Use Cases
Online Photo Printing
In the age of mobile phone photography, digital technology is enabling new ways for people to share, store and print photos.
Challenge
Today, smartphones feature high-resolution cameras that generate large files. The sheer amount of data that online photo retailers manage and store is driving up their cloud costs. As an interim solution, retailers resort to using open-source compression on many high-end servers. Though this approach may work, it’s resource-intensive and could take months, if not years, to compress photo volumes.
Solution
Aplicata’s solution enables online photo retailers to compress photos 20 times faster. This empowers retailers to optimize existing cloud resources and realize savings quickly. Aplicata’s platform also offers the unique ability to scale and support new cloud services. Talk to us today about how our products can enhance your cloud services and reduce costs at the same time.
Mobile Check Deposit
Many financial institutions now offer convenient and time-saving mobile check deposit services. Once customers install the mobile banking app on their smartphones, they can take photos of a check and follow simple steps to complete the banking deposit.
Challenge
Compliance regulations require financial institutions to keep records for several years. Storing large numbers of check images daily consumes huge amounts of storage. Though mobile banking apps could compress check images before transmitting them, this type of compression could impact the ability of automated fraud detection services to produce optimal results.
Solution
Aplicata’s solution enables financial institutions to combine their fraud detection techniques with fast image compression. Talk to us today about how Aplicata’s technology can be adapted to support your fraud detection requirements.
Geospatial
Advances in satellite technology have given rise to many services that play an important role in daily life. These services rely on data from Earth Observation satellites to provide a better understanding of the interactions among lands, oceans, and atmosphere. The collected data is used for different applications such as agriculture, commodity trading, risk management, and defense.
Challenge
There’s a tradeoff between the optimal number of Earth Observation satellites and their cost. And, there are important differences between the onboard and ground equipment needed to support various services. Nowadays, satellite imagery undergoes a great deal of mathematical manipulation to produce useful quantitative analyses.
Solution
Aplicata’s solution enables satellite data providers to produce images that are more valuable to their customers. Talk to us today about how we can adapt our technology to accelerate your satellite image applications.
