BUSINESS PLAN / MODEL DEVELOPMENT

QSI's primary expertise lies in assisting clients who rely upon complex, interconnected networks in the integrated information environment. QSI's management consultants have developed customized strategic solutions for both domestic and international clients ranging from $50 billion market leaders, start-up organizations, as well as the very government agencies that are responsible for regulating these companies and the networks on which they rely. As new policies and technologies emerge (IP-enabled services, powerline broadband, new and improved cable technology, etc.) for network industries, the ability of a firm to maximize opportunity and minimize risk has become a "moving target." Accordingly, tailoring a business plan that is specific to the needs of the firm and sufficiently flexible to adapt to evolving regulations and technology is of paramount importance. The convergence of computers, telephones and television into a single integrated information environment creates special challenges and opportunities for the interconnected parties.

Through market analysis, strategic planning, econometric/financial modeling, network engineering and litigation support, QSI develops and implements business plans for its clients that pinpoint their best competitive advantage and maximize the available opportunities. QSI provides its clients with a full suite of services related to business planning, including evaluating potential revenue opportunities, establishing business plans, developing engineering solutions, evaluating funding/financing needs, and executing business plans.

QSI has extensive experience in developing product price plans, identifying the target market for product distribution, and developing product promotional plans for its clients. QSI also estimates projected revenues and costs for its clients so that projected revenue streams and capital requirements can be calculated. QSI has also assisted clients in obtaining regulatory certification throughout the nation and is therefore well-positioned to assist clients in cost-effectively obtaining the necessary regulatory certification to expand their business into new markets. Furthermore, QSI provides clients with business planning on a day-to-day basis so that we can evaluate the progress of its clients in achieving the goals and objectives of their business plans and work with its clients to meet those goals and objectives. QSI also employs an experienced research and support staff providing its clients with up-to-date information critical to strategic decision making.

In addition to the strategic business planning services QSI offers , QSI uses business modeling techniques to ensure that the business plans of its clients remain sustainable and profitable for the long-term. QSI employs sophisticated econometric modeling techniques in order to: better understand the internal cost structure of multi-product, network-based firms; predict how the complex structure of network industries will change due to evolving regulations and technology; and develop strategic solutions for responding to the evolving industry structure.
