Transitioning to a Platform Model: Balancing Transactions and Automation

My guest on the show today is Roy Olivier, CEO and President of Research Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSSS). Research Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: RSSS) provides cloud-based technologies to streamline the process of obtaining, managing, and creating intellectual property. Founded in 2006 as Reprints Desk, the company was a pioneer in developing solutions to serve researchers.

I did an interview on Planet MicroCap with Avi Fisher from Long Cast Advisors, where he described his thesis about Research Solutions, and so I wanted to invite on Roy to better understand the company, as well as:

• The company's pivot from an individual articles model to a platform model
• Industry tailwinds and headwinds
• What the company looks like in an OpenAccess world, and;
• Where he would like to see the company in 3-5 years

With that, please enjoy my conversation with Roy Olivier, CEO and President of Research Solutions, Inc. For more information about Research Solutions, Inc., please visit: https://www.researchsolutions.com/
