CIMI Corporation is a strategic
consulting firm specializing in the development, marketing, deployment,
and use of high-tech networking products and services. We offer three
basic types of services to our clients; day-rate consulting,
hourly-rate consulting, and document development. Click here for a sample of specific consulting focus areas.
Day-rate consulting is provided on a full-day (9-5 or 8:30-4:30
depending on your location) at the customer site, or at a convenient
meeting facility or hotel. Fees for this service are at the daily rate
plus expenses; contact us for fee information. Generally, day-rate
consulting requires booking six weeks or more in advance. Seminars and
other speaking engagements are special cases of this type of
consulting. An additional preparation charge is assessed based on the
number of hours of presentation expected.
Hourly-rate consulting is provided via phone only. No hourly rate
meetings will be accepted. Sessions can be scheduled only for one or
two full hours consecutively, and are charged at the hourly billing
rate. Contact us for current fee information. An additional charge will
be assessed for phone time unless the client initiates the call or
supplies a toll-free number or bridge number. Hourly-rate consulting is
generally available on relatively short notice; five to seven working
days.
Either day-rate or hourly-rate consulting can be applied in any of the following areas:
- Market
opportunity assessment, to define the value of market segments, their
opportunity timing, and the means of addressing them.
- Product requirements development, to define how a product could be targeted at a market opportunity.
- Product marketing planning, to define how a marketing program set can be tuned to optimize sales success.
- Press or public message planning, to optimize public and media positioning.
- Financial due
diligence to assess the business and technical credibility of a company
when considering an investment there.
Document development includes the creation of white papers,
presentations, marketing or technical material, etc. All of this
material must be non-attributable to CIMI Corporation
("ghost-written"). A fixed price will be quoted for the development of
a draft, based on word count, number of illustrations, etc. Output is
generally delivered in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint format; contact us
for the availability of other formats. A special formal quote and
outline of work is required for this type of service, and delivery is
generally within 30 days of approval of an outline. Consultation to
develop content, or time spent in revisions, is chargeable at the
hourly rate.
Tom Nolle is available for seminars, training programs, and other public speaking activities. We have specific training and seminar programs developed for each of the Market Area Focus report topics outlined in our Publications page!
Seminar and Tutorial services are offered as consulting
services, with payment for both the day(s) of the sessions and for
preparation of specialized material as needed. We will advise you
of whether there will be a preparation charge for a given program, and
what that charge will be. Tom occasionally speaks at industry
events. In most cases, payment for the day will be
required. For some events he may speak at no charge providing
that he has control of the content, but payment for expenses will
always be required.

Please don't be offended, but we limit our consulting activity to areas
where we believe in the strategic value of the technology, product, or
service. We reserve the right to decline to provide services where we
do not have confidence in the technology space represented.
