Rhiza renames, relaunches core product: Rhiza Upshot

I learned about Rhiza Labs during the bird flu pandemic of 2009 (APB coverage). The company provided the backend mapping for a crowdsourced effort to gather infection and other data as the disease moved across the world and in the United States.

Last week I recieved an e-mail from the CEO explaining the core platoform, then called Rhiza Insight, has been updated and is now called Rhiza Upshot. The updates include presentation tools, more charts and graphs, mobile data collection (iOS and Android), collaboration tools and of course, mapping. The images had me thinking of Tableau Software.

Upshot can be used in the cloud or hosted locally. It can be licensed month to month or more like an acquisition. Pricing?

Starting at $100/mo per user, we’ll have you up and running in less than a week.

I believe that's the "hosted on your system" version.

Clients run the gammut from Pepsi to the Pittsburgh Public Schools, but the case studies/gallery page focuses on environmental/green issues and business ones.
