Numerate Solutions specializes in the quantitative side of marketing and business strategy, focusing on the needs of growing high-technology companies. Our services include:

• End-to-end pricing:  market segmentation, value analysis, pricing plans, pricing tools, competitive pricing, and seminars on effective pricing

• Return on Investment (ROI) tools

• Cost/revenue/profitability models

• Capacity planning models

Pricing is a particularly challenging task for high-technology products, especially new ones.  Numerate Solutions can help with all aspects of the decision, and help you invest in your own team and process.

A good quantitative model gives your strategic planners a way to test assumptions about new businesses or new products, as well as providing a valuable “what-if” capability. A good sales tool helps your Sales team close deals, and helps your Marketing team position the company with industry analysts.

The Numerate Principles of Practical Modeling:

• Ask the right questions

• Build the answers into a coherent model

• Make tools that are attractive, professional, and easy to use

Numerate Solutions also offers assistance with early-stage product management, especially in the enterprise software area.
