Forecasting

The rapid pace of change in today's business environment magnifies the importance of quality forecasts. To prosper in this environment, you must be able to project future developments in an organized, responsible, and timely manner. Over 25 years of forecasting experience has made TFI one of the world's premier practitioners in this field. We actively use a large number of different techniques that allow us to customize forecasting projects to your specific needs and preferences. These techniques include both analytical and expert-opinion methods.

Clients typically use TFI Forecasting to:

  • Identify and evaluate new technology-based products and services.
  • Project technology advances.
  • Define market needs for new technologies.
  • Project market adoption rates for new technologies.
  • Formulate strategic models of future developments.
  • Estimate economic lives and depreciation schedules for technology investments.
  • Develop cash flow models for technology investments.

Unless you want a completely independent TFI forecast, we will work closely with you to integrate your subject matter expertise with our forecasting capability. This ensures the forecast's relevance, validity, and acceptance and provides you and your organization with practical forecasting experience. Beside developing specific forecasts, we can also help you develop your own forecasting program or independently evaluate other forecasts.

Clients who have utilized TFI Forecasting include Samsung, Rochester Research Institute, NSA, NIMA, Hughes Space and Communications, Advanced Micro Devices, and BellSouth.
