A project data aggregation effort

• Find out when project X will hit the market

  • Goal is to see what competitors could find

• Techniques in this case:

  • Trade show visits with sales force
    • I need it now - how soon can I get it - big order - etc.
  • Online information (emails, web, etc.)
    • Find people, places, times, normal vacation schedules, get related documents, etc.
  • Identification of key personnel and tracking
    • Elicit vacation schedules by invitations to events
