Kenya - Startup under 3 years old

Describe your project or startup in a few words

Quantum Cloud is a technology which is useful for online computer application users. It serves as an intermediary between the client and the server. It stores data as long as connection is not established and then sends them online when connected

01.01 Describe your startup in more detail

Quantum Cloud is an intermediary software which listens to both your actions on your intended online device and internet connectivity. When connection is not stable it encrypts and stores data temporarily in your device. When the connection is established the stored data is then transmitted to the destined servers. Quantum Cloud acts as your temporary connection when internet connectivity is weak or not available but the action should be online. This is useful to reduce issues of server downtime and breaking of key services while in operations like banking softwares, Hospital Management Softwares, Restaurant Softwares, mobile applications etc

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

I will handle that in 3 practical scenarios. 1. Someone has multiple branches of his business in different geographical locations. They need a consolidated reports of all the branches. And can compare in one platform performance of each branch. The only way is to use an online Software to carry out business operations. Facts remain facts that internet in Africa is still developing and therefore there are regions with low networks and unreliable internet. Quantum Cloud comes in handy to carry the burden of unreliable internet for you and you will still achieve. 2. Sometimes Servers face downtime. This paralyzes online business operations day in day out. Quantum will stand in and check for you after every second and will send all data when the connection is restored. 3. Not long ago the country faced an undersea internet cable cut which impacted on the internet speed. Quantum Cloud stood in for the users until restoration and we have happy clients who appreciated its contribution

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your startup provides (at least 3).

1. Seamless online/ offline operations as the user do not have to care whether they have stable or unstable internet connectivity, Quantum Cloud works the magic. 2. Uninterupted flow of operations even if internet connection is cut in the middle of operations. 3. Quantum Cloud has unlimited capacity and stores data in an indexed manner which therefore do not limit the users. 4. Intergratablity with other APIs which makes it robust and easy to use . 5. Allows for interegional networking making it be called the 'the virtual internet' . This makes it possible to link all your points of operations without any fear of internet interuptions and server downtimes. 6. Tested and safe for data security and data loss. 7. Economical to use as no any other cost is required in device modifivation. It is a software.
