Those tools are being used by companies and our customers who just say to us , “ we need to get the real-time data out ” – from buildings or individual assets .

Our second tool is Hark Analytics . For companies that don ' t want to build their own analytical tools or automation tools , it provides all the kind of the graphs and the dashboards and the alarms and the alerting to say , “ hey , you ' ve got an alarm
