About Siboney Corp.

Siboney Corporation engages in publishing educational software products in academic areas, primarily for schools. The company’s main subsidiary, Siboney Learning Group, Inc., publishes standards-based educational software products for reading, language, mathematics, science, writing and English as a second language, primarily for K-12 students and adult learners.

The company publishes four comprehensive software product lines: Orchard Software for Your State (Orchard), GAMCO Educational Software, Educational Activities Software, and PracticePlanet.

Orchard integrates the results of subject specific assessment tests which are based upon state standards, with individualized instruction from approximately 160 Skill Trees (individual software programs) in K-12 reading, language, mathematics and science. Orchard’s assessment identifies areas of academic weakness for each student with in his/her state’s grade-specific standards of learning. Orchard then prescribes an individualized learning path for each student as students interact with a variety of motivating instructional approaches that appeal to different learning styles. Orchard’s management system tracks student progress for teachers and administrators who are facing increasing pressure for data-driven decision making as mandated by NCLB. Interim assessment tools can be used to measure educational gains and to prepare students for their high-stakes state tests.

Approximately 9,000 schools use Orchard in computer labs, learning centers and classrooms to supplement instruction. Orchard’s solution is delivered as an unlimited network/site license. The company released an update to Orchard in 2007 which included new curriculum titles and updated graphics, along with enhanced assessment and reporting capabilities. A version of Orchard (Orchard Home) appropriate for home users is sold through a direct-to-home marketer of educational products.

The company also publishes two titles-based instructional software product lines:

GAMCO Educational Software (GAMCO) is its original software product line. GAMCO provides schools with single titles and curriculum solutions. GAMCO products are sold through the major national and regional school software catalog dealers. All GAMCO titles include management features that track student progress and allow teachers to modify the instruction to meet individual learning needs. Titles include Touchdown Math, Math Concepts, Language Concepts and Phonics. GAMCO titles have been updated to run under the Macintosh OS X and Microsoft Vista operating systems.

Educational Activities Software (EAS) line has been a publisher of software for the middle school to adult learner market. EAS sells its products to schools, community colleges, adult learning centers and correctional facilities. EAS is its primary product offering for the adult learning market.

Strategic Alliances

In February 2007, Siboney Learning Group and Edumatics Corporation (Edumatics), entered into a Strategic Alliance and Joint Development Agreement. The Strategic Alliance and Joint Development Agreement calls for Siboney and Edumatics to jointly develop an online product (named PracticePlanet) to assist elementary and middle school students in preparing for their annual high-stakes state tests, using intellectual property provided by Siboney. The company began offering PracticePlanet in August 2007. PracticePlanet is marketed, sold and supported using Siboney’s employees and independent sales channels.

PracticePlanet is an online test practice program designed to enhance student skills and improve scores on state assessments. PracticePlanet uses test items which are correlated to state testing standards, prompt feedback and interactive games designed to keep students engaged. The online delivery system allows students and teachers to have access to PracticePlanet wherever an Internet connection is available. Test and practice results are automatically aggregated and presented in a form that is concise.

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
