We Have a New Name: GeoIQ

Today was literally a brand new day for FortiusOne; effective today we will be operating under the new brand of GeoIQ.  Many, especially within our customer roots at the US Intelligence Agencies, know the FortiusOne brand.  As the business grows, we want a brand name that is easy to say and clearly communicates what we offer to the market.  Now we communicate what we do in 5 letters: GeoIQ.  George DeWitt would be proud.  Geo (location) IQ (intelligence).

Over the next few weeks we will be announcing the different products that are included in the GeoIQ suite.  Last October we launched our mobile capability in partnership with Appcelerator.  And, just last month we announced Acetate, which enables users to create really good-looking map visualizations.  Stay tuned for more product releases in the upcoming months.

And now for the requisite history lesson as we say farewell to the FortiusOne brand: The FortiusOne brand dates back to the company’s inception in 2005 when founder Sean Gorman’s doctoral thesis sparked a stir in Washington and promoted the funding of a new start-up.  The company began work analyzing the strength of infrastructure networks for the US government – which Sean aptly named, ‘FortiusOne’ – meaning Stronger One.   Since 2005, the company has continued success in the government marketplace and has extended the core capabilities of the GeoIQ platform to fulfill the growing needs of enterprise marketers.  GeoIQ is widely recognized across both the government and commercial markets as the leading data sharing, analysis and visualization platform.
