Internet ASP Business Plan


Internet ASP Business Plan


jSpan Corporation is an Application Service Provider. (ASP) It provides Internet-based remote access services for independent professionals and small to mid-sized businesses. The Webtop interface for jSpan allows you to combine legacy systems, online apps, and value-added service into one environment. jSpan’s Webtop interface allows it to act as a distribution hub for other providers of application services. jSpan exploits the growing demand for remote access as well as the industry trend toward outsourcing IT applications.

Private investors have contributed $500,000 to jSpan Corporation. These funds will be used for an initial test market deployment, the formation of a management team, as well as to license key technologies. The company is currently seeking $3.2million more via Series A Preferred Equity. These funds will be used to support a full-scale product launch within six months from the closure of funding.

Business Model

jSpan can provide remote access services by partnering with Internet Service Providers. Remote access is managed via an Internet-based Webtop, which aggregates applications from remote offices networks and other Internet locations. A per-user monthly subscription fee is the main way to generate revenue. Value added services and premium subscriptions eventually increase the revenue stream by including transaction and syndication charges.

Co-marketing and revenue share agreements with strategic network services providers drive customer acquisition. Direct end-user marketing (advertising or promotions) will help build customer awareness as well as solidify the jSpan brand. Partnerships with Internet content providers, service provider, and product manufacturers will allow for content syndication to build a wider customer base.

Opportunity

Remote access to important business information is in high demand because of the flexibility of work and the mobile workforce. Forecasts estimate the mobile workforce in the United States alone will exceed 47 million employees four years from now. Mobile computing devices are being adopted by independent professionals and small to mid-sized businesses to keep them competitive. However, these individuals lack the technical and financial resources to create a comprehensive remote access solution.

Professionals increasingly require access to multiple offices from multiple locations. Around 23% of Internet users at home brought work home on weekends and nights, while 17% used the Internet as a way to start a business from home. The number of telecommuters has shown rapid growth, exceeding 9.7 million this year.

According to Access Media International, small businesses invested $138 billion on information technology and telecommunications products last year. Companies seek technology solutions that are more effective for a small number of employees than a larger market. These companies are outsourcing technology services in an increasing number.

Product

jSpan provides remote access through a universally accessible Webtop using Virtual Private Networking (VPN) technology to establish a secure connection to the remote target system. These two technologies combined eliminate the need to create a custom remote access solution. Access can be made via xDSL (T1) or cable modems. The result is a secure Internet hosted Webtop with functionality similar to an office workstation. Using existing core technology will allow jSpan a faster entry into the market and reduce development time. Premium subscriptions and value-added services will increase the customer’s value proposition over time.

Financial Analysis

Gross revenue is based upon per user revenue of $21.25 monthly. It is forecast to reach $422 millions by the end five years of operations. International Data Corporation has calculated the target market size based on the projected mobile workforce. International expansion and additional opportunities for consumers or enterprises could increase the potential market.

jSpan consolidates the market for independent professionals and small businesses. It is a potential target for companies that provide goods or services to this segment. Based on a $450 acquisition cost per user, management estimates an acquisition valued of $105 millions at the end-of-year three. This will rise to over $1 million by the time of year five.

Management teamjSpan has assembled a group of technical experts and managers. John Millar (founder) and Kim Niquette (founders) have both worked in high-growth technology companies as well as international entrepreneurial organisations. jSpan’s technical staff includes people who have had software development and operational experience with Raytheon Corporation, Sun Microsystems, Raytheon Corporation, as well as a range of start up ventures. After a major funding event, additional senior management will be added to the team. jSpan has also assembled a strong advisory team that includes both experienced entrepreneurs as well as leading professionals.

E-commerce Internet Business Plan


E-commerce Internet Business Plan


Popular culture is not anymore regional. With the advent of cable television, syndicated radio and the Internet, a fashion statement from New York can be found in a small town in mid-western America in a matter of days. The speed of our telecommunications has increased the expectations and needs of young customers for products that make a cultural statement.

FireStarters will provide youth customers in small communities and towns across the United States with products and clothing for young people. These products and clothing are not only popular nationally but also available locally.

FireStarters is different from other youth-oriented online e-commerce sites because it is focused exclusively on small-town America. The target audience is a young adult between 11-18 who listens to alternative music, and who participates in youth sport like skateboarding, snowboarding, and other such activities. Our target customer will find inspiration in alternative clothing trends found in large urban areas. FireStarters will exclusively advertise in small communities with populations between 100,000 and 150,000 residents. Communities of this size already have small youth-oriented businesses, like skateboard shops and alternative CD stores, that FireStarters can utilize to promote its product line.

