Competitive Intelligence Services

Our competitive intelligence services offer our clients deep intelligence based on IEMR's own primary and secondary research, expert advice and opinions from former employees at competitors, and information collated from third-party research firms. IEMR takes a 360-degree view of your competition and the impact their positioning has on your business.

How can IE Market Research Corp. help?

Our broad and deep knowledge of the telecommunications, IT services, financial services, and government markets adds considerable value to our clients' competitive intelligence projects. We combine not just primary research with our own expertise but also seek out third party research and former employees of competitors that may have valuable intelligence to contribute.

Case Study

Our Client, one of the largest largest vendors of WiMax network infrastructure equipment wanted to undertake a comprehensive analysis of its competition, including deployments at the operator level in 200 markets globally. The client also wanted to get a clear sense of its competitors’ ecosystem, including such features as: the Base station partner, ASN-GW partner, HA server partner, AAA server partner, Device partner, Smart antenna partner, Chipset / component partners, Application, solutions & services partners, and OEM partners.

How IE Market Research Corp. helped?

Based on our deep understanding of the network infrastructure space, IEMR applied a combination of “off-the-shelf” and custom research approaches to meet the client’s needs. As part of our Global Mobile Operator Forecasts-- one of the most comprehensive databases of its kind in the world-- IEMR keeps track of WiMax-specific operators and subscribers that fall into WiMax deployments.

We complemented this “off-the-shelf” research with a custom project that tracked:

1) Announced deals signed between vendors and their operator clients; and

2) Partnership agreements that may have been signed between key vendors and other members of the WiMax ecosystem.

For WiMax operators / vendors for whom we could not find any information, we brought on former employees at these companies as consultants to provide advice to us on deployments and relationships that our client needed to be aware of.
