o Represent you at US based forums and consortia
o Etc.

Even help you obtain a GSA Schedule if you are targeting US Government markets!

Market Research

We perform market research that identifies opportunities (and risks!) in your markets of interest. This research provides guidelines to market potential, growth and reviews competitive factors.

On a custom basis, we identify market opportunities that fit your strategic goals, analyze them and give you a realistic view of their potential. We will work with you to develop tactical plans and programs to take advantage of the identified markets.

We regularly analyze and review the competitive environment in the following markets:
o Directory
o Messaging (E-mail, IM, Unified)
o Identity Management
o Provisioning
o PKI and Security
o Web Services

Market Strategy

We believe that your entire Marketing Program should be based on a comprehensive Market Strategy that will provide the clear direction and focus required in today's tight economic environment.

The Strategy must be realistic - yet a "stretch" - and provide the marketing team a clear direction and focus.

The key to the success of the Strategy is the establishment of measurable goals or outcomes. We work with your team to establish the goals, the path to them and the measurements which prove their achievement.

We have helped numerous organizations enter new or "adjacent" markets and make substantial profit. These include, among others:
o Introduction of a new international financial system
o Military messaging partnership with Microsoft
o Directory partnership with PKI vendor
o Evaluation - and rejection - of new markets

We help establish clarity of direction and purpose.
