Overview and history of WhamTech, Inc.

WhamTech, Inc. (WhamTech) is a privately-held US-owned Delaware corporation.  WhamTech's mission is to develop virtual data and information access, analytics, integration, sharing, and interoperability technology software adapter products.  WhamTech develops these products to anticipate, meet and exceed the demands of customers seeking an alternative to the conventional approaches of data warehouses, federated data access with conventional adapters and enterprise search.  Our goal is to provide a better and more seamless way to work with data, by changing the way data is accessed, analyzed, integrated, shared and interoperated.  WhamTech adapter products are based on independent, cleansed indexes that execute both structured and unstructured queries for data warehouse capabilities, including results when data sources are unavailable and archive.

Based on customer projects, WhamTech uses agile development methods with continuous integration to constantly improve EIQ Products.  Some of the recently developed capabilities include:

• Link Indexes™ that keep track of data and entity connections within an individual data source and among multiple data sources to accelerate joins, execute degrees of separation queries, perform link analysis, social media and network analysis, discover, merge, combine, validate and present physical, logical and ontological data models, cause and effect analysis, and influence analysis
  
  
• Indefinite scale independent indexing and query processing to allow high performance analytics and complex event event processing using standard driver access and SQL on data stored in Hadoop/HBase
  
  
• Commercial use of an information geometry intelligence tool for categorization of structured and unstructured data - part of WhamTech's eDiscovery tool, Teracase™ and Intelligent Spider™
  
  
• Partnership with Jacobson & Associates (www.jacobsonassoc.com) to enable distributed multivariate analytics - potentially a disruptive force in many markets to be able to run analytics in a federated data solution

WhamTech has entered into partnerships with system integrators and other companies to install, and provide support and training, for products.

WhamTech's PEOPLE are individuals who possess extensive, successful business experience with expertise in technology, capital markets, and major projects.  WhamTech has achieved a number of significant technology and business advancements since acquiring the technology assets in November 1998 - see TECHNOLOGY MILESTONES for a discussion of the main advancements.

At the end of 1999, WhamTech received first round funding from venture capital partner Mercury Ventures Ltd., based in Dallas, Texas. And, in May 2001, WhamTech received second round funding from HAP Investment Group, based in Atlanta, Georgia.  Since then, WhamTech has received revenues from projects and licenses, and funding from investor groups and private investors.
