Abstract
The way in which consumers and business engage is inefficient and relies on separate
entities interacting in an expensive, non-user-friendly manner. This creates a broken
experience for customers and businesses. Entities operate in silos, assimilating data from
multiple sources in order to seek out service providers, or optimize ad spend and ROI. As
consumers and clients engage digitally, significant amounts of data is generated but is not
captured appropriately or ethically in order to maximize the benefits of the data for both
consumers and businesses.
Due to the scope of the HiLynk project, the majority of this paper will discuss the MVP
which focuses on the retail (client) facing UC and social media consolidation application
enabling robust communication features between HiLynk users. Total project scope will be
discussed regarding the integration and synergy of the retail and future business
applications as well.
