Market Studies
Services With Insight
The strength of Market Studies is that it looks behind the facts to investigate and understand the forces that drive any new developments. Its services include:
The OTR-Group method of report writing has been refined to produce concise, accurate and focused reports. Typically, OTR-Group's projects are unique and involve our analysts collaborating to find innovative ways to enhance the client's knowledge. We make sure that your ICT spending is flexible enough to become efficient and effective for your business expansions.
Technology Suppliers And Users
Our clients, both technology suppliers and technology users, approach us with specific questions. Our approach to answering these, in the form of studies, is unique and enables us to give unambiguous answers, supported by examples and relevant interviews.
Typically, a client might want to consider entering a market and might want to know the views of relevant purchasers or suppliers.
Another client might want a detailed survey of a European market to assess the projected market penetration of their particular products.
An area we are often asked to investigate is the relevance of a prior-art within a given space for patent applications.
Business Studies And Reports
We are frequently asked to write summary papers on ICT areas that will affect a company or government body in the future. We will conduct a survey (often worldwide) to assess solutions for a particular type of problem, what solutions are available and the scalability, robustness and accessibility of such solutions.
Competition Watching
Where specialist ICT functions or products are being covered, we are often asked to investigate who else is in a particular market and their breadth.
Presentation
Once completed, we present a summary of our findings to the client, answer any supplementary questions and open discussions on our studies.
