NuTech Solutions was founded on the cutting-edge work of several world-renowned scientists with a mission to develop truly dynamic technology solutions that could not only predict what’s coming next, but intelligently learn and adapt. According to Bud Whitmeyer, CEO of NuTech Solutions, “Netezza’s acquisition of our company joins the forces of two innovative companies to apply next-generation algorithms and models to maximize the growing volumes of data organizations collect.”