1.1 Mission

FireStarters was founded to bring unique, youth-oriented fashion to small-town America.

1.2 Keys to Success

  • Accessible website that is entertaining to surf. Like a trip to your favorite store where you always find something new that you want.

Medical Internet Marketing Business Plan


Medical Internet Marketing Business Plan


DocBuzz, Inc., a medical marketing firm, specializes in medical device detailing, pharmaceutical, and biotechnical. DocBuzz, Inc., a company that is exclusively for doctors and the medical community, is the only one of its kind. DocBuzz, Inc. was founded and managed by practicing physicians.

With revenues in excess of $96.3 million annually, the pharmaceutical industry is one of most profitable. The problem facing the pharmaceutical sector is simply time. Time to research and develop, time for branding and marketing, time for sales and time to gain the trust of the medical profession. In this industry, we can equate time with money.

There are also two industries that have similar problems with their products. These are biotech companies and medical device firms. These companies have to compete with other industries for their revenues, even though the revenue is not as high as the pharmaceutical industry.

DocBuzz, Inc., developed a method that allows these industries to benefit prelaunch marketing, product brand, and postlaunch sales support. All this was done with the direct involvement of physicians. DocBuzz, Inc., gives the client companies the opportunity to market directly to the decision makers, establishing immediate credibility through our extensive network of physicians and other medical professionals. Our e­detailing is the most cost-effective option of all services. Live conferences are available, 24 hours per day, seven days a săptămână. This service provides access to an array of current information, including new biotech developments, pharmaceutical products and medical devices.

DocBuzz, Inc., will serve the marketing needs of the medical device, biotech, pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Our physicians have direct access to us and we can also provide our services. We can deliver these companies’ message directly to the decision makers for 75% of what these industries are currently budgeting. In addition, DocBuzz, Inc., by virtue of its unique incentive program will allow additional revenue to participating physicians and other medical practitioners.

DocBuzz’s winning strategy is to give the best and most accurate information to the medical professionals. The industry can also use DocBuzz to promote, market and advertise their products through highly respected doctors. Individual medical professionals benefit by being able to access the most recent industry information via the Internet. Additionally, at the end the e-detailing will allow them to request samples, additional information about the product, or to have a representative from a pharmaceutical company visit. Professionals on our medical panel can earn points by participating in our e-detailing and/or by referral of others who join our program.

1.1 Keys to Success

DocBuzz, Inc., identified four key strategies that are critical to our success.

  1. To increase market acceptance of a product, and its prescribing patterns, the Internet technology was developed to improve the access of the prescribing physician to the pharmaceuticals.
  2. DocBuzz, Inc. uses a grass-root approach to recruit and keep participating prescribing physicians through a value referral program (VIRP). DocBuzz, Inc., as a physician owned and operated company, understands physician’s needs and offers, in addition to our unique VIRP system, other value added programs such as CME, physician cyber meeting places and other extensive point redemption options.
  3. DocBuzz, Inc. can provide evidence-based analysis for the pharmaceutical industry in order to justify the pharmaceutical investment in e-detailing.
  4. DocBuzz, Inc., expects to experience rapid, but controlled, growth in order for us to keep our quality service.

1.2 Mission

DocBuzz, Inc., is a reliable, high-quality option to in-house resources. DocBuzz, Inc., helps to increase the return on marketing and sales investment by expediting the physician learning curve regarding prelaunch, new, existing and postlaunch products. It also provides access via the Internet to educational details and market research. DocBuzz, Inc., also benefits small, innovative biotechnology and pharmaceutical businesses that do not have a strong North American sales force.

1.3 Objectives

  • To establish ourselves as a premier pharmaceutical e-detailing company, targeting medical professionals–i.e. doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and dentists.
  • We will provide value added services like CME and current medical information updates.
  • To hire both current and unidentified staff to help us implement our business plan.
  • To sign up 5% of the more than 650K prescribing medical professionals by year three, and provide 300K pharmaceutical detailing per year, by year three.
  • To reach a breakeven point in year two of $35,936

    Internet Media Advertising Business Plan


    Internet Media Advertising Business Plan


    Truckbay, LLC, Limited Liability Company, was created under Nebraska law by Jim Bell, John Bell, in October 2002. Truckbay.com’s new business model is to be a light-equipment listing service on eBay Motors, and then build a network of linked websites that will increase sales and exposure. Truckbay.com’s ultimate goal is to be the most prominent classified listing site in the global light-equipment market. The best way to achieve this goal is to provide the most views per listing of any service.

