Newton, Mass., November 18, 1998 Kalman Saffran Associates, Inc. (KSA), a
leading developer of state-of-the-art products for data communications,
telecommunications and interactive/CATV industries, today announced the availability
of their new QLM, an innovative process for companies looking to reduce product
time-to-market in a highly competitive marketplace. Using QLM, KSA guarantees
that companies will reduce their product development cycles by at least one-third.
Based on a scientific methodology derived from practices implemented for such
industry leading companies as Hewlett-Packard, Cisco Systems and Nortel, KSA's
QLM combines a comprehensive set of processes, techniques, tools and templates
together with a knowledge base to produce optimal results for companies in a broad
set of industries.
"KSA will decrease a company's time-to-market by one-third, possibly more," said
Kalman Saffran, President of Kalman Saffran Associates, Inc. "Our highly
experienced engineers will recommend solutions based on years of developing
products for the telecommunications and data communications industries, and then put
those recommendations to use by applying our finely-tuned methodology."
Statistics show that the first company to market a product gains a 50% share, the
second a 25% share, the third a 12.5% share, and the rest divide the remaining
12.5%. The product time-to-market interval begins from the time a product is
conceived until it is ready for use or sale, and the components of this lifecycle typically
take the average company 12-18 months. Rapid entry into the marketplace is critical
in today's high technology communications market, and KSA uses its world class
methodology to dramatically reduce this product development time. QLM can be
applied to any industry's product development. A Fortune 100 company would be
able to see an impact in about one month; a Fortune 500 company, three or four
months.
KSA has consistently brought high-quality products to market rapidly, predictably,
and at minimum cost for its Fortune 500 clients. Companies implementing QLM will
benefit from KSA's exclusive and established system of assessment, implementation,
verification, customization, and quantification to decrease their product development
time-to-market. Not only will QLM cut overall product development time by one-
third, giving companies the chance to retain the larger market shares that they are
striving for, but it will also immediately trim their development costs.
Pricing and Availability
The QLM offering is available starting at $20,000. Companies interested in QLM
analysis and recommendations or learning more about KSA's comprehensive
engineering process training program should contact Joe Bisaccio, vice president of
marketing, at 1.888.597.9284, or mailto:Bisaccio na worldnet.att.net
