    To support its evaluation of best practices across multiple business performance

    F; is an analytical tool that compares companiesI performance relative to each otherwith an inte$ration of 6uantitative and 6ualitative metrics. The F; features criteria

    uni6ue to each Award cate$ory and ran's importance by assi$nin$ wei$hts to each

    associated importance of each criterion accordin$ to rost J ullivan. undamentally% each

    F; is distinct for each mar'et and Award cate$ory. The F; allows our research and

    consultin$ teams to obectively analy"e each companyMs performance on each criterion

    relative to its top competitors and assi$n performance ratin$s on that basis. The F;

    follows a 81-point scale that allows for nuances in performance evaluation! ratin$s

    onic oundry #nc.Is ;ediasite technolo$y has the potential to easily capture and

    disseminate learnin$ processes. Challen$es such as lac' of connectivity and accessibility to

    educational institutes have found a panacea in the form of e-learnin$ that is facilitated by;ediasite. #n *i$eria the demand for hi$her education is 6uadruple the capacity the country

    limited to its technolo$y services but also to the business model adopted accordin$ to

    varyin$ re$ulatory environments. onic oundry #nc. has forayed into *i$eria as part of a

    impartin$ education to those affected by accessibility issues. The proect not only captures

    content from the +. education system but also local content and screens it to students.

    The ;ediasite platform also addressed the challen$e of inade6uate bandwidth and lac' of

    smart-devices. #t allowed the content to be made available over the internet and delivered

    over customi"ed android devices! ine@pensive tablets to view the content and to tac'le the

    sensiti"es its products to specific cultural standards. mer$in$ mar'ets are crucial to onic

    oundry #nc.Is operations as 91N of revenue comes from outside the +nited tates and

    Canada. Ac'nowled$in$ varyin$ levels of technolo$ical pro$ress in emer$in$ countries% the

    company has en$ineered a technolo$y that is easily customi"ed based on the needs of the

    mar'et. Partnerin$ with local firms assume a lar$er importance where $overnments prefer

    to partner with local bodies and channel funds toward education throu$h local entities.

    Adoptin$ this% the company achieves its two-fold obective! of impartin$ virtual learnin$ and

    also complyin$ with re$ulatory mandates. .

    Criterion :$ Customer Servi"e Ada!ted to Regional ;eeds

    onic oundry #nc. is concerned with two levels of service- one that supports the buyer of

    its technolo$y and the second% the actual users of the technolo$y. The company provides

    assistance to its partners throu$h the internet and to its users throu$h local partners. The

    company adopts a sophisticated model of LTrain the TrainerI such that its local

    representatives are well e6uipped to handle 6ueries. The company also e@tends its service

    to include support to physical infrastructure such as electronic whiteboards% document

    cameras and control systems of ;ediasite. The companyIs foresi$ht is evident from its

    technolo$y desi$n that operates on low bandwidth. onic oundry #nc. thus eliminates or

    minimi"es support services arisin$ as a result of low bandwidth by ensurin$ a superior

    6uality learnin$ e@perience despite bandwidth limitations.

    Criterion go?to?mar-et@ 0odels and Im!a"t on +rowth

    onic oundry #nc.Is $o-to-mar'et model is stron$ly founded on the principle of no

    substitution for local presence% trainin$ and support. The company understands that the

    mere si$nin$ of a distribution a$reement does not $uarantee revenues% it follows up by

    ensurin$ company resources are available to educate its partners on its mission and

    vision. #nnovative thin'in$ to 'eep its partners abreast with chan$in$ dynamics of the

    industry has set the company apart from its competitors that use virtual tools such as

    email and advertisin$. Testimony to the success of this model is a Catholic elementary
