EIPCI?s work helped PAX River accelerate and stabilize an already successful program that demonstrated significant return on investment and reductions in operating costs during a period when PAX River missions were significantly expanding.
DigitalGlobe - Civilian Agency Imagery Sales Program
EIPCI conducted market research for DigitalGlobe to determine major Federal funding programs that would be viable new business targets for the company?s high resolution satellite imagery. EIPCI identified a series of opportunities for consolidated large account imagery sales that would augment ongoing and funded Federal programs and where DigitalGlobe could offer substantial cost reductions over traditional imagery acquisition processes. EIPCI developed market assessments with sales projections, introduced DigitalGlobe to Federal executives and those in-place major program contractors who would use the imagery and supported sales efforts across the Federal civilian agency sector.

Wineries and Agritourism
Vint Hill Craft Winery

Te business specializes in personalized winemaking; ensuring quality, success and sustainability. The state of the art “green” winery is located in the unique historic barns at the former Vint Hill Farms Station, VA.

Winery at La Grange
Working with the mid-Atlantic's leading executive winemaker, EIPCI developed business plans, investor documents and cost estimates for a premier Virginia destination winery and vineyard. EIPCI was instrumental in securing partner investments, enabling property acquisition and construction to begin.

The Winery at La Grange set both regional and national records for opening, just nine months after land acquisition and including the renovation of a circa 1790 historic plantation manor house on the property. The winery has achieved better than expected business results since opening and EIPCI provides continuing support in business and financial consulting and management.
Winery at Arrington
Working with a leading national homebuilder, a leading winemaker and a team of consultants, EIPCI developed a concept plan for the first-ever agritourism (winery, restaurant, epicurean school, banquet facilities, gardens, orchard and vineyard) that would be affiliated with a new prestige active adult community in the Warrenton, Virginia area. EIPCI prepared capital program documents, business plans and investor documents and cost estimates. We also led efforts to retain professional architectural services for concept design and aesthetics studies for the property. While not yet under construction, the planning for this project has been enthusiastically by local officials as well as the land development and business community.
