Transforming IT Analyst Research into Actionable Business Intelligence
Why AnalystPerspectives?
Analyst information is well-recognized as a key influencer in information technology and telecommunications decision-making, but the sheer number of reports that are available and the varying views they represent can be overwhelming. With more than 700 research firms tracking the technology industry, it is becoming increasingly challenging to select and apply the right reports to your business needs.
AnalystPerspectives brings the missing ingredient: context. AnalystPerspectives summarizes the views of many different analyst firms and provides insight into their research and opinions in a context that helps planners and decision makers at all levels make better informed decisions.
This rich collection provides technology executives, managers and practitioners with the information they need to make the important decisions that affect your enterprise.
What's in AnalystPerspectives?
AnalystPerspectives includes:
- Consensus Reports - 4 to 6 page reports that provide insight from multiple analyst firms on important IT and telecom topics. Several reports are produced each month as well as several special editions when major events occur.
Consensus Summaries - Each Consensus Report is accompanied by a Consensus Summary PowerPoint presentation that provides a quick, five-minute summary of the key findings of each Consensus Report. (Consensus Summaries are available for Consensus Reports added as of November 2007).
- Weekly Scan Newsletter - The newsletter provides headlines and links to more than 100 pieces of analyst commentary published the previous week.
- Special Events - Occasionally, AnalystPerspectives pulls together highly qualified analysts from different analyst firms to provide their views on important industry topics and events. Each live session is recorded and added to the collection.
- Full Text Reports licensed from dozens of leading analyst firms. Full text research reports are available for searching and reading at no additional charge.
