CloudLock is a cloud data protection company that enables control of data while gaining the collaboration and cost savings benefits of the cloud. CloudLock's enterprise-class products are directly integrated with cloud application providers and are immediately available at a fraction of the cost.

Jazkarta was hired to build from scratch a tool to scan a company's Google Docs repository, and provide reports on potential security vulnerabilities. This tool ended up being so successful, that CloudLock (named Aprigo at the time) pivoted the entire company to focus on this one product.

We recommended using Django and Python on top of Google App Engine, and shepherded CloudLock through the various limitations of Google App Engine, to build an extremely scalable and successful SaaS product.

The New England Wild Flower Society has been awarded an NSF grant to develop an online flora of New England - the first comprehensive update of our knowledge of the region’s plants in 25 years. The project is intended to pique curiosity and spur learning about plants among a whole new generation of users. It will engage them, through their fascination with technology, to go outside and grow their fascination with the natural world.

Because of our unique knowledge of both technology and botany, Jazkarta was engaged to lead the development effort. The multi-faceted project offers several plant identification keys, extensive photographs and information about all the region's plants, learning aids for students and teachers, and a social feature called MyPlants that stimulates  learning and discussion.

The technology components include Django, Python, PostgreSQL/PostGIS, and Solr.

UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. The Our Stories project helps people share the stories of their lives, no matter where they live or how their stories unfold.

Jazkarta was brought on board to assist with the technical implementation and development of the Our Stories site. The site features several ways for youth to tell their story: uploading a video, recording a video or audio using their computer's webcam, dialing a phone number and leaving a voicemail message or sending a text message. The stories are collected on the site, tagged with metadata and displayed on a Google Map. The technology used to build this site was Django and the Red 5 open source Flash media server that handles the video and audio streaming.
