Overview  | TeamOne^TM Approach & Methodology  | Knowledge Center - Industry Intelligence

To provide our clients with industry intelligence, Pegasus has established specific logical groups within the company focused on creating, analyzing, and organizing a host of intellectual products into proprietary repositories to be used by our consultants on client engagements. Each repository is comprised of white papers, third-party research and analysis, industry data, and industry-specific process templates. Quite often, we find inter-industry analysis to be as beneficial to our clients as intra-industry, which provides a different perspective for our clients to view some of their key processes. Our Knowledge Center captures Pegasus’ consulting and business expertise for emerging trends, unique business characteristics, best practices, and technical documentation in each of the following industry vertical:

• Consumer Products

Technology has changed the role and impact of consumers. Today, customers have more access and visibility to areas of the supply chain than ever before. In addition, companies looking to make their operations more cost effective are targeting inefficiencies in their operations and logistics. As competition increases, companies are looking to develop consistent brands. In this era of consumer empowerment, manufacturers need to re-establish and secure their relationships with customers through strong brands, superior delivery, efficient sales channels, and intelligent marketing.

• Pharmaceuticals / Healthcare

Pharmaceutical firms must continually flood their pipelines with new and innovative solutions to remain successful. Large conglomerates no longer have the same advantage they once possessed, as smaller biotechnology and niche manufacturers enter the marketplace. The pharmaceutical industry faces one of its exciting expansions in history, as genomic sciences and biotechnology break new ground. Firms wishing to continually be competitive must finance their R&D departments and decrease their time-to-market. Pharmaceutical sales models are changing. Managed care compensation models are forcing physicians to see more and more patients and as a result their time to see pharmaceutical reps is diminished. To counteract this decreased opportunity, firms must find innovative ways to market to physicians and also direct more targeted information to consumers.

• Financial Services & Insurance

The Financial Services industry will continue to go through significant changes and transformations. Technology, legislation, and the demands of both consumers and shareholders, have created an environment that demands globalization and consolidation on an enormous scale.

Consumers who once shopped this marketplace by location, maintaining contacts with local banks, brokerages, and insurance operations now prefer to engage the Internet to expand that marketplace. Firms whose regional dominance secured them profit and growth, today compete against firms both within and external to their city, state, region, country, or even hemisphere. Pegasus' TeamOneTM methodologies help financial services firms transform their organization to be better positioned in the marketplace.

• Aerospace & Defense

The Aerospace & Defense market is considered to be a source of technological innovation by other industries. To succeed in today's competitive environment, aerospace & defense companies must overcome a myriad of challenges. They must be able to design technologically superior products in a collaborative environment faster than ever before; accurately forecast sales quotas and operating budgets; manufacture products using a variety of lean production processes, and make sure that these products meet the most stringent tolerances.

• Chemicals / Oil / Gas / Process Manufacturing

The chemicals, Oil & Gas  industry wrestles with being a mainstay in the global economy, while continually undergoing transition and change. As the industry continues to evolve, certain themes like globalization, consolidation, and innovation are constant. These companies battle the competing influences of environment regulation and shifting consumer demand. The cyclical industry demands large asset investment and large product cycles, which can shift ay any given time.

Our chemicals/Oil / Gas/ Process manufacturing  IKCOE has developed approaches for managing complex initiatives in a manner that incorporates business and financial forecasts into the funding, staffing, and timing of large corporate initiatives. Other work includes processes for quality management in batch and process manufacturing environments.

• Automotive / Discrete Manufacturing

Better, faster, and cheaper. This has been the consistent concept within the manufacturing industry and each year new methods are developed that make achieving this goals more possible. Companies, in a constant search to differentiate themselves from the competition, find more efficient methods of quality production, bringing customers better products at better prices. Falling behind is not an option and to success manufacturing organizations must continually be progressive and innovative. Pegasus' TeamOne methodologies help you stay ahead of the trends and the competition.

• High Tech / Telecommunications

There is little doubt that the main catalyst of the push to globalization is technology. Marketplaces, consumer offerings, marketing scopes, and expectations have expanded beyond traditional barriers. Managing technology and keeping pace with the newest innovations can be a daunting task, especially in the face of intense pricing competition with short product and technology lifecycles.

• Utilities

The Utilities industry is undergoing rapid and radical change, driven by legislative initiatives and new technologies. To compete successfully, utility companies must react quickly, focus on customer service, and take advantage of enabling technologies. To thrive in a dynamic, intensely competitive, global utilities industry, you must be agile and customer-oriented, and you must harness the power of IT to help you master these challenges. To succeed, Utilities must handle requests from customer through multiple touch-points.

• Retail

Consumers have never been more in control. They have come to expect superb quality, selection, and service. And they're perfectly willing to abandon any retailer that can't deliver. In today's market, there's no margin for error. That's why smart retailers are shifting their strategic focus from product to customer -- and completely re-engineering the way they meet customer needs. Every piece of your retail value chain, from forecasting and planning to allocation and replenishment, must be focused on meeting and surpassing customer expectations. You need a comprehensive retail solution designed specifically for the new retail environment.

• Public Sector / Government

  Sure, the Internet has revolutionized communications. But for public sector organizations, the old rules still apply. Citizens need services. Public administrations must provide them. So public administrations need solutions that work. Serving constituents is the name of the game. But delivering comprehensive public services cost-effectively? That's another story.

  The question is, how can public sector organizations improve service delivery while respecting tight budgets?
