This week marks the launch of the Business
Recovery Program, a unique collaboration between the Greater Peoria
Economic Development Council, Tada Cognitive Solutions, regional
Chambers of Commerce, and regional economic development
professionals to create a coordinated case management system to
support local businesses meet their most pressing needs as they
begin to reopen.

Whether it’s payroll stabilization, questions around public health
regulations, business development, workforce needs, or other
technical assistance, the Business Recovery Program provides a
single entrance point for businesses to share their most critical
needs and get connected with a local recovery specialist to find
solutions.
"For most businesses, getting to reopen signals the beginning of
their efforts to recover and return to better than before the
pandemic. The Business Recovery Program was built for businesses
that have struggled to find help, as well as businesses beginning to
reopen, as there will be new challenges to address in the coming
months” said Chris Setti, CEO of the Greater Peoria Economic
Development Council. “We also know time is of the essence, so we’ve
been privileged with the support of Tada Cognitive Solutions to help
us create a more coordinated, streamlined, and efficient system to
help businesses meet their most pressing needs.”

Tada Cognitive Solutions is a Peoria based software company founded
in 2016. The business intelligence company synthesizes an
organization’s business model, operating model, and data from
disparate sources to create a Digital Duplicate® of the business.
This Digital Duplicate®, or digital replica of the business, allows
users to traverse freely through the organization’s data silos and
make better, more strategic business decisions. Tada’s platform and
expertise forms the backbone of the GPEDC Business Recovery Program
designed to help Peoria-area businesses quickly connect with local
economic development professionals and resources to help them get on
track to recovery.
While the Business Response Program is led by Tada Cognitive
Solutions and the Greater Peoria Economic Development Council, it is
supported by over 30 unique organizations who are providing the
capacity to respond to businesses, providing them the support needed
to stabilize and recover over the summer months. “This is a great
example of our community's ability to pull together and collaborate
on how we can best serve our region. It also underlines the
importance of locally-owned companies like Tada Cognitive Solutions
and their incredible capacity to reinvest in the community in a very
difficult time,” states GPEDC CEO Chris Setti.
Participation in the Business Recovery Program is free, and any
information shared with case managers will be kept confidential,
never to be shared publicly. Businesses can access the BRP and
