As the w88 live casino Guard ramps up its emergency response to COVID-19, w88 live casino Innovation is doubling down on its efforts to support aviation mission w88 live casinoA member company with offices in the w88 online casino of Nevada, Reno Innevation Center, w88 live casino Innovation has chosen to develop in a region that company Founder Rich Ferguson says is fostering entrepreneurialism “unlike any place in the United States.”
A veteran-owned company founded in 2018, Lulius Innovation provides software and services to military aviation organizations. Lulius Innovation's flagship software product, Aviation Status Dashboard, is used by several National Guard organizations to facilitate operations across the country to improve aircraft and personnel w88 live casino, manage budgets and maintain domestic operations capabilities.
The Alaska Army w88 live casino Guard (AKARNG) is one organization using Aviation Status Dashboard capabilities. “ASD has ten-fold helped us to see ourselves and make it easier to have others see our availability and capability and shape our potential aviation patient-transport response to COVID-19. ASD has also helped in other state missions such as fires, floods and search-and-rescue by saving the amount of manpower and resources to produce tedious spreadsheets and PowerPoints that were only good at the time they were submitted,” said AKARNG's State Army Aviation Officer, Colonel Bob Kurtz. “By far the best product out there.”
Ferguson’s impetus to start w88 live casino Innovation was 50 percentinspiration and 50 percent challenge. A graduate of the University of Nevada, Reno with a degree in biology, Ferguson’s resume includes his military service, federal government roles, a master’s degree from Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business and fellowships with the Brookings Institution and Harvard University. It was primarily at Harvard where his entrepreneurial spirit and passion for innovation were kindled, and where his interest in open data was inspired by a professor and what Ferguson calls an “‘ah ha’ moment.”
Next came the challenge: taking the leap to start a business. Ferguson chose to return to the Reno-Tahoe area where he discovered the Innevation w88 live casino which, he said, “did more than help provide alocation to meet people; it gave me like-mindedpeople who are as crazy as I am to leave what you know to do something youbelieve in.”
Ten years ago northern Nevada would not have been his first-choice location for starting a company, but things have changed as evidenced by companies such as Apple, Tesla, Panasonic and others choosing to locate operations in the region. Of his experience building a company in Reno today, Ferguson exclaimed, “It'slike finding a goldnuggetin the hills ofVirginiaCity!Reno’sentrepreneurialmayor, Hillary Schieve, coupled with the w88 live casino’s fresh perspectivehasfosteredan intersection of art, science and entrepreneurialism unlike any place in the United States.”
“In my heart, I never really left Reno,” he said. “Andeven though I was offered additional opportunities to climb the government hierarchy, the lure of Reno-Tahoe compelled me and my family to move back home.”
In addition to the Aviation Status Dashboard software, the Lulius Innovation team of eight employees provides support for aviation-specific Command Cyber w88 live casino Inspection (CCRI) audits, which are required of every federal government agency annually, and services to support information technology design and strategy, web application and technology implementation, and information technology risk management.
