• Market expansion strategy

A leading telecommunications Operational Support System (OSS) provider was experiencing a drop in their core business due to industry downturn and the aging of many of their core products. They wanted to evaluate ways in which they could take advantage of new opportunities in the wireless and broadband areas - either through expanding existing capabilities or acquiring new capabilities.

XD3 performed an initial strategic assessment of markets that overlapped the OSS area to determine if any should be considered as growth opportunities. We then performed an in-depth analysis of the mediation, provisioning, and billing markets and identified trends and opportunities. Our analysis included detailed research on existing vendors/service providers and their capabilities. XD3 produced specific recommendations regarding the expansion of existing assets and the opportunities for acquisitions of additional assets. The Company (XD3's client) was itself acquired before the recommendations could be fully evaluated or implemented. Of note, the asset recommended for acquisition by XD3 was, in fact, bought by a competitor of the Company within the next 6 months.
