Big Blue Marble Labs

Where we build what comes next.

This is where Big Blue Marble shows the technology it is building before it is ready for the market. Every POC states the stage it has reached, from early concept to ready for a client pilot, and every one of them is open to explore with our engineers.

What Labs means

Real technology

Everything here has been built and tested, not just designed. You can see it run before you commit anything.

Not a product yet

POC-stage means exploratory, not committed. Our commercial products are SLA-backed and in production; these are not, and we say so on every page.

Available to explore

If something interests you, the conversation starts here. Every POC states what stage it is at and what a pilot would involve.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Big Blue Marble Labs is the part of Big Blue Marble where we show the technology we are currently building. Everything here is POC-stage and exploratory: some POCs are early concepts we are still validating, others have been tested in controlled conditions and are open to client pilots today. Each one says which it is on its own page. That is what separates Labs from our products, which are commercially available, SLA-backed, fully supported and in production for named clients. A Labs POC is not a finished product and not a commitment, but it is a starting point for the right conversation.

POCs marked Ready to pilot are available for client pilots today. POCs marked Testing are open to selected pilot partners on invitation. Tell us which POC interests you and we will start from where it actually is.

A POC graduates when it has proven itself technically, at least one named client has expressed commercial interest, and it fits the Big Blue Marble product portfolio. Until all three are true it stays in Labs, with its development stage stated on its page.
