Product Highlights
Key Highlights include the following:
- What's in Play? - any data service can give you a list of manufacturing accounts, but what is most important is to find out which are most likely to buy your technologies. In other words, what accounts and technologies are in play and likely to be replaced soon. Sophia is the only data service to provide this data on over 170 manufacturing technologies.
- Web Based Design - designed for busy sales and marketing personnel, the database can be accessed from anywhere in the world via our simple web interface that is designed for business users. No need to be a database whiz, this business user interface quickly unleashes the power of the database in seconds.
- Manufacturer Technology Profiles - Use filters to generate manufacturer profiles from our list of thousands. Each profile includes revenues, IT spend, competitive comparisons, hardware, software, services, and key personnel.
- Vendor Profiles - Choose from hundreds of profiles of technology vendors. Each profile includes key contacts, customer references, platforms and segments supported as well as individual solution overviews.
- Vendor Scorecards - Run reports such as "Who offers business intelligence software?" and get a comprehensive list of vendors and the segments in which the solution is offered. Click through to any vendor profile and their customers and full solution portfolio.
- Enterprise Access - unlike other research firms that charge on a per seat basis, your subscription to Sophia comes with enterprise access to the data.
- Estimated IT Spend - with this edition we have added estimated IT spend for hardware, software, services and labor/overhead for each manufacturer based on industry survey results. This includes both capitalized and expensed IT spend to help vendors and manufacturers better align their spending to industry leaders.
- 1-Minute Mailing List Creator - within 60 seconds Sophia creates output to Excel for a query as complex as a targeted list of CIO, IT, and Supply Chain personnel for Business Objects (SAP) Business Intelligence users in Pharmacutical Manufacturers with over $1 Billion in sales. Choose your list by title, segment, sales, hardware, software or services installed.
- 1-Minute Query Builder - through easy to use forms, simply point and click to create a query of hardware, software or services installed in over 1,400 consumer goods manufacturers.
- Output to Excel, HTML or PDF formats - easily get output to Microsoft Word or Excel so that you can manipulate the data and use it in your every data activities.
Choose from one or many of the following segments:
Apparel, Shoes, Jewelry - Items typically purchased in shoe, clothing or jewelry store
Automotive - Items from components to replacement parts to entire vehicles
Electronics, Recreation - Audio, Visual, Computer, Photographic, Sporting Goods and Recreational products
Food, Beverage, Tobacco - Items typically found in a food or convenience store suitable for consumption
Hard Goods - Items typically purchased at a hard goods retailer not covered elsewhere in this list such as: appliances, tools, containers, packaging, furniture, fixtures, home construction components, office supplies, personal and household products
Pharma - Pharmaceutical products, both over the counter and prescription
Our purpose is to help answer the following types of questions.
- How can we cost-effectively target key opportunities and individuals in manufacturers to save money on our marketing costs and get more wins?
- Based on the age of the equipment or the manufacturer's performance, what types of systems would probably be most attractive to this manufacturer?
- How much does this manufacturer spend on IT systems for hardware/software/services.
- Who should I partner with to have the best chance of success in a particular account or market segment?
- How can I enable my sales people to be able to make more calls, more effective bids, and close more deals?
- Which customers have older equipment that are likely to be replacing that equipment in the next 12 months? What migration issues must we consider?
- What platforms are out there in certain segments that we have to consider?
- Who are the key personnel in the manufacturer that I need to contact, to win over, to know their names so we can get past the receptionist?
- What vendors seem to have a strong account presence in this account or segment?
Sophia provides information on the Manufacturer's financial performance, IT systems being used, key personnel, and comparisons to their key competitors. It can also be used to determine market share of key technology players, the financial performance of their customer's and key prospects for partnerships.
