About this technology

Overview

Three innovative software inventions from Ames Research Center (NETMARK, Program Management Tool, and Query-Based Document Management) are finding their way into NASA missions as well as industry applications. The three software tools have been bundled together for the purpose of executing a nonexclusive patent license, and JumpStart Solutions LLC, of Cave Creek, Arizona, licensed them for use in its PanOptica product suite. The company now offers customers a cost-effective, scalable, easy-to-use suite of tools to manage projects, portfolios, and knowledge bases and documents.
