Market research and analysis
Understanding the market for your product is critical to the success of your
business, as it provides the basis for defining and positioning products in the
marketplace as well as identifying new business opportunities.
Integral's market research and analysis can provide insight for your business
by
Estimating market size and growth
Determining market share for your company or competitors
Identifying new markets for existing products
Analyzing competitor strategies
Defining and characterizing market segments with unique product
requirements, or by
Forecasting technology adoption.
Integral's market research tools include surveys, focus groups and customer
feedback for conducting primary research. Secondary research can be performed by
analyzing published forecast data, world wide web information and trade
publications.

Integral Marketing can also employ analytical modeling which can be used
alone or in conjunction with market research.
|
| Analytical modeling creates a
quantitative representation of
the market (eg. via spreadsheets),
demonstrating the interaction
between market strategies and
business performance. This
modeling capability can be used to |
 |
| predict product demand, analyze the impact of
pricing actions, simulate responses to competitor actions, and create a number
of "what if" scenarios.

Product Management and Planning
New products are the lifeline for many high technology companies. Good
product definition and positioning can mean the difference between market
success and failure. Integral Marketing can assist you with any portion of the
product life cycle from product concept to product launch to end of life,
including the development of a full marketing plan or product launch plan.
Other product-related services include assessments of product or technology
viability, product competitiveness, and sales effectiveness. In addition,
Integral can develop sales training materials and conduct sales training
sessions.
Strategic Partners
Firms often decide that it makes more sense to partner with another company
rather than deploy internal resources. Whether your company is considering
partnering in sales and marketing, technology licensing, or in another
functional area, Integral Marketing can identify and qualify partner
organizations
