ProductScan

We often say that launching a product or service is like hatching an egg. Frequently, however, resources and investment decisions are made to satisfy competing agendas. Projects and products are difficult to abandon, even when more attractive options are available.



ProductScan is a MIDIOR service designed for companies that develop complex, technology-dependent products or services. Highlighting risks and opportunities, ProductScan produces a snapshot of your product, zeroing-in on business and market alignment factors and exposing underlying obstacles to success. This process gives managers and the product team an accurate reading of the state of the product or service, with quantified management metrics as well as specific observations and recommendations. This new visibility supports quicker, better-informed decisions about where to focus resources, reducing time to market and the likelihood of commercial success.
