Business Startup Support

Most new entrepreneurs who chose to start a business don’t know what they don’t know.  They have a brilliant idea for a product or service which fills a need in the marketplace.  They often have technical skills, but don’t appreciate the importance of management.  They don’t know how to raise capital.   They don’t appreciate the value of a business plan,  and they don’t know how to build one.  And they don’t know how to protect the intellectual property at the heart of their innovative approach.

Business Process Management

Does your enterprise measure up to the competition?  Many enterprises do not even know how they measure up.  And discovering that there is room for improvement, they don’t know what is required to boost their efficiency and effectiveness.   Often, they don’t really know the details of how things are being done today – the baseline state upon which any subsequent improvement is likely to be built.  And once they decide on changes, how do they get the buy-in to ensure their effective implementation?

Privacy Policy Analyzer

Are you customers frustrated by being frequently asked to agree to web-site terms of use and privacy policies that they don’t have the patience to read, the expertise to understand, or the ability to change?

Rocky Mountain Technical Marketing, Inc. (RMTM) has developed a privacy policy analyzer that leverages artificial intelligence to compare a vendor privacy policy (or web-site terms-of-use contract) to a user’s acceptability criteria and highlight the exceptions.

RMTM offers the privacy policy analyzer as a value-added feature to be added to existing products or services, such as end-point security software publishers or internet service provers (ISPs),  to address their customer’s concerns about how their personal information is being exploited.  Including the tool in a present product or service offering offers unique differentiation from competitors in fields where differentiation is hard to find.

 

?-Funds™

One of the more popular groups of products in the new world of financial services is leveraged index products.  These products offer investors the unique opportunity to achieve leveraged returns on diversified portfolios of assets without running the risk of margin calls.  But, almost all current product offerings suffer from a pernicious problem:  their value declines in volatile markets, regardless of the whether the market trend is up, down, or sideways.  This includes mutual funds, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Exchanged Traded Notes (ETNs), closed-end funds, hedge funds, and private wealth funds.  Regardless of the implementation, most current alternatives typically suffer from tracking error because of  “path dependence.”

?-Funds™ solves this problem.  ?-Funds™offer the benefits of leveraged returns on index products (e.g., S&P 500, gold price, treasury bill rates) that are path “independent.”  A ?-Fundinvestment can be held over unlimited lengths of time without incurring a tracking error penalty.

?-Funds are a patented technology that fund sponsors can offer to their clients that provide predictable results — regardless of the path of the market.  And because they are patented, fund sponsors can attain product exclusivity in their particular market.
