About Clarified Networks
Clarified Networks was brought to life with the development of our first commercial software tool Tia in 2002 in the Oulu University Secure Programming Group (OUSPG) as a part of the Frontier project, leveraging project funding from the National Technology Agency (Tekes) as well as support and sponsorship from Nokia and TeliaSonera.

As the complexity of telecommunication networks grew, there clearly was a need for a new kind of approach to network analysis. Traditional network analysers, such as tcpdump, concentrated on traffic collected from a single point in network. To understand events happening on the network, communication between different systems and communication occurring on several networks provide a far more useful abstraction level.
Our group of OUSPG researchers entered the VMWare Ultimate Virtual Appliance Challenge with their application "HowNetWorks". HowNetworks can be thought of as the prototype for Tia2. To no-one's surprise at LinuxWorld 2006 it was announced that our team had won the first prize of 100 000$! The success of HowNetworks gave the us the final push to establish our own enterprise.
Close work with our clients brought the realization that leveraging the full potential of Tia will require greatly enhanced reporting and collaboration technology that can be stored and shared between partners and vendors. Further research indicated that not only are there communication issues between clients and their vendors, these issues also exist for clients internally. As a response we created an environment which aims to bring significant benefits to our clients for modeling their organisational knowledge and skills; the Collab Environment was born. From here we made it our company philosophy to continue being the company at the forefront of Analysis and Collaboration.
