Every company is fueled by a dream – a drive that creates their essence. At Novus, we want to help introduce the world to your company’s dream and show you how your company can leverage technology and the Internet to both profit from and develop this dream.

Many development and consulting firms seem to be focused on their total client billings or the possibility of industry awards rather than addressing the unique needs of each client. Novus instead employs a wealth of industry intelligence, experience and talent to understand the complexities that create each company dream. Then, together as a team, we work on finding the best way to provide your company with viable and profitable solutions. In this way, success here at Novus is largely defined by the fruition of each individual company dream, and our ability to work together to understand why each project is unique.

Many businesses still perceive the Internet to be a self-contained entity; as an untamable beast with no visible connection to other business, brand or marketing strategies. At Novus, we deliver integrated, holistic technology solutions to your business dilemmas which we feel is vital to achieve a successful brand image. The power of Novus’s focused and unified strategic direction will bring your brand experience – your unique company dream – much closer to your audience. By understanding your individual needs, Novus facilitates an audience’s ability to develop a long-term relationship (or brand marriage) with your company, producing continued – and often new or unrealized – levels of success.

You do not have to know technology or the Internet: that’s our job. Just share your dream and we can help make it come true.

Business Intelligence

You have arrived at our website because you have taken ownership, at some level, to help your company win at the game of business. Novus has over 20 years of building business plans, marketing plans and technology strategies for a wide range of companies. We listen to clients, understand their challenges, analyze their issues, plan a course of action, implement the plan and measure the outcomes. We work hard, take no short cuts, perform our due diligence, keep our pricing competitive and understand that our success is directly linked to your company’s success.

We believe that Marketing should be based on scientific data. We want your strategic decisions to be based on information from surveys, focus groups, interviews, networking, historical data, knowledge channels from reliable sources, and firsthand experience. We understand that the human condition and buying behaviors are not always scientific so we develop a solid, measurable foundation before applying psychoanalytics.

The Novus Business Intelligence Process

We begin by collaborating with your team to create a plan of action: a business plan, marketing plan or or technology strategy; we can build whatever type of plan you need.

Ask yourself these questions:

• Where is your company now?
• Where does your company want to be?
• How does your company get there?
• Is your company there yet?

Where is your company now?

How does your company plan to win the business game?

• Provide better service
• Increase market share
• Improve adaption and customization
• Offer continuous product improvement
• Enter high growth markets
• Exceed customer expectation
• Develop innovative products or services
• Leverage competitive pricing

We suggest developing a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. This analysis identifies how your company’s internal team believes your company is performing and where it ranks in the market place. The outcome will be a list of deficiencies used in the next step.

Where does your company want to be?

Next, we suggest communicating with your primary audience(s) to understand how your products and services truly satisfy their wants and needs. This information will lead to a second list of deficiencies.

After the SWOT analysis deficiencies (how your company’s internal team perceives the company is performing) are validated by the primary audience deficiencies (how your company’s audience perceives your company is performing) the remaining items on the list become company objectives. This comparison insures that the new list of objectives is audience focused.

Common high level objectives include:

• Better communication to all market audiences
• Increase profitability
• Increase performance of distribution channels
• Improve productivity
• Decrease the bottom line
• Increase brand awareness
• Improve customer service
• Improve the customer experience
• Capture / analyze / disseminate market intelligence
• Capture / analyze / use customer information
• Develop effective sales tools
• Improve customer loyalty
• Develop product improvement process
• Better internal and external communications
• Reduce customer acquisition cost
• Measure various aspects of the business initiatives

How does your company get there?

Individual strategies and tactics are developed and aligned to the newly established objectives. It is this step of the process that monetary and fiscal budgeting is the key to success.  It is simple, without the appropriate internal or external assets the plan will fail.

Is your company there yet?

Unlike other internet or business development companies we don’t talk in nebulas terms about branding, marketing, technology or the “behind the scenes” activities that will magically produce results.

We measure your activities so you can determine what is working, what needs to change or what needs to be eliminated.  “ROI” is an acronym talked about but rarely measured. We give you the ability to measure “ROI” so you can determine if you have reached your objectives.
