Access Innovations, Inc.

2. Roadmap for 2021 and Beyond
 Outside pressures to watch
 Marketing and Communications
 Management and Organization
 Software
 Theoretical
 Tactical

3. What is the Big Picture Today?
 There’s low inflation, low interest rates, and the Federal Reserve just launched the
largest stimulus bazooka in history into the economy
 Media is doing WHAT? right now by pushing messages of fear and uncertainty
 COVID-19 is a true Black Swan. It didn’t look like a global catastrophe... until it
already was. There was no time to plan or prepare. The pandemic squashed our
11-year bull market... and led to the fastest bear market in history.
 Melt up – government stimulus – melt down – crash!
 Massive inflation – government printing money

4. Labeling
 These days we are labeling everything
 Ethnicity, skin color, etc.
 OCD, ADHA, etc.
 Childhood trauma, PTSD, etc.
 Taxonomies can help sort this out (disambiguation)

5. From the Industrial Age... to the
Computer Age.
 Amazon has taken over retail
 Uber has taken over cabs
 Apple and Spotify have taken over music
 Netflix has taken over movies and TV
 Google has taken over data
 LinkedIn and others have taken over job searching and hiring
 Expedia and TripAdvisor have taken over the travel industry
 The list goes on and on…

6. COVID Worldwide
 Economic dysfunction
 Slowing global economy
 2008 financial crisis repeat
 Stimulus will not work – leads to crash
 Accelerating social instability
 more intense and less manageable
 Covid repercussions
 Economically detrimental, will lead to recession, not depression
 Jobs will recover without government interference
 Education will not recover quickly

7. Currency Deflation
 World’s economic power is fleeing to
digital money
 Governments are printing money without
a gold back
 Unlimited paper money and endless
credit
 Need a new form of value (money)
 Retain value without regard to property
and privacy respected

8. Bitcoin
• Tim Draper says: “Bitcoin is to the dollar as
the internet is to paper.” Draper says a single
Bitcoin will be worth $250,000 as soon as
2022.
• Become an “Internet of Transactions.”
• It runs on a distributed network of computers
• Safe from government induced inflation
• Keeping score and exchanging value in
business and transactions today
• Bitcoin  blockchain
• Dollar  GAAP - accounting systems.

9. What Can We Do?
 Already doing it
 Change our marketing and communications
 Independent staff
 Change our software approach

10. Marketing and Communications
 Current program

 Low meeting attendance
 Covid set the future
 Sitting through desktop meetings is limited
 Webinars – case studies by clients work best
 High touch – like the cocktail hour
 Another book
 More articles and contributions
 More partnerships and integrations
 We are middleware!

11. Some of Our Partners

Atypon
SciTech Strategies

12. Software Approach
 Modular software
 Custom interfaces now external
 Streamlined - No redundancy in coding
 Cloud backed
 Kubernetes options
 11 million in one month – spun up 6 instances
 Discussed by Jeffrey
 Docker Instances

13. DH Design List – So Far For 2022
 Language Detection (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, etc.)
 Revamp Import Module
 Triple Store implementation
 Search System**
 Mongo DB
 SparQL
 Knowledge Graph Implementation
 Visualizations
 Ontological Objects
 Event Notification System that can be used in conjunction with other Data Harmony Systems
for automatic processing

14. Thinking about…
 Automated Thesaurus Generation
 Create Complex Rules Automatically
 I’d rather you didn’t say we are thinking about these things. I would rather
wait and announce them when they work

15. XIS 4.x In process
 Key improvements to both user experience and backend processes
 Upgraded to a MongoDB database
 Robust reliability and built-in features to increase our content delivery platform
 The GUI has changed significantly
 Migrated to a cloud-based web server rather than a desktop application.
 The UX was designed to have improved workflow capabilities and
 Allows key users to update XIS schemas easily and at a moment’s notice

16. XIS 4.x

19. XIS 4.x

20. Knowledge Graph/Ontology
 The Knowledge Graph / Ontology system
 Partnership with Graphifi
 Their easy-graph software simple API systems
 Connect to an ontological database platform
 Allow creation of a full ontology
 Still under early development and experimentation, the project has a lot of
work before a prototype will be available

21. Standard
Graph

22. Visual
Options So
Far

 Marketing and Communications
 High touch and digital
 Management and organization
 Flexible teams
 Matrix managed
 Software
 Theoretical
