Never Away was started at IET. The company had several security products; Never Away was developed as a way for the company's owner to monitor his vacation and rental properties. The company, and his properties, are located on the Gulf Coast. Tropical storms, hurricanes, and flooding are common. Never Away allowed him to monitor his properties in the event of an evacuation or road closure. The site design was approved, but the product didn't get released to the general public while I was with the company.
