RESTON, Va., -- With tighter competition for government contracts, vendors need a comprehensive solution that gives them insights into their competitors' activities. INPUT announced today the release of a new subscription product analyzing major government contractors and their market position in the federal contracting market. Vendor Intelligence Program (VIP) is a competitive intelligence product that provides data sets and timely analysis on major government vendors, and supports the competitive analysis and benchmarking needs of companies.
VIP utilizes unique methodology to predict the actions and outcomes for a particular opportunity. It helps observe other companies and the industry by scrutinizing existing, expiring, and upcoming contracts that may impact a company's performance and prospects for future opportunities. This program includes access to INPUT's analysts -- subject-matter experts in the fields of financial investments and government contracting -- allowing for a two-way dialogue filled with extensive, informed opinions. The combination of these characteristics allows a deeper insight into the vendors covered, and helps subscribers gain a competitive advantage over their peers.
Key features include:
-- INPUT bidder rating -- Utilizes a weighted algorithm that measures the likelihood that a company will bid on an opportunity
-- Projected pipeline -- Leverages the INPUT bidder rating to postulate the sales pipeline
-- Vendor analyst notes -- INPUT's take on news, issues, and events affecting vendors

"VIP is a direct response to our members who have expressed a strong interest in obtaining an in-depth perspective into the market position and business prospects of their competitors," said Kevin Plexico, senior vice president, Research and Analysis Services at INPUT.
