By RSSFeeds Administrator Fonn Group has acquired the remaining shares in Everviz and will relaunch the cloud-native charting and graphics platform under a new name, Teikna.
The company said existing Everviz charting and mapping tools will continue without interruption for current customers. As Teikna develops, Fonn Group plans closer ties to Saga, its newsroom system, and Mimir, its cloud-based production platform.
Teikna is intended for broadcast, streaming and digital media, building on Everviz’s chart, map and data visualization tools.
Haavard Myklebust, Fonn Group CEO, said: “Everviz has built deep expertise in charts, maps, and data visualization. With Teikna, that expertise gets a bigger canvas. We have clear ideas about where graphics workflows are heading, and we would rather show than tell. IBC is where we will start..
To lead the platform, Fonn Group has appointed Christian Gogstad Eide as chief technology officer. Eide spent nearly 15 years at Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, working on web technology and live broadcast production.
He co-created Nora, NRK’s HTML-based graphics solution, and has worked on national elections, major sports events and entertainment productions.
Eide said: “Graphics are no longer created by one type of person, in one tool, or for one screen. That is exactly what drew me to Teikna. It is an opportunity to build on Everviz’s strengths and apply them to a much broader range of graphics workflows.
