Onboard Tracker™ also is awarded ‘Best Workforce Tracking System’ at the 2015 Technology Innovator Awards.
Onboard Tracker™ gets its very own team of professors and the information they produce will be used as future study material for University of Aberdeen Business School undergraduates. Their initial white paper case study entitled ‘The Benefits of Client Developer Collaboration – A case study of disruptive software development and models for the Oil and Gas Sector’ is being published in 2015.
As the system is web based, we have always had international users. However we experienced excellent demand internationally and the system is now implemented in Brazil, USA, Norway and a number of other countries. Onboard Tracker™ uses the Microsoft Azure platform to give it geo-replicating resilience and ensures that non UK clients do not suffer latency as they connect to a localised Microsoft data-centre.
After thoroughly researching the development landscape, we decided to build a secure, enterprise class, multi-tenant Software as a Service (SaaS) platform which would have a single code base, would be continually up to date and would never grow old.
Onboard Tracker™ would be marketed using a ‘consumption economics’ monthly subscription model that drastically disrupted the traditional software licensing model and shifted the significant part of the development and commercial risk from the client to the software house.
Having built up significant experience and skills developing tracking applications for clients in the Oil, Gas and Maritime industries, we embarked on a project to build our own system that brought all of our industry experience into a configurable system for tracking People and Assets. That’s how the original version of Onboard Tracker was developed.
