Blattner Technologies

Blattner Technologies is a technology consolidator focused on providing Predictive Transformation™ services, which encompasses data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML).

The company was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, by CEO Russ Blattner, a technology industry veteran with over 37 years of experience at organizations like BT Group and Lucent Technologies. His career has been marked by a focus on helping organizations achieve their goals through technological evolution, starting with networks and moving through cloud, big data, and now AI. The Blattner family has a legacy of innovation stretching back 115 years. The current iteration, Blattner Technologies, was officially founded in 2022.

Blattner Technologies operates through an aggressive acquisition strategy, purchasing companies with specialized capabilities to build a comprehensive, end-to-end service offering. This strategy allows the company to guide clients from basic data management and analytics to the full operationalization of AI and predictive analytics. Notable acquisitions include BOSS AI, a federated machine learning solution provider; Superwise, an MLOps leader for monitoring and maintaining AI models; DevDigital, a digital transformation consultancy; Global Footprints, for data integration capabilities; and The Indoor Lab, a lidar analytics company. This series of acquisitions aims to integrate technology, processes, and people to help clients shift from hindsight to foresight.

The company's core offering is its Predictive Transformation Platform, which leverages the technologies and expertise from its acquired subsidiaries. This platform provides solutions for data acquisition, reporting, predictive and preemptive analytics, MLOps, and AI governance. One of the key products is AskBoss, which utilizes a federated machine learning solution. The company also enhances its offerings with natural language processing (NLP) and Large Language Model (LLM) capabilities, allowing project managers to query their project data using natural language to receive predictive insights. In April 2024, the company announced it would rebrand to SUPERWISE®, aligning its corporate identity with the AI platform it acquired in 2023 to emphasize its focus on AI-driven solutions.

Blattner serves a diverse client base across industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, e-commerce, financial services, and transportation. For instance, through its acquisition of The Indoor Lab, it is working to create autonomous airports and transit stations using AI-powered lidar technology. Revenue is generated through the provision of these technology solutions and transformation services. The business model is designed to empower organizations to innovate, increase revenue, and improve their bottom line by embedding predictive capabilities into their operations.
