TELLUS Business Design Workshop

TELLUS BUSINESS DESIGN WORKSHOP

The change from a traditional one-time licensing model to a recurring revenue model can be challenging for a software vendor. Questions such as change in cash flow, sales model, and channel structure will require the management to create a new business model that supports this change. While the Cloud creates new opportunities, the operational changes can be significant and thus need to be planned well in advance.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES

TELLUS Business Design Workshop is a highly interactive and proven workshop that enables an organization to articulate the value and vision of the solution and to define the financial model for the solution. The workshop includes a gap analysis that enables workshop participants to achieve an understanding and aligned with the status of the solution.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

  • What are the trends in your target market? Is there a trend cross-over from adjacent markets?
  • What is your vision of next-generation solutions?
  • How is your organization embracing technology that enables it to build solutions for the future?
  • A business model transformation will have an impact on roles and responsibilities. Do you know what these are?
  • Do you have the needed information on best practices of business model transformation?

WE DELIVER

The TELLUS Design Workshop process includes pre-study, actual workshop, and post-analysis. The deliverables from a workshop are as follows:
