After extensive management experience in global financial services, Q.Know's founders made the decision to step back from the industry to create a software solution that addressed the fundamental disconnect between the benefits of electronic information management and the liability it creates for business if not used and leveraged appropriately.
Frustration abounded at every level of the information management cycle –
- Employees could not find business critical information in a timely fashion.
- Executives were not confident that technology was providing the necessary visibility to manage effectively and comply thoroughly.
- IT managers were not able to control server overload and apply comprehensive disaster recovery plans to keep up with the volume of electronic information flowing daily through the system.
The common thread in each scenario was information overload. The fast-paced environment for creating and exchanging electronic information had overburdened users, managers and IT departments. What had not kept pace was technology’s ability to file, retrieve, share and manage this volume of information in a manner that was logical, stream-lined and easy to use.
With decades of experience in financial services from Johnson & Higgins, Latin American Re, ARIG Insurance and Ernst & Young, Richard Meyer and Vineet Kalucha knew first-hand the problem of managing information in a global company. They set out to correct the problem with co-founder and technologist Joe Geaney.
The result is Q.Know. |
