What we do for you . . .
	Planned or Recently Formed Companies Planned ventures and young companies have unique requirements - and typically more of them. This includes young companies that have a successful base established and want to grow to the next level and beyond. Some typical areas of need include: • Business plan development and initial financial analysis • Organization and start-up • Systems definition and basic implementation • Development of key sales and marketing systems and strategies • Database, website and information systems • Market and product research and analysis
Existing Companies That Want Improvement Many organizations are well established and successful. They are often lacking, however, in organization infrastructure and systems that most effectively employ their resources or address their needs. Continued success and growth requires attention to these often missing elements from the entity. While needs can include those above, many other requirements may exist: • General operational audit • Strategic plans - general and specific functional areas such as sales • Implementation or conversion of major systems • Specific project design, analysis and implementation • Coordination with outside services • Troubleshooting • Management liaison • Public relations and external event coordination
	Operations Executive On Loan Companies of all sizes and business tenure have needs for a senior operational executive that they can't always justify on a full-time basis. What they require is the knowledge and experience of a seasoned professional, but the cost impact of a part-time association. We can work with you in that capacity, and in a manner that is both flexible and cost effective. You derive the benefit of an executive that understands your company and market through an on-going association, while incurring the costs of limited participation. The role of a part-time operations executive can include many areas that regular staff can't or don't address effectively: • Specific project expertise, such as database, web and information systems integration • General availability to senior staff and department heads • Attendance at management meetings • Objective input for operations and systems change • Assistance in crisis management • Personnel issues • Assistance in regulatory compliance • Long-range planning
Franchise Development CIDI Systems is developing a series of franchise systems, and has conducted considerable research into this somewhat complex process. We can work with local companies seeking to grow their business via the franchise route, putting the lessons to work that we are learning in our own ventures, including: • Basic investigation of franchise feasibility • Market analysis • Business plan and financial analysis • Franchise regulatory compliance (coordinate with outside counsel) • Uniform Franchise Offering Circular development • Franchisor operation support systems • Franchisee support systems • Sales, marketing and staffing Top of Page Return Home
