New Delhi, November 27, 2015: Cityzenith, a leading Smart City data platform provider, is teaming up with GlobalLogic to implement its next-generation 5D Internet of Things platform for Smart Cities in India. Cityzenith is a U.S. software company based in Chicago that helps global organizations – from government departments to commercial enterprises — make sense of urban data, big and small.
Over the past year, 10 leading smart cities across 8 countries have adopted Cityzenith’s 5D Smart CityTM platform, including Barcelona, Amsterdam, Chicago, San Francisco, London, Washington D.C., Dubai, and Singapore. As Cityzenith’s product engineering and delivery partner, GlobalLogic will help the company develop customised smart city solutions that address the Indian Smart City market’s unique needs.
5D Smart CityTM helps cities connect, visualize, and manage their data, leveraging a next-generation interactive, intuitive, and real-time 3D simulation that anyone — from the mayor to an engineer in the field — can easily use. Users can point, click, tap, and swipe their way to the information they need in real-time with little or no training. Lightweight and flexible to suit any browser, the platform is designed to be open, non-proprietary, affordable, and works on standard PCs and tablets.
