*INCREASE THE VISIBILITY OF SHAREMIND AMONG CUSTOMERS AND RESELLERS*
We prepared marketing collateral, formed dedicated sales team, were in direct contact with hundreds of organisations, ran online campaigns, demonstrated our offerings in the industry events and conferences, published press releases and articles, initiated partner program and managed to find number of resellers and partners that use our technology for their projects.
SIMPLIFY THE DELIVERY AND USE OF SHAREMIND FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
We developed direct-to-customer cloud service where customers can use complex privacy preserving technology by means of a simple and intuitive tool that resembles the environment customers use every day. We developed privacy-aware user interfaces for various uses and added functionality to our statistical analysis tool Rmind based on marked demand. We integrated our technology to Hadoop Distributed File System and PostgreSQL, added remote logging capability to give the opportunity for our customers more easily integrate the technology to its ecosystem. All this simplifies the delivery and use of Sharemind remarkably and hopefully attracts more customers to use our technology as implementation and deployment of such systems becomes cheaper.
REDUCE THE COST OF SHAREMIND FOR OUR CUSTOMERS
We are particularly proud of our new Sharemind Hardware Isolation (Sharemind HI) product line, which was developed during the project. Sharemind HI is a revolutionary technological solution which is a development platform for building privacy- preserving applications. We believe it gives us competitive advantage for many years to come as Sharemind HI is remarkably faster than Sharemind MPC or any other similar tool on the market and thus enables us to run such project quicker and cheaper.
Also, we solved many optimisation tasks initiated by our customer requests and implement a solution for Sharemind MPC.
IMPROVE SECURITY CONTROLS OF SHAREMIND
We implemented user level access control to Sharemind MPC, add a remote query monitoring and audit mechanism to both our platforms, implement record-level privacy budgets using principals of differential privacy. This gives serious addition to the security controls set of our platforms.
FUTURE PLAN
Finally, we prepared a business plan for the future and are continuing or mission to gives companies, governments, doctors and researchers access to data that have either been inaccessible or have required great effort to gain access to. We believe that Sharemind gives new insights that can be used for making decisions, improving productivity, optimising marketing, developing new products and services, and implementing new business models.
