Estonian online geospatial environmental data provider Planet OS has been acquired by US company Intertrust Technologies.
Intertrust will add its data governance technology to the Planet OS platform to enable companies to manage data from many sources, including wind farms.
“The combination of the Planet OS and Intertrust platforms will create a perfect risk management solution for enterprises in markets that simply cannot afford data breaches or misappropriation,” the companies said.
Planet OS is currently used by Innogy to manage data coming from its wind assets.
Intertrust chief executive Talal Shamoon said: “Combining Planet OS with Intertrust’s security, risk management and data rights management technologies will allow us to expand our trusted big data capabilities by creating a powerful, multi-party data platform for enterprise-scale, industrial IoT applications.”
The Planet OS team will join Intertrust, which will expand its engineering operations in Estonia.
