• Business Dilemma:
  A leading telco wanted to build a 5-year plan to better cope with challenges and opportunities in the market and new technological developments. The company approached TASC to help build this long-term strategy.

• Process:
  Our team analyzed the client’s full range of activities and performed a comprehensive SWOT analysis deriving from market competition, technological trends, and regulation. We then developed a growth-engine strategy encompassing all of our client’s activities, including broadband and pay TV. Based on a segmental vision of the company’s customer base, we designed unique value propositions and built an economic potential model for new offerings such as an ISP, triple packages and entry into the mobile market.

• Strategic solution & impact:
  The strategy was fully executed and led to an impressive increase in performance, cementing the company as a leading telecommunications group in the Israeli market.

• Business Dilemma:
  Israel’s Ministry of Communications conducted an auction for 5G spectrum in August 2020. Prior to the auction, the mobile-network operators had to evaluate the auctioned spectrum value, develop a business plan for deployment of investments, and design a bidding strategy to win the desired amount of spectrum at minimal prices (considering the complicated auction design – Combinatorial Clock Auction).

• Process:
  Our team cooperated with the client’s engineering team to assess a deployment plan; performed research on 5G use cases; built a 10-year business plan to decide Go/No Go and the auction’s value for the company; ranked all possible spectrum bundles in terms of network quality and economic impact; analyzed competitors’ preferences and assumed auction strategy;  and defined a comprehensive bidding strategy with a focus on risk management.

• Strategic solution & impact:
  With the counseling of our team, the mobile-network operator participated in the auction, won the desired amount of spectrum and paid the lowest price of all the competitors.

• Business Dilemma:
  The business of renting data center space has been growing rapidly, specifically by clients from sectors that are not typical co-location clients. A leading off-site data-center provider asked TASC to identify the main demand drivers in order to make decisions regarding the opening of a new data- center facility.

• Process:
  The first step was to conduct a competitive analysis of the co-location market in Israel, including pricing models and value-added services. Our team mapped competitors’ expansion plans and developed a future-supply picture that included geographical analysis of possible supply surplus. The next step was to analyze demand patterns for IT infrastructure solutions and identify players with preferences for non-cloud-based solutions (and, in particular, preferences for co-location solutions).

• Strategic solution & impact:
  Our team succeeded in estimating future demand for co-location by different sectors and recommended which sectors to focus on.

• Business Dilemma:
  A leading global fund wanted to redesign its active investment activity in Israel and sought TASC’s help in the construction of an active investment plan.

• Process:
  TASC built an exhaustive map of the Israeli VC market based on strengths and weak spots, and then conducted an in-depth analysis of the company’s portfolio and investment strategies. The team then compared the fund’s activity to other competing funds, focusing on rate of return and investment policy, and built a compatible execution plan for refining the VC’s portfolio and strategy.

• Strategic solution & impact:
  TASC’s investment strategy was approved by the fund’s board and implemented successfully.
