MatrixView, a vendor focusing on content management for the healthcare sector, plans to set-up a research office in SA and bring its binary optimisation technology, Adaptive Binary Optimisation (ABO), to the local market.
The Silicon Valley-based CTO of MatrixView, Ravi Krishnan, was in SA this week to speak at the government e-Security Forum and identify a location for the planned research office.
MatrixView tested ABO in public healthcare centres in the Eastern Cape last year. "We were able to transmit high-density x-ray images between clinics in about two minutes."
Krishnan states that ABO was recently endorsed by Ernst and Young, after a period of testing, and was found to be a secure and "lossless" data compression and transfer technology.
"We definitely aim to recruit local network engineers [to work on the customisation of the algorithm for specific applications], but it will be dependent on how many projects we have," says Krishnan.
MatrixView plans to initially target the healthcare, banking and security sectors, he explains. "We`ll be looking to partner with mobile technology companies, banks and the security organs of state."
The solution won the 2005 Frost & Sullivan Innovation Award, says Krishnan.
