Data Governance and Management
As financial services and insurance organizations look to grow – whether
through mergers and acquisitions that result in large data conversion
projects or driving enterprise cross-selling initiatives – governance
and management of customer data is crucial. These are also crucial
issues in healthcare where adhering to patient privacy regulations is a
fundamental requirement.

Business Intelligence and Data Analytics
From portfolio performance dashboards in financial services to public
health analytics for disease screening, organizations are investing in
business intelligence and embedded analytics to gain the quantitative
insight needed to drive business decisions.

Mobile Application Development
Significant mobile application development expertise is expected to help
financial services and insurance organizations looking to rapidly
deliver mobile banking solutions on smart phones and tablets to
customers, agents and advisors alike. It is also expected to accelerate
the development of a mobile app ecosystem for the NexJ Connected
Wellness Platform. This app ecosystem should benefit people and
healthcare organizations that recognize the value of mobile health
coaching in driving sustainable behaviour change.

“Better analytics, data governance, and mobile portability are three
critical differentiators to CIOs as they look to deploy enterprise
applications,” commented Tim Stanley, President of Broadstreet Data.
“We look forward to bringing these skills to NexJ and, in turn,
introducing NexJ’s solutions to our financial services and healthcare
clients across North America.”

NexJ has agreed to pay up to approximately $8.2 million, based on the
closing price of NexJ common shares on November 1, 2012, in a
combination of cash and common shares which includes certain earn-out
provisions. On closing, NexJ paid cash of $3.2 million and issued
