Services
Retainer clients have unlimited access to ATI, from quick-turnaround requests producing results the same day to extensive, in-depth investigations of a given technology and market. We are discreet, produce results, and maintain your confidentiality at all times. Services include: technology and new product searching, technology alert service, market research, and locating consultants or thought leaders.
ATI'S Competitive Advantage
ATI has access to hundreds of the most comprehensive scientific, technical and business databases available. We also solicit pre-proposals from a highly fertile source of innovation -- hundreds of small technology-based firms and university scientists. Further, unlike other search firms, we place a strong emphasis on talking to people on the telephone to uncover the key sources who have what you are seeking, and to learn the most up-to-date information available. This three-pronged approach results in identification of the top 10-12 sources who have what you are seeking. We provide a succinct report which includes the best technology sources for your specific need, a summary of their technology or approach, and background information.
