Special challenges

• Major upheavals in the satellite market were causing the client's sales and profits to stagnate, which led to unsatisfactory forecasts.
• Pressure on profit margins: Bandwidth, the client's core product, is becoming a commodity service.
• Competition from new providers and substitutes: In the company's core business area of television, broadcasters have been churning out more and more to alternatives such as DVB-T and IPTV.
• Corporate communications: The complex demands of co-ordinating activities within a multinational corporation had to be taken into consideration.

Results
A sustainable positive development of outcomes:

• Introduction of new product lines with partners
• Growth that is substantially higher than average
• A massive increase in the volume of orders
• Above-average contribution to the corporate group's profits
