Executive resume
Assuring competitive advantages in an open and connected environment
October 2007

Company
Founded in March 2006 by a mixed team of entrepreneurs which came from an university research group (I2Cat-Gridcat UPC) and ESADE .
Focused in Grid Computing applied to machine-to-machine (sensors & devices).
Propietary technology , developed after 3 years of experience developing projects for big companies.
Prototype . Now we are implementing it for two customers (biotech & internet services) and collaborating with two other companies (from media sector) for integrating our technology into their products.

Team Ramón Sangüesa Bachelor in Computer Science & PhD. In Artificial Intelligence & Vicedean Worked for Apple, IBM, Motorola... Diego Mariño Bachelor in Business Administration - ESADE-MBA (2008) Worked for Getronics, Fiat & Renault Sports Xavier Fernández Bachelor in Computer Information Systems - Master in Industrial Management Works for everis as the Chief of BCN Innovation office Daniel Pérez Bachelor in Computer Science Master in Statistics and Operations (2007) U-Ming Lee Master in Computer Science - Master in Financial Management Worked for Quantum & Aldrix as Grid Business Consultant in Malaysia

Killer-app: Intensive computing

Opportunity
Machine-to-machine communications, variously known as M2M, refers to automatic communications between mechanical objects taking place without human intervention . There is not a standard in this market, so, as long as it grows, the difficulty for connecting these devices raises.
The market is demanding a infrastructure that can easily integrate heterogeneous (and not usual) devices into a network , which should be accessed in an easy way and with the ability of being used for different necessities . Inconvenient Difficulty Solution Heterogeneity Connecting different standards Virtualization Reinventing the wheel No network standard Common infrastructure Deploy new sensors Ad-hoc networks installed Artificial Intelligence New kinds of information Transform into knowledge Open network

Market
M2M was worth $ 95 billion in 2006 .
M2M will become a thriving market in the next years , with the interest in RFID giving a boost to IT spending in general, according to Gartner and Harbor.
Extremely atomized market
Competitors
Almost all products are substitutives between themselves and connected without standards with proprietary applications.
Our solution is a substitute to all of them. Customers could create sensor networks faster, cheaper and easier .
Main markets:
Security : Buildings, CCTV, Biometric ID
Logistics : RFID, Storage, Routes
Health : Diagnostics, MobileMed, Implants
Industrial : Quality, SCADA, machine controls

Solution
We have developed a toolkit for simplifying the implementation, deployment and monitoring of grid computing based applications for companies.
Features
Autoconfigurable (with AI agents)
Multiplatform (Mainframe, Workstation, Smartphone, PDA…)
Multisystem (Windows, MacOSX, UNIX…)
Multipurpose (all kind of decentralized applications)

Business model
As other high technology companies
Offer our base solution with an OpenSource license (MySQL, TrollTech...)
License our platform tools to integrators and consulting firms with experience in this market (everis, telvent, qualcomm...)
Partnerships with hardware manufactures for selling their devices with our technology inside (Sun, Cisco & IBM)
Sensors Hardware Integrators Customers think in grid
