CLIENT CHALLENGES
- A telecom major was looking for potential targets for partnership in five different service areas – enterprise connectivity, managed network services, unified communications, cloud services and aligned professional services
OUR APPROACH
- Acuity Knowledge Partners (Acuity) conducted a vendor identification exercise for strategic alliance by mapping the existing business models and visions through the following ways:
- Consultative research approach - Utilising its telecom domain expertise, Acuity recommended a methodology and defined the research approach to achieve the client’s ultimate objective
 
- Initial screening- Identified companies in focused sectors and created an initial list based on operating/delivery capabilities in identified regions
 
- Filtering based on specific synergies- Mapped the shortlisted companies in other four service categories, filtered initial 100 companies and conducted a deep-dive analysis to identify and suggest three to four closely mapped companies
 
IMPACT DELIVERED
- Acuity identified partnership opportunities for the telecom giant based on attractiveness of the target; criteria included breadth of service portfolio, network assets, client focus, global footprint, presence in Asia and relationship with third-party vendors
