Locus Technologies

Locus Technologies is an American corporation with headquarters in Mountain View, California, (in Silicon Valley), that provides services to organize energy, water, and environmental data and information via the Internet worldwide.[1]

Profile

The company, which is SAS 70 Certified[2], is perhaps best known for its ePortal and EIM Software as a Service (SaaS) applications. Locus has also been highlighted for offering a free GHG calculator for companies to determine whether they meet the threshold requirements necessary to report their emissions data to the California Air Resources Board under AB32, and specifically 95101(b)(8)legislation.[3][4] Locus pioneered the cross section of information management software and mobile technology for environmental data collection by offering an application through iTunes for use on the iPad, the iPhone, and iPod Touches.[5][6] Locus Technologies was founded in April 1997 by Neno Duplan.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Locus' Board of Directors also includes Mr. Rick Bergquist,[15] former CTO of PeopleSoft[16] and Ms. Ena Cratsenburg,[17] VP at Amyris Technologies.[18]. Locus Technologies is the Third Largest Environmental Firm in the San Francisco Bay Area[19].

Current clients include ExxonMobil[20][21], NASA[22], Energenic[23], Chevron[24][25], Los Alamos National Laboratory[26], Exelon[27], and others.

Awards

The privately held company has also won numerous awards in the environmental space including several Environmental Business Journal awards for achievement among IT companies.[28] Locus is also recognized in several independent market research reports such as a recent Verdantix report where they were highlighted as "one of only two firms in the Entrepreneurs Quadrant that claim more than 10 customers with more than $1 billion in revenue." Overall, Locus scored strongly in customer momentum, data management and financial resources.[29] Locus Technologies also won the business subcontractor of the year award from NASA Ames Research Center in 2009 for environmental automation and data collection work.[30][31]
