LONGMONT, COLORADO, April 14, 2015 – OneRain Inc., a leading provider of real-time and historical hydrologic and rainfall-related data solutions and services, today announced a major new software release for its Contrail® platform that brings full capabilities and accessibility to all devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) for a rich, engaging, context-relevant user experience.
Contrail is the leading enterprise-level software platform that collects, processes and delivers real-time sensor data from local hydrometeorological networks and other external sources for Web-based dissemination, visualization, monitoring and alerting. Users can quickly see important and relevant information in charts, graphs, maps, alerts, data feeds, and reports, that is key to their effective and timely decision-making.
The new version reflects the continuing trend towards mobile accessibility and demonstrates OneRain’s continued commitment in supporting their clients who rely on timely and up-to-date information to manage their responsibilities in flood early warning and emergency management, dam safety, stormwater management and other areas of water resource management.
With the ever growing use of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, OneRain continues to innovate by introducing Contrail’s new adaptive, responsive and contextual design built on a single code base platform. Contrail’s new framework maintains consistent features and usability across various devices. Now users can have the same feature-rich experience with Contrail whether at their desk, home, or doing field work.
“In addition to the overall framework update, there is a continued emphasis on the user interface and data-relevant visualization that makes it easier for users to quickly understand the data and manage their hydrologic networks,” states Mike Zucosky, OneRain’s Director of Operations. “This important update to Contrail provides flexibility for future product enrichment and is based on Web standards and best practices to allow for browser compliance into the foreseeable future. We have paid special attention to the suggestions and feed-back received from our clients who tried out the beta version over the past couple of months,” adds Mr. Zucosky.
This major new release features many new enhancements designed to provide critical real-time operational analytics and present essential information quickly. Highlights of the new Contrail release are:
- Adaptive and Responsive Design: Contrail’s new responsive and adaptive design is optimized to run across a broad set of devices, fluidly changing and responding to fit any screen or device size. Whether in the field, or at their desktop, users will be able to accomplish virtually all of their Contrail management tasks no matter what device they’re on – desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone – no matter what screen size.
- Dashboard Displays provide high-level data views: Users will be able to access data, in context, quickly and more comprehensively. Efficient viewing of data ensures an enhanced mobile device experience. And because it’s the the same user interface no matter what the device, users will find information and controls on the screen where they expect them.
- Updated graphing and mapping interactions gets users to their data faster, saving valuable time and providing context to the data to help them understand the data more efficiently. Optimized for desktop and mobile, mapping and graphing has never looked so good.

This software update is available to all OneRain-hosted Contrail Web and Contrail Server users as well as licensed on-premise Contrail Base Station users current with standard maintenance.
