Every company must innovate with technology. The next generation of realtime and event-driven applications will incorporate modern technologies such as the IoT (Internet of Things), mobile, and AI (artificial Intelligence). They will run in the cloud, on the edge, and in corporate datacenters. These applications will become a company’s nervous system as they will connect everything and run everywhere. But, developing and managing these applications with current tools is very difficult and getting more so.

VANTIQ provides the only high-productivity platform for mission critical, real-time, event-driven collaborative applications that can run anywhere – from the cloud to the edge.
