Financials

The market and related entry strategy mentioned earlier in this marketing plan is reflected in the assumptions used to build the financial model and corresponding pro-forma financial statements. The management of OSS Telecom Technology, Inc. believes these projections to be on the conservative side and, therefore, very attainable.

Sales Forecast

Revenues are calculated separately for each product and for maintenance and consulting services. In addition, product revenue is broken out between new sales and upgrade sales. New sales and upgrade sales are further broken down into license, installation, and customization revenue. The products included in this forecast are customer care and billing (CCB) products, prepaid IN (PPIN) product, and short messaging (SMSC) product.

Pricing assumptions for licenses include a 10% discount from list for direct sales and 30% from list for indirect sales. Sales are forecast at 50% direct and 50% indirect resulting in a weighted average discount of 20%.

Pricing for licenses stays constant over the five year period. OSS Telecom Technology does not increase license pricing while significantly increasing feature set to maintain competitive pricing advantage over the five-year period.
