SINs 874-1, 874-1RC: INTEGRATED CONSULTING SERVICES

IHS Global Inc. provides consulting to its clients in several categories of business improvement services. These include consultative efforts related to strategic planning, performance measures and indicators, productivity improvement, and program and measurement evaluations.

These services are quantitative in nature, and are leveraged off of the firm's data, modeling and forecasting capabilities.

Strategic Planning IHS Global Inc. (IGI) offers an array of strategic planning services oriented toward market planning and scenario risk assessment across several different market segments as well as project feasibility analysis used for long-term planning by both government and private sector clients. The firm has considerable experience in these efforts across a variety of industries, including agriculture, transportation, banking and finance, energy, telecommunications, and global tourism. These capabilities are especially useful in the government marketplace as agencies formulate plans and policies that affect various sectors of the economy. The kind of long-term planning and risk assessment consulting that is typically offered will assist agencies in some of their direct operations and will help them evaluate alternatives in an uncertain business and/or political environment.

In the context of market planning, IGI develops information and strategies that are used to target new lines of business and approaches for strengthening existing segments. The typical consulting engagement addresses the following issues: how big is each market segment, by industry, by business size class, by consumer segment, by geographic location, and by product usage; what does this information indicate about the market share for each segment and geographic area; what are the underlying growth prospects for each segment. IGI provides customized consulting to more precisely forecast sales nationally, regionally, and locally by market segment; and to effectively and efficiently allocate marketing resources.

Another service provided by the firm involves the provision of consulting assistance for long-term planning efforts in the context of evaluating the economic and financial viability of infrastructure projects around the world, including ports, highways, airports and railways. IGI generates an assessment of the economic environment and demand factors that determine the success or failure of multi-million dollar infrastructure projects - whether for the federal government, local authorities, or the private sector. Risks associated with such projects can be reduced significantly by these project feasibility consulting efforts, which combine analysis and forecasting capabilities of global, regional and national economies to determine the likely environment for a particular project. IGI helps address issues linked to decision-makers' needs by evaluating policies, economic and trade competitiveness factors, industry benchmarking, and planning on a global basis. The firm provides key strategic information in its consulting for use in developing concession strategies, investment decision-making, and alternatives for facilities expansion.

Other strategic planning services include scenario risk assessments for selected industries such as energy, telecommunications, agriculture, and banking and finance. These services incorporate policy and regulatory uncertainties as well as evaluating the effects of alternative

IHS Global Inc. 5 economic growth assumptions on the performance of a particular industry. For example, IGI has provided consulting to its energy clients on strategic issues examining the effects of deregulation, the tightening of air emission standards, and other proposed regulatory changes.

In the case of agriculture, the firm has the unique capability to evaluate and assess alternative government policies, such as agricultural policy reform, NAFTA, bilateral and multilateral trade agreements, WTO, etc.

Performance Measures and Indicators For both public sector and private sector clients IGI has developed performance measures and indicators in order to assist policy-makers and executives in the decision-making process. In a market planning context, our forecast consulting services provide external market-driven information that is integrated with internal company data in order to provide sales performance measures that reflect both internal capabilities and market realities. For public sector clients, we provide benchmarking services that help to evaluate an economy's strengths and weaknesses in order to assess the impact of government policies on growth and prosperity.

These effects are compared to similar situations in other countries.

Productivity Improvement IGI provides productivity improvement consulting services to both private sector clients and government clients at the Federal and state and local levels. In a private sector market research context, target-marketing applications include an assessment of the returns to resources expended on advertising, promotional, sales, and other marketing resources. In an information technology context, the firm offers consulting services to assess the effect of telecommunication expenditures on firm productivity. For both government and private sector clients, IGI can advise on the productivity implications of changes in tax and regulatory policy on selected industries, e.g., transportation, energy, banking, etc. The firm also provides very specific productivity improvement services to both government and private organizations that are transitioning their acquisition procedures and policies toward an electronic commerce format.

Program Evaluation IGI offers an array of evaluation services that are used by our national and international government clients in assessing alternative economic development strategies. These include the evaluation and audit of the existing information infrastructure, including assessments of existing measures and the collection and processing of vital information for decision-making;

evaluation of industry cluster strategies designed to accelerate growth; and evaluation of tax, infrastructure investment and education policies designed as key inputs into the competitive cluster formation process.

Expertise in Business Intelligence In IHS extensive experience with government and private sector clients, it routinely encounters situations in which operational business decisions are made by management in the absence of informed data insight. In many of these instances it is not a lack of data, but rather an inability to access or uncover the value in the data in a timely or coherent manner, consequently, IHS Global Inc. 6 decisions are implemented without a clear understanding of the insight that these data may provide. Whether it's managing the world's largest private dataset, developing sophisticated econometric models, conducting data mining, or developing other analytical techniques to identify trends, patterns, and relationship in data, IGI business is about uncovering hidden value in data.

In developing these services, IGI employees must be able to quickly evaluate trends in data, understand outliers, drill down into key data segments, and uncovers hidden relationships.

Given the complexity of data and time sensitive demands of our services, IGI has developed advanced methodologies and approaches to support timely and accurate business intelligence analysis that facilitates our ability to focus the majority of our time on being analysts and economists rather than programmers and data managers. As a result of our experience with managing data and uncovering its value, IGI believes it is critical that clients also develop appropriate information systems to facilitate their ability to leverage their data to make informed business decisions relevant to modernizing their operations and addressing key program issues. For the past 50 years, IGI has been helping clients accomplish this objective.

IGI also recognizes that without a clear and coherent strategies to identify and extract the information in data, businesses often fail to grasp its contribution to making informed decisions. In many instances businesses hire IT firms to develop advanced Management Information Systems or implement expensive Customer Relation Management (CRM) software with only limited success. One of the key reasons for the failure of such implementation strategies is that IT firms often lack a full understanding of the client's business, data, and the appropriate analytical tools and techniques necessary to extract information from data. Unlike IT companies that focus on software as a solution to management information, IGI’s core business is uncovering the valuable information contained in data. As a result, we believe that to unlock the information hidden in data requires the following four key phases of work:

Business Objectives Discovery: The development of a detailed understanding of the client's business and objectives as related to underlying data;

Inventory of Data and IT Infrastructure: Inventory of existing data and IT infrastructure for accessing and investigating data;

Identification of Appropriate Analytical Tools and Techniques: Identification of the statistical tools and techniques appropriate to leveraging existing data to inform decisions to support identified business objectives;

Identification of IT Solutions Consistent with Objectives: Based on the information obtained from the prior three phases, investigate available IT solutions to identify those consistent with objectives, current infrastructure, and data.