    Truckbay was founded in October 2002. Truckbay.com went live in February 2003, after a five-month period of software development. Truckbay.com’s core business model currently relies on recurring monthly revenue, which is generated from a membership charge for light duty truck dealers. This membership fee allows you to access an exclusive e community of light duty truck dealers who use this industry-specific program to buy and sell wholesale online equipment.

    Truckbay, Mr. Y. and Mr. Z. discussed a merger proposal in September 2004. This was done to discuss the benefits Truckbay would derive from a partnership with them. Company X was established by Mr. Y and Mr. Z in the early 2000s. Company X became the most successful listing service for eBay Motors, capturing over 21% of their total automotive listings in their brief history. Company X agreed to sell their company to eBay Corporation in January 2003 returning over 800% return to their original investors. Their success and expertise in eBay Motors and Search Engine technology are ideal compliments as Truckbay turns its focus to this similar business model. Truckbay is offering 15% ownership to Company X for the contribution of capital, business, and technical consulting.

    Truckbay will sell our online classified ads solutions to four key markets:

    • Light Truck Dealers
    • Fleets
    • Financial Institutions
    • Individual Owners

    Our most important customers include Dealer Principals and Sales Directors within Light Truck organizations. Most cases, the Sales Manager will be responsible for allocating his large advertising budget among the most effective sources to generate leads. They are open for new sources of lead generation, but are focused on a quick return on their investment. Truckbay will immediately generate leads and sales through the use of eBay Motors’#8217’s massive marketplace and other multichannel linked websites.

    Financial Considerations

    After-tax profits in 2007 will come from the customized marketing strategy and market research described in this plan. Our estimates are that revenues will represent a 20% market share in the eBay Motors light-truck listing market by 2008. We accept pre-paid listings and operate entirely on a cash basis.

    Truckbay is seeking $475,000 of venture capital in order to own 19% of the company. Based on projections from Company X’s past, we expect an IRR of 109% and an investor’s end valuation of $1,043,100 for 2007. Truckbay is expected to be sold within three to five years to a related company (such like ebay).

    1.1 Objectives

    Truckbay’s primary objective is to offer a top-quality online classified advertising solution for the global heavy truck and machinery market. These are our key goals:

    1. You can leverage eBay Motor’#8217s marketplace to get rapid market exposure for this niche.
    2. Make use of cutting-edge Search Engine technology in order to increase viewership
    3. For long term loyalty, provide an affordable and turn-key suite of eDealer online services.

    1.2 Mission

    Truckbay is an enterprise that generates sales and profits. Truckbay exists to serve its customers, as it is a service-based business.

    • The company is the leading online advertising platform for the global heavy equipment and truck market.
    • The company will seek out industry leaders and experts to partner with them.
    • We will provide a service that is valuable and uses the most current technological advances for our customers.
    • Our team is made up of highly-motivated, results-oriented individuals who have been trained to be the best.
    • Our

    The workplace will provide a place for team members to prosper and grow in a dignified, enjoyable, and rewarding environment.

  • Our investors will receive a substantial return on their investments and have the opportunity to grow and prosper with the company in the future.

    • 1.3 Keys to Success

    Our main keys to success are:

    • Traffic can be generated by key Search Engine technology
    • eBay Motors: Traffic Boosting
    • Positive team work environment
    • Team of experienced managers

    We will take steps to reduce risk factors such as:

    • Low overhead structure
    • Hire a draw team, rather than a commissioned sales team
    • Utilizing successful practices from a proven business model

    Internet Court Documents Business Plan


    Internet Court Documents Business Plan


    eDocFile offers electronic filing systems for state court judges. The US court system handles approximately 90 million cases each year and 1 billion legal documents. The flow of civil and criminal filings is too much for the states. Year after year, the number of federal court cases keeps rising dramatically. Courts keep adding judges and judicial officers to handle this work.

    Surprisingly, a large portion of the judicial system is not automated. It is urgent that a cost-effective and integrated digital solution be developed using available technology. eDocFile is an online solution that can transform the practice of law. It’s cost-effective and simple to use. eDocFile goes beyond simply sending documents back to the other side. It acts as a digital bridge between the electronic worlds of the court and the law firm’s electronic world. It allows law offices and courts to share and access all case details, not just the documents.

