titleSize of market (TAM, SAM, SOM) (@sonny)

Total Addressable Market (TAM)

The whole universe of state agencies who experience this need.

The average number of agencies per state is 150. Which more or less would bring us to 7,500 potential customers in this initiative.

Serviceable Available Market (SAM)

The part of this market that we can realistically reach and convert in a medium- to long-term.

If we assume that we can close 2% of that business that is 3 deals per state. Not accounting for a price increase that is 3 agencies x 50 states = 150 CCH Accounts. 150 accounts x $10,000 = $1.5M annually

Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM)

What can we realistically capture of this market in 18-24 months after solution launch? What are our beach-heads? Taking into account our

  • Competitive advantage

  • Current market penetration of competitors

  • Our marketing and sales' need for time to reach the customers in (pre-)buying mode

    • no set date - dates are unique to customer

  • are these multi-year contracts

    • mix - ServiceNow leaning to 3-yr contracts

  • which ServiceNow contracts are how many are up for renewal this year

  • ramp-up: when we have the mapping ready, what are our next steps in sales

    • proposal decision cycle: how long

      • 30 -60 days on average

    • is there a testing period from partner side

      • no

titleBusiness model and monetization (@sonny)

Value & pricing

Do we offer identical pricing as for other customers (eg enterprises)? Or do we tailor the pricing: limited capability, lower price (likely higher quantity) or higher pricing? And if so, why?

Our solution is part of larger compliance deals that ServiceNow delivers to the state agencies.

We currently decided to move forward with our standard pricing.

Model

What model best fits state agencies? Any specific requirements?

Unfair advantages or blockers

titleBlockers & inhibitors (@all)

Do we need clearance to sell to some agencies, etc

  • No clearance needed at State level, clearance would be at federal level
