TxMQ’s Disruptive Technologies Group
Disruptive technologies introduce very different attributes from the ones mainstream customers historically view, and they often perform far differently along one or two dimensions that are particularly important to those customers. As a rule, existing users are unwilling to use a disruptive product in applications they already know and understand. At first, then, disruptive technologies tend to be used and valued in new markets or new applications; in fact, they generally make possible the emergence of new markets, technology and ways of doing business.
Give us a chance to see if we can use a “Disruptive Technology” to innovate your business.
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger
Blockchain and Distributed Ledger technologies hold great potential for building secure, trustless systems. These systems enable parties of all sizes to exchange information and engage in transactions. Privacy, transparency, and fault-tolerance are key advantages to distributed ledger systems.
TxMQ has experience prototyping and developing blockchain and distributed ledger based systems for both startups and enterprises. We’re a platform-agnostic shop interested in any programmable ledger. We’ve delivered applications on Hyperledger Fabric, Hashgraph, and Ethereum, and our team includes IBM Blockchain Champions.
We have a special affinity for Swirlds Hashgraph and the Hedera public ledger. Our team developed and integrated one of the first production Swirlds private ledger applications. Our Aviator framework for distributed ledger development is the fastest and easiest way for enterprise Java developers to deliver applications on Hedera Consensus Services.
Combined with our application development and integration capabilities, TxMQ can be your single source for all aspects of your distributed ledger development objectives. We can stand up the infrastructure, code smart contracts, develop the user interface, and integrate it with your existing technology landscape.

Hedera Hashgraph
Speed, Efficiency and Scalability are some of the main obstacles many organizations face when choosing a Distributed Ledger Technology. Earlier proof-of-work Blockchains consume massive amounts of energy, process transactions slowly in order to achieve security, and often are not able to scale as needed in an enterprise environment. This is where Hedera Hashgraph enters the market as a game changing DLT Option.
Some of the biggest challenges with Blockchain are solved with Hedra’s proof-of-stake public network powered by the Hashgraph Consensus mechanism. (Click here to view the white paper). Their unique algorithm powers their network and performs at over 10,000+ Transactions Per Second (TPS), offers significantly lower transaction fees equal to just fractions of a penny, and transaction confirmations within seconds. If you’re interested in implementing a DLT solution Hedera should be on the list of potential platforms for your project. Reach out today to talk to our Disruptive Technology Group and learn what DLT options that work for your DApp.

The Internet of Things
Billions of devices around the world are connected to the internet and collecting important data thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT). At home we connect refrigerators, thermostats and light bulbs, which certainly has its uses, but it’s our businesses that stand to benefit most from this technology.
IoT in business represents a growing network of internet-enabled objects ranging from temperature controlled containers to location tracking, all aimed at increasing control, improving automation and data collection. Utilizing connected devices and sensors can add new opportunities for analysis to streamline operations, increase safety, and improve overall efficiency. IoT is making our devices smarter and more responsive, improving our business operations, and merging the physical and digital worlds.
The Internet of Things is often coupled with AI, for deeper analysis of data to streamline operations and improve efficiency throughout the organization, its partners, and customers. IoT has become very popular throughout the manufacturing, shipping, and logistics industries where tracking and data-flow are needed to improve operations and run more efficiently. Some have even taken it one step further to add Blockchain technology as an underlying technology to improve trust and automate transactions through smart contracts. You can learn more about Blockchain here.

Node-RED
What is Node-RED?
Node-RED is a browser based editor that eases development so you can spend more time connecting hardware and applications, and less time worrying about the code.
Node-RED is a flow-based development tool for visual programming (or low-code programming) developed originally by IBM for connecting hardware devices, APIs and online services as part of the Internet of Things (IoT). Node-RED provides a web browser-based flow editor, which can be used to create JavaScript functions. It’s written in JavaScript, on the Node.js platform and has cross-platform implementation.
If you’re new to Node-RED or just looking for some help, we’ve created a quick reference sheet similar to our ACE Nodes Reference sheets, that can help shorten the learning curve and get started sooner. Download it for free today!
Case Studies for Disruptive Technology
Patient Benefit Management System and Data Warehouse
Industry: Healthcare/Health Insurance
Overview: A Pharmacy Benefit Management company that helps organizations provide lower cost prescription drugs to their employees was being weighed down by manual processes that have failed to scale with the explosive growth their business has experienced.
Challenge: The organization utilizes many manual, spreadsheet-based processes alongside a third-party Salesforce based system to provide their service to clients. With existing manual processes they were unable to meet increased demand to quickly scale operations.
Solutions: Our solution was to build a data warehouse, automated processes, and an easily accessible web application to replace cumbersome processes. By the end of the initial project our team also provided a plan to continue to improve operations and processes through future upgrades, and modifications.
Technologies: MS SQL Server, Node js, Angular
Blockchain Proof of Concept for a UK Real Estate Investment Firm
Industry: Financial Services, Real Estate
Overview: Our client, Helios Energia was looking to build a proof-of-concept to demonstrate the tokenization of ownership of real estate, and ability to fractionalize said ownership of real property.
Challenge: Helios, a Real Estate Investment Firm was exploring the idea of creating an application that demonstrated the ability to fractionalize ownership of real estate to lower the barrier of entry for investments.
Solutions: Utilize a Blockchain network to tokenize property within a portfolio so ownership can be easily verified, and fractionalized between several parties.

DLT Solution for Medical Credentialing Tracking
Industry: Healthcare
Overview: The Customer wanted to integrate DLT into their existing medical credentials management platform in order to enhance trust in the information and reduce the amount of time required to verify credentials.
Challenge: Verifying medical credentialing is a very lengthy process in a highly regulated industry. In most cases the process can take weeks or even months to verify credentials, and many times has to be redone for verification purposes in each instance, such as medical professionals taking on other work-as is common in the field.
Solutions: Using the customer’s existing Salesforce application, TxMQ connected it to a distributed ledger network via REST API. The system includes an innovative mechanism for storing credential documents securely, with high availability.
