In conversation with the Founder
1. What are your plans for the days ahead?
We want to get in to formal service offerings in near future in the field of molecular modeling, drug discovery.

2. Tell us something about our Revenue Model?

We have a twofold revenue model:-
A) We sell software which we import
B) We provide professional training on the software we sell

3. Scube has always proved its efficiency when it comes to client satisfaction. But with changing market landscapes, do you feel Scube has any tough competitors at the moment? If yes, can you share some details about them?
With competition on the rise, who doesn’t face obstacles! But we at SCUBE believe in taking competition not only seriously but most importantly, positively. We believe in the importance of a healthy customer-provider relationship and I guess that’s what puts us above the rest.

These are:-
A. Gaussian : As such there is no competitor but still products like QChem can be a competitor
B. MNOVA : Competitors: ACD Lab
C. ChemOffice : Competitors: ACD lab’s ChmSketch is a competitor for Structure drawing. ISIS draw is also one competitor.
D. Fujitsu : Competitors: Accelrys Discovery Studio, Schrodinger , MOE
E. Image pro : Competitors: Image J
F. Mathematica : Competitors: Matlab, Mathcad
G. STATISTICA : Competitors: SAS, IBM SPSS
H. Scientific Workplace : Competitors: Latex freeware
I. Ligand Scout : Competitors: Accelrys Discovery Studio application for pharmacofore modeling
