NuTech Solutions

Founded in 1999 by Matthew Michalewicz and Zbigniew Michalewicz, NuTech Solutions carved a niche as a provider of advanced predictive analytics and optimization solutions. The company was established based on the work of several scientists with the objective of creating dynamic technology that could predict future outcomes and adapt intelligently. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, NuTech served a diverse range of industries, including automotive, consumer goods, petroleum/energy, natural resources, and national security, by tackling complex problems with its software services.

The firm's core business involved providing software and services that enabled organizations to analyze large volumes of data to gain strategic insights. This was particularly valuable for companies looking to compete on analytics. The intellectual property and expertise were centered around next-generation algorithms and models designed to maximize the utility of growing data assets.

A significant milestone in the company's history was its acquisition by Netezza Corporation on May 15, 2008, for $6.5 million. This acquisition was a strategic move for Netezza to enhance its own capabilities in the advanced analytics market. Following the acquisition, NuTech Solutions continued to operate as an independent division, bringing its team of approximately 30 scientists and engineers into the Netezza fold. This integration aimed to leverage NuTech's specialized knowledge across key vertical markets to better serve a broader customer base.
