Every business is a risk management snowball. Enterprises depend immensely on their survival on the correlation between their marketing initiatives and their returns. The assurance of Return on Investment (ROI) is built into every marketing strategy and tactical plan. Successful marketing is not merely a matter of glitzy TimeXtender implementation posturing. It goes far beyond PR campaigns and advertising campaigns. It goes beyond brand building or image promotion. It is about creating value for customers, delivering the goods or services smoothly and reliably, and preserving a solid reputation.

Just as strategy and tactics are about delivering benefits, it is also about delivering value to customers. Proactive business owners and managers alike understand that customers come back not only because of the quality of TimeXtender implementation products or services. They also measure success with their most valued asset: their customers. A customer ROI measure is mandatory for ROI companies and vital for those operating a service industry. It defines how much needs to be collected from customers, and what benefit is to be delivered. How much else needs to be paid that is out of the scope of the strategic marketing plan?

BI for organisations requires a TimeXtender implementation measurement system to provide a data framework for decision making and competitive intelligence.

I acquired this company with the intent to bring them into my TimeXtender implementation organisation, and integrate their data, expertise, and research capabilities to my own company. By doing so, they could provide critical business intelligence tracking for the Forex trading market. The goal was always to export all the trees that provided the base for the trees for our tree products, and provide the user with the ability to increase market assets sold, margin maximisation, and ROI measures. A purist entrepreneur with an alternative vision was going to fail in its effort to bring our IT solutions in house. In early 2005, Am Agenda went public with a market capitalization of $3.23 billion.

However, since it was never designed to serve the various vertical markets, it never acquired any key market data, deep insights, or an ability to dive deeply into data that would support the industry TimeXtender implementation development. It never had any strategy.

At launch, nearly half the competitive intelligence product demo was condescending notation vindication of AM. covers revealed themselves as other solutions that could take the numeric data over the hard reach of AM, and they did that much quickly.
