SHINE did an excellent job of assessing the commercial potential of two important inventions… clearly evaluated the market potential of the inventions and identified successful companies as potential licensees.

The feedback so far has been very positive. In the feedback, there is usually much relief and hope, because clients now have concrete steps to follow that make sense and are do-able.
- Susan Lee-Merrow, Associate State Director, Virginia SBDC Network
SHINE's Senior Analyst..."has been instrumental in supporting
the unit. He has been perfect in leveraging his assets in
order to provide numerous products benefiting the unit targeting
priorities. His analysis on the AO also helps us see the battlefield in a
different perspective and assists with our efforts. Not only has he
provided analysis but more importantly products that help the assault
force picture the AO. Ultimately, we hope he sustains his support to the unit which assists with the long term focus."

SHINE's Principal Technical Analyst..."has assisted me with
innumerable man hours in creating a Global Violent Extremist Organization

Your efforts greatly enhanced the intelligence analysis
capabilities of our unit. Your ability to manage the training and
software support for over 300 intelligence analysts and special operators
dispersed throughout nearly 40% of Afghanistan speaks to your managerial
and administrative skills. Your tireless service to SOTF-W ultimately
increased the combat power of this unit. Thank you.
- USMC, SOTF-W

Meeting with you got us to focus on that market and push that promotion differently… our metrics report shows a 15% increase in sales due to your help with market assessment/focus

Thank you so much for the Roadmap. I will certainly follow the recommendations provided in it.

When we chose SST to facilitate our 3 year strategic plan, we got far more than we contracted for...they created an excellent business plan, but the additional benefit we received was a wonderful team building experience that we weren’t expecting. I highly recommend SHINE Systems & Technologies.
