COMPANY INFO

CAPABILITIES: For selected markets of broad interest, Forward Concepts publishes multi-client market research studies, principally for digital signal processing and related vertical markets such as videoconferencing and wireless communications. For client-specific needs, custom proprietary studies are conducted. All research is conducted by experts in the target market/technology of interest. For quick access to a broad spectrum of data, the company subscribes to a number of on-line data base services. For greater depth, the company has developed significant data bases of its own, consisting of both computer and paper files updated on a continuing basis.

METHODOLOGIES: Market research studies may be based on primary data, secondary data, or both. Our staff has conducted primary research on a global basis, including personal visits to key industry personnel, telephone interviews and mail surveys. Information collected enters a project data base, enabling statistical analysis and interpretation. Data can often be provided to the client in diskette form along with the market study report for future information access from a different perspective.

QUALIFICATIONS: Forward Concepts maintains a small permanent staff of qualified individuals with extensive industry experience. Projects are executed under the overall direction of Will Strauss, the company's founder and President. Mr. Strauss was formerly Executive VP at In-Stat Incorporated, and earlier was VP of Market Research at Integrated Circuit Engineering Corporation.
