The problem with conventional data(base) management
Information management is an age-old challenge, often requiring IT professionals, dedicated infrastructure and a multitude of applications to run. This incurs a direct cost to a business and piecemeal approaches are often taken due to a lack of funding and transient access to IT expertise. Originally from a research setting, the team at Endpoint IQ sought to over come key recurring IT challenges :
- Storing and structuring data from any type of source
- Key person risk (and long term cost)
- Integration complexity and cost between systems and devices
- Deployment at scale and across modalities (mobile, web, SMS, email, video)
- Security (privacy, multi-site/user access, encryption, contemporary authentication)
- Hosting, Backup, Disaster recovery
