Effective product planning requires careful balancing of several
conflicting factors. It's not practical to solve every
customer's every need, so companies have to pick and choose a mix that
squeezes the most revenue from their available their budget and
resources. To complicate matters, the competition is trying to do the
exact same thing. To get ahead, the most effective companies
carefully plan and synchronize factors such as the product roadmap,
vendor alliances, branding strategy, product positioning and pricing
models.

MarketPlan helped a technology client
evaluate the strengths and limitations of their product suite relative
to customer requirements and competitors. We helped them plan an
orderly migration to an open architecture and found partners who could
bring key components and marketing resources to the table. The
resulting strategy created an effective blend of proprietary and
third-party technology and branding. It reduced the client's
development investment, got them to market faster and improved their
ROI.
