Mystis Solutions believes that the business development function must be tied directly and firmly to all phases of a company's operation. Whether a company is just starting out, or an established company is introducing a new product or service, business development starts with the financial planning that defines success. Business development ends only when a product or service is discontinued. In between, business development must cover customer requirements, product development and launch, sales and marketing, and customer relationship management. Every department has a role to play in business development, because every customer or supplier in the targeted value chain must understand and believe in the value proposition - and it has to make money for everyone. Mystis Solutions associates have deep experience and solid track records of achievement in creating profitable business plans. We pit the emphasis on profitability, not just revenue or market share.

CAPABILITIES Mystis Solutions can conduct extensive pre-transaction evaluation of acquisition targets, vendors or potential partners. Expertise can be provided on a technology, operational or financial perspective. Deliverables can include a plan that focuses on the strategic or tactical issues that need addressed before or after the transaction is completed.

ACQUISITION ANALYSIS Mystis Solutions consultants will provide a thorough analysis on all areas of a proposed acquisition target. At one end of the spectrum we will provide details on management teams and an opinion on their ability to deliver expected results, from senior management the first line managers in sales, customer service, and network management. At the other end we provide complete analysis on all operational areas, with a focus on the ability to deliver financial or other key results, including customer service, billing, technical, sales, installation, product development - in short, whatever business operation is critical to a good outcome for the parties to an acquisition. We also provide gap analysis between current and expected results, with recommendations for closing gaps.

VENDOR EVALUATION Mystis Solutions experts will prepare and compare vendor performance analysis including their ability to execute and deliver capabilities to your expectations. We start by ensuring a thorough understanding of our clients' requirements and reasons for examining a new technology direction or new suppliers for current technology. Mystis Solutions can prepare RFPs for our clients if necessary, and can guide the entire process of vendor evaluation and selection, all with a focus on how our clients will get the best possible return. Our technology and vendor evaluations go beyond purchase and installation - we look at life cycle costs for our clients so they have the full picture on capital investment and operations, maintenance, and administration expenses over the life of the technology.

PARTNER EVALUATION Mystis Solutions understands the need for many companies to partner with others to complement their offerings and to strengthen their appeal in the marketplace. Mystis Solutions also knows that potential partners want to get through a due diligence process quickly and efficiently, but without missing anything that is critical to a positive outcome. Mystis Solutions consultants have been there, and will provide you with quick hitting recommendations to perform your own due diligence, or will perform the due diligence on your behalf. If you are considering a partner for any aspect of telecommunications, technology, web development, or to enhance your operations, you can rely on Mystis Solutions to get the facts that are pertinent. We can also provide company valuation, deal valuation, and complete gap analysis of the business goals and likely results of any partnering opportunity.