    E-Filing makes it possible for courts to immediately access court documents. Instead of having to call the archives and request that a document be located, copied, and then delivered, E-Filing allows courts to instantly access court documents. Judges can simply pull up documents on their PCs. Court documents can be archived electronically, making them easily accessible and saving millions of dollars in the process. Attorneys can look up docket information and schedules over the Internet, pay filing fees, instantly download documents filed with the court, view case documents and exhibits, and even track the work of opposing counsel.

    Both courts and law firms have the greatest benefit of efficiency. The efficiency that comes with being able access information instantly, communicate and transact business on any device from any location is undoubtedly a huge advantage. eDocFile offers a simple to use yet comprehensive system that facilitates the flow of information from one party to another in an efficient, cost-effective and seamless manner.

    Why aren’t we all using electronic filing? The answer is that many small projects have been initiated in the United States. Many have failed, been terminated, or are’requirements&#8221 projects for future systems. None of them have provided enough bottom-line gains to court efficiency to warrant support for funding infrastructure.

    The technology is the problem. While many of the components of electronic filing have been available for some time, the lack of standards, difficulty of integration, insufficient training and customer support, and equipment and software costs have been limiting factors. Over the last few decades, personal computer technology has become more powerful and the costs of storage have dropped. Storage costs for data have fallen from over $1,000 per gigabyte on early PCs to less than five cents each megabyte today. The average price drops by 50 percent per year. It was only a few years back that there was no universal network of communications with standard protocols and interfaces available to link all our systems.

    Security and scaling issues in the Internet are still a problem. eDocFile is able to solve these issues and provide a unified e-filing/document management system for both national and state courts. As we transform from a small player to the most prominent legal Internet portal, we will gain brand recognition and market share. We also generate sustainable revenue streams that will finance growth and the development of new products.

    1.1 Mission


    Our mission is listen to our customers’ requirements in order to fulfill their individual needs. We will use Web technology to be the best provider of electronic filing systems that are secure and easy to use for courts and judicial administrations.

    eDocFile aims at providing small and mid-sized court systems with the tools to automate document management and filing through the use a Web-based extranet. In these jurisdictions, lawyers can electronically file documents with courts from the comfort of their private workspace. This allows courts and judges to manage cases and dockets more efficiently as well as reduce costs. eDocFile combines document management and electronic filing in one Web-based extranet system. Clients, as well as lawyers, have access to the best litigation management software with minimal restrictions on software or hardware and the greatest individual choice of technological capabilities.

    1.2 Objectives

    eDocFile’s objectives will change in a concurrent three-phase development cycle.

    Knowing and understanding the customers, their products and competitors is essential for your success. This cycle requires planning, research, and development. These are the goals for this phase.

    • Before extranet beta is launched, become an expert in the legal market.
    • Beta version should be completed within three months from capital formation.
    • Establish good working relationships with court systems by meeting with their decision-makers and plotting a mutual plan for success based on trust, reliability and service.
    • For the August 1 launch of EDocFile, get commitments to support, services, and products by May Year 1.

    Earning

    eDocFile will be a market leader in sales, marketing, customer support, execution and continuous learning. This will help to generate new customers and encourage growth.

    • eDocFile’s brand awareness and brand recognition positions it as the market leader in electronic filing between lawyers, courts, and other legal professionals.
    • Many target courts are without a comprehensive computer management system; our easy to use Web based extranet system allows our customers to manage filings and internal document management.
    • Market metrics for evaluating market penetration success include, a market presence in the top 15 legal markets in the country, market share, customer satisfaction ratings and click through traffic. eDocFile will double these metrics semi-annually to reach market dominance.
    • Begin generating positive cash flow by the middle of Year 2.

    Returning

    Many Internet companies’ Achilles heel is balancing long term sustainability and profitability with the short-term requirements and change. We believe that eDocFile can ensure equitable distribution of resources by adopting a policy of giving back to the community (employees and customers) without over-spending or redundancy. This cycle has these objectives:

    • Develop a mission that reflects the founders’ values, while giving a mandate for culture creation. This will help attract and retain top talent.
    • Develop a comprehensive holistic internal structure that is responsive to market demands and rapid change. This model is based on the concept of “a continuous learning organization” with training and marketing functions binding the entire organisation.
    • Develop value-added components that will take eDocFile beyond a niche player and make it the most popular legal portal on Internet by 2006. This means that you need to create features that are action-oriented.

    eDocFile is a company that believes in a customer-centric approach. We are committed to ensuring the success of our products and the satisfaction of our shareholders.

    1.3 Keys to Success

    The keys to success are:



    Marketing:
