Continuous Competitive Intelligence (CCI)™

At EndGame Advantage, we turn competitive information - gathered and analyzed from a variety of sources - into actionable intelligence that helps you increase sales and develop better strategic partnerships. We help you win these daily, front line battles through a new concept called Continuous Competitive Intelligence (CCI). CCI is a comprehensive intelligence gathering and dissemination process that tracks competitive activity in your markets on a real-time basis, and then empowers different members of your organization with consistent messaging to the outside world.

Turn Competitive Intelligence into Competitive Advantage

EndGame's CCI adds true value to the customer and partner acquisition cycle - by providing an ongoing process that tracks and delivers critical intelligence to the right people, at the right time. So it's there when they need it most - at critical moments when customers and partners choose between your company - or the competition.

You've seen those big, heavy analyst reports that take months to complete and cost your company thousands of dollars? They're fine for determining market size or future market potential, but can you honestly say that these kinds of reports are directly responsible for helping your salespeople win sales? Or helping your business development executives cement strategic partnership deals?

CCI Gets Everyone on the Same Page

It's hard to depend on overburdened managers in the organization to execute their functional responsibilities (i.e., product management, marketing communications or PR), while analyzing and disseminating competitive information needed by a variety of different internal and external audiences. So we've designed the EndGame CCI process with a number of innovative and powerful techniques to keep your key communicators and strategic decision-makers up-to-date on competitive activity. EndGame personnel are experts in using unique and creative technologies such as Web Conferencing to disseminate quality intelligence to groups of employees, wherever they are in the world. And we've pioneered advanced research techniques to capture vital competitive information from both internal and external sources, which becomes an integral part of the CCI framework. In addition, EndGame’s FrontLine CI™, a key component of the CCI
process, gets everyone communicating your company's position in a consistent manner by supplying your sales and marketing personnel with calculated talking points on how to best respond when presented with competitive issues by customers, prospects, the press and analysts.

How are Companies benefiting from
Continuous Competitive Intelligence
?

Corporate Direction and Strategy

Targeted reports about high level activity in the market such as competitor's partners, acquisitions and new product lines can influence decisions regarding company strategy and direction. EndGame considers this level of competitive intelligence extremely important and strives to minimize turnaround time by offering quick data to key contacts, followed by further investigation and calculated analysis.

Sales Force Empowerment

EndGame works with marketing and sales teams to assure that information is available in a concise and consistent manner to sales professionals. EndGame is unique in leveraging CI, already created, to empower sales teams with tools to respond to competitive challenges, thus increasing sales and revenue. EndGame implements a variety of programs that have direct, trackable impact on sales revenue.

Product Development:

Knowing what products are already in the market and what competitors plan to do (and why) is an integral part of making product adjustments or creating new products. This is especially true in the internet and software industries, as new companies and emerging technologies attempt to grab market share. Relevant and timely Competitive Intelligence, accompanied with user research, is imperative to make these adjustments and come out a market leader.

Market Positioning and Strategy

EndGame provides ongoing monitoring of markets, including competitive products, pricing and distribution mechanisms. This continuous CI flow helps marketing stay one step ahead of the competition by anticipating competitor's moves. This information is especially vital in the fast-paced worlds of internet and software development.
