Roadmapping:

Globally, companies are facing many competitive problems. NEOS can help deal with this increasingly competitive environment through its road-mapping services. These services provide information to make better technology investment decisions by identifying critical technologies and technology gaps, and identifying ways to leverage research and development investments.

We believe that road-mapping is driven by a need, not a solution, therefore you must start with the need, not a pre-defined solution. NEOS road-mapping services provides a way to identify, evaluate, and select technology alternatives that can be used to satisfy you business’ needs.

The NEOS technology road-mapping process consists of three phases — preliminary activity, development of the technology roadmap, and follow-up activity.

Preliminary activity includes:

1. Satisfy essential conditions
2. Provide leadership/sponsorship
3. Define the scope and boundaries for the technology road-map

Development of the technology road-map includes:

1. Identify the “product” that will be the focus of the road-map
2. Identify the critical system requirements and their targets
3. Specify the major technology areas
4. Specify the technology drivers and their targets
5. Identify technology alternatives and their time lines
6. Recommend the technology alternatives that should be pursued
7. Create the technology road-map report

Follow-up activity includes:

1. Critique and validate the road-map
2. Develop an implementation plan
3. Review and update
