Competitor and Market Analysis
Knowledge of a company's competitors is essential for planning future business growth for practically every industry. Strategy for future products and services should take into account competitor offerings - both current and planned. Often the pressures of developing current products and services coupled with the complexity of such technology-based products and services mean that analysis of a competitor's product and service strategy is a difficult and sometimes neglected undertaking. With years of experience of technology-based companies Ammeon can help with the following elements of competitor analysis:
- Identify competitors
- Gap analysis between current position and market or desired position
- Analysis of current competitive offerings - SWOT analysis for each competitor
- Identify ecosystem factors that may influence future product and service strategies (for example the work of standards bodies)

Vendor Evaluation
When deciding on a vendor for a particular new service, operators typically follow a formal process ensuring that the right technical solution is selected at a competitive price. Once the requirements are captured from the stakeholders for the service, some or all of the following steps need to be followed:
- Conduct RFI/RFP/RFQ process
- Generate technical tender specification for any new service platforms required
- Definition of a traffic model which will be used to compare pricing from the various vendors
- Development of a tender response scoring mechanism. This is typically done before tenders are received and will often include a defined set of weightings for each requirement
- Leadership or participation in an evaluation committee.
Ammeon has experience of participating in, and leading vendor evaluation exercises. Our experience spans a broad range of technologies including wireless messaging, mobile data services and core networks.
