What We Do

Blue Marble Enterprises specializes in helping businesses collect, store and use data.  Businesses have access to more data than ever before, and Blue Marble makes that data useful through measurement, analysis, useful reporting, data management and processing.

 

Our expert engineers design and implement customized database systems to help you manage specialized information about your own line of business or area of interest.   Blue Marble Enterprises operates two specific media measurement and metric platforms for PR measurement:  BlueVision® and BluePrint™.   The BlueHorizon™ prediction tool is specific to the marketing industry and uses customer lifetime value with transaction-level purchasing data to evaluate customer equity in the future.  The Blue   platform serves the scientific industry with databases designed just for storing and using data created and used in scientific study.

 

About the Company

The company was founded in 1994 to bridge the gap between individual developers and “Enterprise” developers. Individual programmers are not usually trained in conceptual design of database systems nor the support for ongoing evolution of data and its uses.  Enterprise developers sell database modules that attempt to meet more than one customer’s needs and demand annual license fees that become more costly to the customer in the long run.  Blue Marble has the all expertise of large firms and is more economical and efficient than smaller developers.

 

Blue Marble Enterprises has developed diverse systems including databases for geographical information, education, telecommunications, public relations, forecasting, production, writing, customer management, resource management, fundraising, charitable contributions and more.

 

Our mission is simple:  Your Data.  Your Way.
