Info-Tech Research Group’s 2025 Cloud IaaS Data Quadrant Report highlights top cloud infrastructure platforms based on insights from 1796 verified user reviews on the firm’s SoftwareReviews platform. The report evaluates key factors, including cloud integration, feature quality, analytics capabilities, and overall user satisfaction, providing valuable insights for organizations shaping their IT strategies for 2025.

TORONTO, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Info-Tech Research Group has published its Cloud IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) Data Quadrant Report, which identifies three providers as Gold Medalists for 2025. The report’s findings are based on data from SoftwareReviews, a division of the global research and advisory firm and a leading source for insights on the software provider landscape.

Cloud IaaS platforms help organizations scale their IT environments by providing flexible access to computing resources like servers, storage, and networking through the cloud. This approach removes the need for physical infrastructure and long setup times, making it easier to launch new projects, support remote teams, and manage data growth. With IaaS, companies can stay agile, control costs, and focus more on innovation instead of hardware maintenance.

“We are seeing a clear shift in how organizations approach infrastructure planning. Instead of relying on large upfront investments in physical systems, many IT teams are choosing cloud IaaS to stay flexible and reduce overhead,” says Jeremy Roberts, Senior Director, Research & Content at Info-Tech Research Group. “It is about being able to respond quickly when priorities shift, whether that means supporting remote teams, launching new applications, or managing unexpected demand. The ability to scale infrastructure without increasing operational complexity is becoming a key factor as organizations plan for 2025.”

Introducing BI•Q™: Brand Institute’s Suite of AI-Powered Branding Solutions

Published

By

MIAMI, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Brand Institute, the global leader in pharmaceutical and healthcare-related brand name and identity development, today announced the launch of its new suite of AI-Powered Solutions under the umbrella brand BI•Q™. These technologies are now actively integrated into the company’s market research and creative departments, enhancing the speed and strategic value of brand development for clients worldwide—and powering the future of great branding.

BI•Q is developed in close collaboration with Brand Institute’s interdisciplinary teams—spanning IT & IS, new product development, regulatory, trademarks, market research, strategy, and creative—and builds upon the company’s three decades of global branding and naming experience. These solutions strengthen the capabilities of Brand Institute’s expert staff while driving deeper alignment with the rigorous regulatory, trademark, and commercial standards that define success in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and consumer branding industries.

“We’ve always believed that great branding starts with insight and sharp execution,” said Jim Dettore, Chairman and CEO of Brand Institute.

One of the biggest opportunities in developing AI solutions is the ability to leverage the specialized knowledge of Brand Institute’s regulatory team, which includes former government officials from the divisions responsible for drug name approval at the FDA, EMA, and Health Canada (proprietary/brand), as well as nonproprietary naming groups at the AMA (USAN) and WHO (INN). These experts have contributed to the development of policy and guidance aimed at preventing drug name–related medication errors. Their deep understanding of regulatory processes and global best practices enables BI•Q to generate solutions that are not only creative and distinctive, but also grounded in the realities of pharmaceutical name approval worldwide.

“Our team’s experience reviewing and approving names, as well as shaping policy pertaining to name safety, will be key to developing AI solutions that align with the real-world requirements of pharmaceutical branding and naming,” Dettore added.

From expanding the volume and elevating the quality of name generation to accelerating pattern recognition in market research, BI•Q delivers measurable efficiencies without compromising creativity, strategy, or confidentiality. All systems are built within a secure framework designed to safeguard client data and maintain the highest levels of confidentiality throughout every stage of the branding process.

“BI•Q empowers our teams to work smarter, faster, and with even greater precision—enhancing the expertise our clients rely on,” said Bill Johnson, President and Co-CEO of Brand Institute. “We’re continually exploring new use cases that will drive further efficiencies throughout our organization and deliver even greater value to our clients.”

One of the most exciting tools in the BI•Q suite is Brandi™, Brand Institute’s AI-powered name generator. Designed specifically for pharmaceutical and healthcare naming projects, Brandi addresses a critical industry need: helping to generate the high volume of quality names required so that—even after navigating today’s stringent regulatory and trademark hurdles—standout options remain. With many pharmaceutical naming projects now demanding the creation of over 3,000 name candidates, Brandi serves as a scalable solution that elevates the exceptional creative work Brand Institute’s team is known for across the industry.

“Brandi operates under the guidance of our creative team to generate thousands of name ideas, based on the input and strategic vision we develop in close collaboration with our clients,” said Scott Piergrossi, President of Creative at Brand Institute.

Brandi serves as a complementary tool within Brand Institute’s creative process, enhancing output while keeping the company’s expert naming team at the core. As one of many proprietary resources, Brandi is designed to deliver an array of creatively compelling, easy-to-pronounce, and strategically aligned name candidates, or what Brand Institute calls “Great Names at Scale.”
