DS Forecast provides a unique combination of highly-detailed bottom-up market forecasts and easy-to-use online analysis tools. This combined package delivers an unprecedented capability that enables you to better understand your competitive landscape, navigate your markets, identify potential new business and then develop strategy to focus efforts and resources on pursuing the most attractive opportunities.
- Year-round Planning and Real-time Strategy - Once you have defined and mapped your organization's Addressable and Custom Markets into DS Forecast, you will have current and truly relevant market intelligence at your fingertips all year long. DS Forecast can be used to coordinate, roll-up or modify your local or company-wide strategies as needed throughout the year based on the latest awards and other developments.
- Truly Relevant Market Assessments - Use DS Forecast's Custom Market and Addressable Market tools to define markets based on how you and your organization view your business. Addressable Markets help you identify your head-to-head competitors and potential partners. Combine with pre-defined segmentations - or your own Custom Segmentations - to subdivide, dissect and understand the critical elements of your markets. Once you find something of interest, you can drill down to find all of the bottom-up detail you need.
- Trend Analysis - The DS Forecast interface enables you to quickly and easily identify trends, drivers and issues in your core markets as well as any attractive adjacent markets. You can easily view growth rates, market share and program-level detail on the fly to understand your competitive landscape and significant developments at a glance.
- Corporate-wide Coordination - Use DS Forecast to facilitate inter-company dialogs to ensure addressable and pursued markets of each operating unit are coordinated and deliberate. Standardize company-wide processes to promote consistency and efficiency.
- Business Planning - Identify potential gap-filling technologies, acquisition targets and potential strategic partners. Access bottom-up detail to understand enabling technologies and support capital investment planning. Use DS Forecast as an objective cross-check for internally-generated forecasts.
- More Time for Analysis - Leverage your analysis resources and focus due diligence activities on only the subset of programs that are most relevant to your business. Free up time for deeper analysis, faster response or more projects per year.
