Do you really understand your clients’ perception of your brand or product relative to your competition? Do you truly know your potential clients’ perception? In other words, do you actually realize how and why your brand fits in the competitive landscape, and do you understand what you need to do to improve?

Understanding how your brand is perceived relative to its competition is critical intelligence for any company selling in a competitive environment. Without this information, a company may be at a competitive disadvantage and not even know why and how come. Typical competitive intelligence often provides the “whats” (e.g., market share, product features and functionality) but lacks the actual voice of the customer and voice of the prospect to tell you why the product set is viewed in the marketplace as it actually is and how that perception drives sales realities.

By gathering feedback directly from users of these products, and through candid conversations with individuals with direct knowledge of the product, Mercator will plot and explain relative market position in a way that other competitive intelligence simply cannot.

Benefits of this program:

• 
  Arm your sales force, other front-line staff and customer service teams with the tools to speak intelligently about competitive offerings, handle tough questions and defuse difficult situations
• Add your end-users’ perspectives into your competitive intelligence arsenal
• Improve revenue opportunities
• Mitigate risks
• Gain critical, actionable information for product and marketing teams
• Identify areas for immediate impact and improvement

Deliverables of the program:

Via our interview-based methodology, we will develop a custom set of research deliverables with clear recommendations for improvement and key brand talking points that will aim for maximum effectiveness and high impact for your organization. This approach is designed to explore key issues among the survey participants including:

• Awareness and familiarity with the brands in the competitive set
• Identification of industry leaders and laggards
• An understanding of the brands in the consideration set during the next contract negotiations
• The difficulty or ease of switching current supplier(s)
• The degree of satisfaction, the likelihood to recommend, uncovered problems or annoyances, and an evaluation of key metrics around product, service and value from the direct perspectives from your brand’s users

Reveleer, a healthcare technology company, was recognized on the annual Inc. 5000 list, an esteemed ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country.

“We are honored to be acknowledged for our hard work in providing Health Plans with new innovative options for conducting their Quality Improvement and Risk Adjustment programs,” said Jay Ackerman, CEO and President of the Board at Reveleer.

This is the second consecutive year that Reveleer has been named on the prestigious list. The 39th annual Inc. 5000 list represents the highest growing and most successful independent companies in America. This accomplishment puts Reveleer in distinguished company, as the exclusive Inc. 5000 list has included Microsoft, Oracle, and Intuit over the years. In order to achieve ranking, companies must have incredible sales growth.

“The Inc. 5000 acknowledgement is proof to us of our larger engagement strategy,” said Ryan Peterson SVP, Strategy & Growth. He expounded, “I think the reason for our continued growth is our ability to meet our customers ‘where they are’ on their journey. Our customers are very savvy – they are not limited in their thinking; they are limited in resources, be that software or services. By providing them the latest technology backed by an experienced team, we’re here to support their success.”    

Health plans face numerous challenges around government program compliance, with decentralized, inefficient processes driving high operating costs for record retrieval and review. In the past, healthcare has been traditionally slow in adopting new technology, in part due to strict HIPAA regulations and data risk aversion. Reveleer is opening new possibilities and disrupting the healthcare market with a platform that automates many complex and exacting processes that have traditionally required manual work. The company’s growth is fueled by their flexible model which seeks to provide health plans with total control and transparency to run their programs by leveraging the latest technology – all in one secure, HIPAA compliant platform.

The Reveleer platform incorporates Machine Learning (NLP), Intelligent Automation in an intuitive user experience, offering health plans a unique solution to elevate their operations and leverage technology not available in the past. Many health plans of all sizes across the country, including Blue plans, are already benefiting from Reveleer’s customized approach to Risk Adjustment and Quality programs.

KITCHENER, Ontario (PRWEB)

evolutionQ was awarded a Space Technology Development Program (STDP) contribution by the CSA to develop solutions to advance satellite-based secure quantum communication services and tools to address challenges related to satellite-based Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) networks.

Cryptography underpins the secure communications required for the digital, network-based social and financial interactions that are at the heart of modern society and the economy, including banking, the sharing of confidential healthcare data, and the exchange of sensitive information between governmental institutions. However, rapid advancements in quantum computing threaten current encryption methods because quantum computers, when built, will be able to break commonly used cybersecurity systems. It is important to develop tools, like QKD, that will be resistant to such quantum threats.

QKD technologies leverage the fundamental laws of quantum physics to distribute confidential cryptographic keys between two users, while detecting the attempts of malicious third-parties to intercept such keys. Unfortunately, typical terrestrial methods to establish such direct secure connection between locations are limited to relatively short distances, of the order of at most 200 km. This is clearly a challenge for a country as vast as Canada. Satellite-based QKD will enable secure, reliable, and economical key-sharing across Canada.

“A powerful quantum computer has the power to decimate today’s cryptography. As key quantum computing milestones are achieved, the need for quantum-safe solutions intensifies,” said Dr. Michele Mosca, President and CEO of evolutionQ. “Robust cryptography is absolutely necessary for our safety and the proper functioning of our digital economy. We must adopt quantum-safe solutions to secure and safeguard our critical infrastructures, financial services and intellectual property.”

“Quantum Key Distribution is an important tool in addressing the quantum threat. QKD uses the fundamental laws of physics to protect information shared between two parties.” CTO of evolutionQ, Dr. Norbert Lütkenhaus remarked. “Satellite-based QKD is essential for a vast country like Canada and will help secure communications from coast to coast. evolutionQ is poised to utilize its expertise and develop solutions to help establish satellite QKD, and to integrate it with existing terrestrial solutions.”

evolutionQ will develop tools to address the challenges unique to satellite-based QKD. This will be accomplished by modelling the role and performance of QKD satellites, and by designing optimization algorithms to integrate QKD satellites with terrestrial networks. The software solutions will be designed to be integrated with existing and planned satellite hardware. The project is expected to last 24 months.

The initiative will also help Canada safeguard sovereignty in the quantum age and strengthen Canadian leadership in the space and quantum sectors. The initiative aligns with the new Space Strategy for Canada, the safety and security principle in Canada’s Digital Charter and the Government of Canada’s Innovations and Skills Plan.

This project is undertaken with the financial support of the Canadian Space Agency.

About evolutionQ:

evolutionQ is a leading quantum-safe cybersecurity company led by world-renowned quantum computing experts Dr. Michele Mosca and Dr. Norbert Lütkenhaus. evolutionQ delivers quantum-risk management strategy and advisory services along with robust cybersecurity products designed to be safe against quantum computers.
