Go to Market
A successful Go to Market strategy will maximise market adoption (and revenue!). It requires a well-defined, well targeted and responsive proposition, clear customer communications and, in many cases, the right channel partners.
Our Go to Market consulting services include proposition definition, business model and business case builds, go to market strategy development, and in some cases just providing you with extra committed resource to get everything done!
As with everything we do, we ensure our recommendations are based on accurate market insight and that Go to Market projects are overseen though effective programme planning and management.
Responding to complex regulatory change
One of the biggest current challenges for the payments and financial services industries is the introduction of PSD2 SCA. FirstPartner has been at the heart of the work undertaken within the European payments industry to ensure that PSD2 SCA and 3-D Secure 2.0 are successfully deployed across the payments ecosystem. Our work has included supporting interpretation of the PSD2 regulation, and translation of its requirements into viable solutions and guidance for banks, payment service providers and merchants. We have gathered evidence on needs and concerns from a range of ecosystem players and helped to translate these into payment scheme solutions and guidance.
Taking Propositions to Market
Other significant projects we have undertaken include providing expert support to an acquirer preparing for a contactless transit ticketing launch project in the Middle East; developing a Global travel industry Go to Market Strategy for WEX’s virtual payment cards; supporting the launch of Miura Systems’ tablet POS products; competitor profiling for Experian; and managing the European launch projects for TomTom’s “HD Traffic” services.
