. The product was tested on iPhone and iPad devices. Testers provided feedback on Sky's ease of use, ability to take data from any source, and the fun factor. Sky is designed so users can quickly extract a narrative and collaborate on that narrative with others. Many of Sky's development team members have extensive video game experience, so they know how to make products that are easy to use and addictive. The next phase of Sky's development will be to launch a "open" beta testing program.
"It's amazing to see this product come to life," says Rory Armes, Eight Solutions CEO. "When Tim Bennison, Eight Solutions COO, first started working on Sky, we knew it was a visionary product in a growing market. What we didn't realize was that no other company had been able to seamlessly combine multiple data streams into a simple mobile user interface. Tim and his team proved it is possible, and it works."
