The Client-to-Cloud Revolution is about much more than being able to access your data any place and on any device. It’s also about being able to do things that were otherwise impossible. A big challenge that engineers and architecture professionals need to overcome is figuring out how to make changes or do repairs with existing buildings and structures. There are laser scanners that can collect the necessary data, but this is terabytes and terabytes of information that is difficult to work with and distribute.

Cintoo converts this data in the cloud to something that is a lot more manageable and workable so that architecture professionals can easily get the information they need to do whatever needs to get done with all kinds of information that was previously very challenging to work with.

Dominique Pouliquen, CEO of Cintoo, will discuss their unique problem-solving client-to-cloud efforts and give an on-stage demo of how their system works.

The International Future Computing Summit runs November 5-6, 2019 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. Additional speakers are being regularly added. Register today as space is limited!
