Gravic Celebrated its 45th Anniversary in 2024
Please join us in celebrating our 45 years in business! Gravic, Inc. is a world leader in innovative data collection, transformation, and distribution solutions. Since 1979, our software product groups have produced technologically advanced solutions that improve the businesses and personal lives of our 100,000+ customers.
Though we have been around for nearly a half-century, we have only been known as Gravic, Inc. since 2003 when our three predecessor companies, ITI, Inc., Compucon Services Corporation, and Principia Products Inc. merged into one. As Gravic, we now are united with four separate groups: Remark Software, Shadowbase Software, Remark Innovations, and Gravic Labs.
- The Shadowbase Software Suite provides real-time data replication, streaming, validation, and data recovery for worldwide enterprises running mission-critical applications. Hewlett Packard Enterprise resells our product line globally under the name HPE Shadowbase.
- The Remark Software Suite offers data collection and analysis using optical mark recognition (OMR) software for image scanners for customers in over 130 countries.
- Remark Innovations works to create applications for secure elections. Our current Proof of Concept (POC) combines the OMR capabilities from Remark software with the high availability and data security from Shadowbase software into a highly secure balloting system, although the use cases extend far beyond the voting space, for example into generalized ransomware protection.
- Gravic Labs is a Research, Development, and Licensing group in Gravic, dedicated to developing solutions for complex societal and technical challenges, and currently holds over 80 patents.
Gravic’s core purpose is Improving Society Through Innovation®, and that innovation and desire to provide value is what will continue to keep our solutions at the forefront of our industries.
We have enjoyed providing our customers with essential products, tools, and solutions during this time and look forward to continuing our working relationships for many years to come. We want to hear from you, so please let us know how we are doing and how we can help you.
Improving Society Through Innovation® in Action
Gravic’s innovative products and services benefit society directly by delivering value and expected results. Please see the set of values that guide us in how we do business in pursuit of our core purpose. Additionally, we allocate a portion of our profits to outside efforts. To further Gravic, Inc.’s purpose of improving society through innovation, we are continuously finding and acting on ways where we can make a difference in the world.
