Platform Computing, Inc.

About Platform Computing: Platform Computing, located in Markham, Ontario, is a pioneer and leader in High Performance Computing infrastructure software . Platform delivers cluster and grid solutions which enable organizations to optimize their IT resources, increasing hardware utilization and lowering costs.

Challenge: Though Platform has over 15 years of rich history and hundreds of client success stories, an increasingly heated competitive landscape made it difficult for the company to position itself as the leader in high performance computing infrastructure software.

Strategy: To provide Platform with increased credibility with journalists, Ricochet pursued a number of high profile awards on behalf of the company, which would be leveraged in conjunction with forthcoming news announcements.

Results: Ricochet secured numerous high-profile awards for Platform, including the American Financial Technology Awards, “Best Infrastructure Initiative” for Platform’s work for Lehman Brothers; and inclusion in Linux Magazine’s “20 Companies to Watch in 2007” list. Wins like these helped Platform demonstrate its extensive commitment to R&D, positioning the company as an innovator and trend-setter.
