Research and Markets: Zimmer Holdings - IT Sales Opportunities - 2008 Is The Comprehensive Report on Orthopaedic Implants, Including Joint And Dental, Spinal Implants

Zimmer Holdings, Inc. (Zimmer) designs, develops, manufactures and markets reconstructive orthopaedic implants, including joint and dental, spinal implants, trauma products and related orthopaedic surgical products. The company's products include joint and dental reconstructive orthopaedic implants, spinal implants, trauma products, and related orthopaedic surgical products. Its related orthopaedic surgical products include surgical supplies and instruments designed to aid in orthopaedic surgical procedures and post-operation rehabilitation.

Industry trends and drivers have a direct or indirect affect on IT spending of all companies operating within an industry. For example -- increase in sourcing from low cost countries might influence Zimmer to relook at their supply chains, resulting in selling opportunities for SCM solutions, collaboration tools etc. Thus, we can conclude that industry spending on any particular IT product or service is an important indicator of the criticality of that product or service for the industry. Based on the IT spend information available in 'TechNavio', we have computed a 'criticality score' for various IT products and services, for Zimmer.

Various company level developments and events are important indicators of selling opportunities and drive the sales of IT products and services. For example -- an acquisition by Zimmer might result in opportunities for IT migration and integration services. By tracking these sales drivers (using 'TechNavio'), we have arrived at a demand score for each product and service.

Through an in-depth analysis of industry trends and drivers and company level developments and events, we have made the 'IT Selling Opportunities Map' for hardware, software and IT services for Zimmer. These maps have been divided into four zones representing Level I, Level II and Level III opportunity areas. Level I opportunity areas have the highest scores and hence, there is a high probability that Zimmer will buy these products and services. Level II opportunity areas have lower scores and hence, lower probability to sell to Zimmer Level III opportunities have the lowest scores and hence, unlikely to sell to Zimmer.

The report is meant for IT vendors and intends to help them identify selling opportunities within the company. Furthermore, the identified sales drivers can be used to penetrate these accounts or increase current share of the customers wallet. Also, the report lists key IT spending decision makers, which enables the salesperson to directly contact the key executives within the company.
