FortiusOne was spun out of George Mason University in 2005 by a group of recognized experts in economics, geospatial analysis and visualization, and risk management.

Initially, FortiusOne was a successful consulting company, applying its deep expertise in geographic analysis and visualization to the needs of clients such as the Department of Homeland Security.

The emergence of Web mapping solutions inspired FortiusOne to invent new technologies to address the limitations of traditional analytic tools and the challenges in finding adequate geographic data to solve real-world problems.

Joined by successful pioneers from the networking, Web services, and social networking markets, FortiusOne pursues its mission to interconnect and share the World’s geographic data.
