Viziant, a private equity-backed startup, was bringing to market a new knowledge mining and visualization product for government and commercial enterprises. Producing a technical proof-of-concept was key to the company successfully landing its first customer—a U.S. Department of Defense agency. But just weeks before the deadline, the software’s user interface had not been developed. That meant that the product’s most appealing and complex features, its rich visualization, were still on the drawing board.
Using Flex, Universal Mind created the rich interface Viziant needed, with the ability to deploy that interface easily on user desktops and drive it with minimal overhead across the network. UM also tied the new Adobe Flex clients to the backend BEA WebLogic server over Adobe Flex Data Services, ensuring not only a good-looking front-end but a well- functioning back-end.
Thanks to Universal Mind, Viziant made its first technical proof-of-concept on time, when it landed its first customer.
