OMNI Consulting Group LLP Launches Economic Advisory Subsidiary to Expand Client Knowledge Capabilities

DAVIS, California, June 17, 2001 - OMNI Consulting Group LLP, the leading advisory and economic intelligence firm for the technology industry, announced today the launch of a subsidiary service unit to focus on extending client member research capabilities. Under the new structure of OMNI Research Group LLC, technology companies will be able to effectively harness data pertinent to economic behavior and trends within their respective industry. Organizations in search of empirical answers to specific market inquiries leverage the firm's data aggregation and collection methods in a very direct approach rather than sorting through volumes of report publications.

"Technology economics represents an unique science of social research that leaps forward with a quantitative edge to common market questions," said Frank Bernhard, managing principal of the Supply Chain and Telecommunications Practice. "New economy organizations require discrete knowledge solutions to tackle corporate and technology strategy with confidence". Each of the practice leaders within OMNI Consulting Group LLP assume a contribution of qualified analyst personnel and methods to the launch of the new venture.

Geared toward assisting clients with finite objectives and measurements, the subsidiary aims to enhance research efficiency by tapping the wealth of data that exists inside academic, association, and public sources of record. By offering a subscriber membership program across multiple service levels, organizations may select from a broad tier of pre-defined custom research applications that best maximize their individual knowledge utility.

"Clients consistently demand those statistical facts and figures that ultimately define their market direction", said Thomas Sullivan, research director with OMNI Research Group LLC. "Calculating the specific relationship of economic value and the delivery of technology to a market poses a daunting challenge without the influence of relevant data".

While enabling client members to engage OMNI practitioners directly for custom research projects, subscribers receive additional benefits that include a complementary digital download of current industry reports, weekly analysis of economic observations in EcoStratus Digest, and copies of the quarterly journal, CirrusEconomics. Charter client members obtain a published Economic Profile snapshot that summarizes the independent features of their technology in respect to a market heuristic.

More information concerning the details of membership inquiry may be directed to Thomas Sullivan, research director with OMNI Research Group LLC.
