Market

We are seeing the greatest growth in the small and mid-size enterprises and educators’ segments. We also see a greater demand for large organizations owing to the need to launch digital collaboration within large distributed teams and controlling overseas businesses through time to time updates.
Our focus is selling imMail Collaboration Platform as a solution and integration, support, and training services for key projects for our AI Engine further development.

Here are a few industries experiencing the greatest growth and an opportunity lately:

-Education Sector: Remote Learning & Development
-Government Sector: High-Security Need
-Telehealth - Remote Doctors and Patient Consultation
-Small & Medium Enterprise: team collaboration and development

Problem or Opportunity

Problem 1: Employees are using Personal instant messaging apps for work. Also, these free public instant messaging apps allow users to communicate with any type of contact, share secure data, and documents. Most free IM platforms also sell data to third parties and display advertisements.

Problem 2 Data Security: Data Security is a significant concern that remote teams face. As teams move off-site, there are limited options for providing a secure communication environment. With an increasing amount of malware threats, cyberattacks and data breaches, remote teams are rightly worried about their own security. Data breaches can cause devastating financial losses and affect an organization’s reputation for years. From loss of business to regulatory fines and remediation costs, data breaches have far-reaching consequences. The annual cost of a Data Breach Report, conducted by the Ponemon Institute and sponsored by IBM Security analyzes data breach costs, they estimated the cost of a major data breach for a company between $2 and $6 million. New data security laws from Europe has inspired many imitators, from Brazil’s LGPD to the CCPA in California. While many of these laws agree on the broad terms of data protection, each implements these protections in its own way.

Problem 3 Productivity: Whether by choice or as a result of external factors, more teams are turning to remote work setups. This type of work arrangement provides many exciting opportunities, but also comes with a certain level of uncertainty. This means that remote teams are constantly looking for the most efficient way to keep their teams connected and productively collaborating. For most organizations, allowing staff to work from home is nothing new, but when the entire business is physically separated from each other for weeks (or longer) on end, this presents entirely new challenges with productivity. Difficulty collaborating with colleagues and frequent interruptions are top productivity challenges for many organizations globally.

Problem 4 Standardization: There are many employees using personal devices for communication, and this has caused an issue with data standardization, bringing data into a common format and environment allowing for collaborative research, large-scale analytics, and sharing.

Problem 5 Knowledge Management: Another challenge during the pandemic is dealing with organization knowledge and information overflow. Many global organizations are trying to harness the power of Knowledge management for solving real-world problems.
Many organizations have now implemented collaboration technologies like imMail, and this will pave the way for a more fluid knowledge sharing experience. Harnessing all realms of knowledge within and outside an organization is going to be important for survival and success.
