Q2i Technology + Innovation

Q2i delivers business solutions using the latest Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT).  Q2i has developed a secure data architecture, SmartDataFS, to control and manage data on and across these technologies. 

Q2i brings all the components of a transactional technology stack together.  We deliver effective solutions to enhance security and traceability of data transactions across networks, whilst enabling flexibility, without limiting the underlying technology implementation and business logic.

The Q2i platform ensures transaction integrity across smart contracts.  

Q2i is NOT a new blockchain, it is a platform built to be agnostic to blockchain networks. 

Q2i recognise that selection of a blockchain network is a strategic or preferential decision.  An implementation of the Q2i platform embeds an operational risk management approach to any exposure to shifts in blockchain adoption. Thus, enabling the commercial utilisation of the best of breed network(s) for either industry sectors and/or specific business applications.

Q2i has three pillars:

SmartDataFS

SmartDataFS Q2i blockchain controlled platform.  Designed, developed and maintained by Q2i. 

SmartDataFS is an encrypted, verifiable and controlled system that uses blockchain to maintain ownership, activity and access to create a controlled, and secure platform.

Secure it

SDFS combines blockchain, encryption, data transfer and storage into a simple interface, accessible via a web application or through native Windows Explorer drag and drop.

No unencrypted data in any memory or storage space.

Store it

Files are always stored in an encrypted format and the owner can choose to share both files and a method for decryption with other users (who must be known to the owner) in a way that each sharing activity is unique and can be rescinded by the owner.

Optimises data storage on blockchain nodes by allowing data to be shared and copied intelligently.

Control it

As files are shared they become visible and actionable by the other users and, through the actions of the data transfer and storage layers, only the files that a user either owns or has been granted access to will be physically transferred.

Data control regime has GDPR compliance embedded.

Support it

The system is NOT LIMITED by file type and can support widely used file formats such as PDF, Word, Excel and also streaming for large files such as mp4 and mp3.

Products

The generic architecture is applicable to spectrum of industries. Larger clients are deploying the wider platform. Q2i has begun productising the platform to make the feature set available to discrete customer bases.

Platform Adoption and Deployment

Financial Services - KYC/AML – pay per use calculations

Retail - Global supply chain distribution and payment audit

Q2iD

Is a standalone interface to the secure exchange and tracking of Identity data and documents. Q2iD includes the definition of permissions and rights to users as the document propagates across the network. It provides full auditability and control of documents.

Q2iDataRoom

Securely store and share information with other parties. Provides document level management, audit trail of activity, proof of origin, integrity and ownership.

Q2iPay

Q2iPay provides a direct connection between a blockchain transaction and both a cash payment AND/OR a digital asset.

Q2iPay remains blockchain agnostic whilst the transaction payments can be multi-currency, including OpenBanking, or access wallets for digital assets. [Q2iPay – PaaS + Blockchain]

Q2iPay has the functionality to construct a payment with a smart contract so that conditional events, such as authorisation and approval, can be defined. This enables the managed automation of payment logic between counterparties. 

Q2iPay inherits the Q2i platform features. In particular, Q2iD enables AML/KYC frameworks to be maintained dynamically and the data or meta-data can be defined to support intelligent transactions.
