Smart Panda Story
Our Vision
Empowering the future of enterprise with intelligent tools and technology that help organizations work smarter, move faster, and solve real-world challenges with purpose and precision.
The Beginning
Our Story dates back to the early eighties, while most kids were watching Seasame Street or playing the first versions of Super Mario Brothers. The Smart Panda household had the 32-pound portable computer, with two flashy 5 1/4 inch drives, an amazing 4-inch green screen, and a wide carriage daisy wheel printer. Back before big data was big, The Panda household was managing multi-thousand name databases on this Osborne 1, CPM Based computer using dBase.
