Just
what is
competitive
intelligence? In
a nutshell, it is a
multi-faceted discipline
that allows your company to
make targeted strategic
decisions that will allow
you stay one step ahead of
your competitors in areas
such as product/service
launches, pricing, mergers
and acquisitions, etc. In
today’s ultra-competitive
business environment you
ignore your competitors at
your own peril. The right
competitive intelligence
consulting firm will allow
you to gather and sift
through the terabytes of
data that exist and organize
it into actionable
intelligence that can be
used to essentially “one up”
your competitors. Cipher
Systems does this better
than any other CI firm all
while upholding the high
ethical standards set forth
by the
Society of
Competitive Intelligence
Professionals,
or SCIP, of which we are a
proud partner.
Many
of Cipher’s competitive
intelligence staff are
published authors of
industry-related articles in
competitive intelligence
periodicals such as
Competitive Intelligence
Magazine. These
articles, which we have
archived in our
competitive
intelligence library
for
your convenience, present
the best practices and tips
to help you maximize your
own CI function. Our CEO is
also one of the founding
instructors at the
Johns Hopkins
Carey Business School
Certificate in Competitive
Intelligence Program.

it is analysis frameworks
that you seek then you must

Strategic
Analysis Frameworks page.
Our
competitive
intelligence software,
Knowledge.Works
includes a unique collection

tutorials to help guide you
through the frameworks most
used in business today. Our

Too
many companies think that
performing a competitive
intelligence research
function simply means
gathering competitor and
industry data, but that is
just the first step. If you
do not transform that data
into actionable intelligence
then you have just wasted
much time and money. It is
simply not enough to just
peruse the news, and this is
where
Cipher
can help. Cipher’s
competitive
intelligence consulting
services
are
here to assist your
competitive intelligence
team or act as a
complete
intelligence desk function
to help your business Turn
Information Into Knowledge.
