Despite their role in the information economy, IT executives are
relatively starved for information about their markets, customers,
targets and competition. Besides, they are continually challenged
by insufficient budgets as they try to improve their intelligence.
At ValueNotes,
we offer software executives a refreshing alternative. We are pioneering
the use of the "global delivery model" in knowledge /
intelligence delivery. Either on a project basis or an outsourced
model, we leverage our well-honed and cost efficient global delivery
model for affordable and actionable intelligence in four key areas,
- Competitor intelligence studies covering competitor activity, market share, strategies and profiles
- Customer intelligence studies covering perceptions, attitudes, demand-supply gaps, purchasing patterns
- Market intelligence on pricing, products, alternatives, supply chain landscape
- Target intelligence for joint ventures, alliances and partnerships
We have executed more than 100 projects for IT companies (software,
hardware, peripherals and consumables). Some key projects include,
