Industrializing Science
Through Digital Products.
Harman Digital is the build arm of Harman Solutions. We create cloud-native, not for profit digital products designed to accelerate science.
The Commercial Strategy
We build products to be sustainable Not-for-Profit solutions with built-in profit sharing.
- 1. Development: Self-funded and developed (slow) or with partner investment (faster).
- 2. Return: External Investment is returned license credit over value.
- 3. Delivery: Licensed products generate income, partners used for complex deliveries.
- 4. Operating Cost: Licensing is utilization based or low-fixed.
- 5. Strategic Reinvestment: Revenue is reinvested in R&D, limited to a minimum sustainability cap.
- 6. Profit Sharing: Cost drops by and revenue in excess of minimum sustainability cap.
The "Flywheel" Effect
Software is a utility rather than a profit center.
Product Ecosystem
FPOS Architecture
The Fragmented Persistence Object Service is a novel data architecture upon which any thing or action can be defined and captured. Objects are fragmented across NoSQL, Relational, Graph, File, and event stores to create a scalable Digital Mirror.
Explore the Architecture →Metroknome
The first application built on FPOS. Metroknome replaces ~80% of current R&D lab informatics (ELN, LIMS, SDMS) with a single, unified experience.
View Product Status →Scientific WebAssembly (Wasm)
Custom high-performance UI components (e.g., molecular thumbnails, datasets) built in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly. These provide near-native performance within the browser for Metroknome users and will be created for purchase to support our not for profit development.
Future Initiatives
Future ideas welcome (especially if it comes with funding to help our community of researchers).
