At Red Bison, we design, build, and manage high-speed networks with an integrated Edge Cloud and Building Intelligence Platform for Commercial and large Residential Real Estate. Our services empower building owners to streamline their operations, strengthen security measures, and ultimately increase overall property value. Our mission is to accelerate the transformation of buildings into interconnected and intelligent assets that enhance value for building owners. To achieve this, we offer a comprehensive range of services encompassing three crucial solution areas: NETWORK Our network solution enables Commercial Real Estate Building owners to centralize their network, which decreases connectivity costs, enhances building efficiency, and increases tenant satisfaction, which increases rent. We are also able to deliver in-building Wi-Fi calling, which enables cell phone calling at a fraction of the cost of legacy Distributed Antenna Systems. At the end of the day, our Network saves a building owner money, increasing NOI and building value. EDGE CLOUD Our on-prem data storage and compute solution allows building owners to run applications locally at a fraction of the cost of traditional Cloud solutions. Video surveillance is one example of how building owners can save money and increase security by utilizing our Cloud. BUILDING INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM Because our network enables the building applications and has visibility to every connected device, we are able to consolidate this data into a single pane of glass, our Intelligence Platform. Now, building owners can track energy use, analyze people traffic patterns, check Network statistics, and see the status of other building applications. Better yet, Portfolio owners are able to compare one building to another.

Bridging the gap between CRAs and the data they need. Background screening solutions that empower CRAs with actionable insights that are reliable, efficient and drive down total cost of ownership. We think differently about background screening data, or as we refer to it, people-data. We’re insanely passionate about making reliable people-data equitably accessible to all. No, we’re not a new company. In fact our company was created when two of the leading, modern wholesale background screening data providers merged to create InformData. The primary reason for our merger was that our leadership wanted to create a business that had the scale to use people, process and technology to provide background screening companies and CRAs with a new, more reliable way to access and buy the data they need to help their customers make more informed choices about people.
