ScaleOut Software released a corporate contact tracing demonstration application to help companies safely return to the office during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Since ScaleOut Software’s founding nearly two decades ago, we have continually advanced our streaming analytics technology to help customers tackle complex problems and now to help respond to the COVID-19 pandemic”

The contact tracing application makes use of new software technology for streaming analytics that enables thousands of data sources to be tracked simultaneously. It creates a “real-time digital twin” for each employee to track their contacts within the organization. When any employee reports a positive COVID-19 result, these real-time digital twins can quickly and easily notify other employees who could have been exposed and require testing. The application also removes non-recurring contacts after exposure is no longer likely.
