Introduction

  • We offer accurate research-based information for people and companies on IT and a wide variety of topics.
  • We bring to light problems with how much research and things like consulting advice and what to do about it.

 

Our Evaluations of Provided Information

We provide evaluation services for the following categories of advisement and research.

IT Consulting Firm Information Evaluation

IT consulting firms provide advisory information that is primarily centered around their lines of business rather than what is true.

IT Analyst Information Evaluation

IT analysts often are paid by vendors to produce not research but marketing collateral.

Software Vendor Information Evaluation

Normally companies do not use entities that are unconnected to the software vendor to evaluate the information provided by vendors.

Total Cost of Ownership and Risk Analysis

Neither vendors nor consulting firms want TCO or risk properly calculated. See our TCO method and calculators.

The Outcome

Due to this lack of independent review, enormous sums are wasted every year by companies that follow the advice of companies in all of these areas.

Specialties

In addition to evaluating information produced by other entities, we provide other specific services.

SaaS Licensing and Advisement for Business Departments

Increasing amounts of enterprise software are purchased and managed by business departments rather than IT. We advise in this area.

Expert Witness Service

We use our research and implementation experience to support expert witness cases for software.

IT Licensing and Negotiation

Most IT negotiators and negotiation firms know little about technology. We bring deep research and technology understanding to IT licensing and negotiation.

SaaS Vendor Management

SaaS vendor management allows business departments to access our vendor knowledge.

About Us

Our Independence

One of our biggest selling points is our independence from influence by other entities.

Are We Smarter?

This explains how we have made predictions that the largest entities in space have gotten wrong.

Our Accuracy

We have a strong track record we measure and can demonstrate this accuracy.

For Vendors Who See Us as a Sales Funnel

Many vendors see us as a marketing front end. This explains why we aren’t.

Hiring Us

As you can see, if you have made it this far, it is challenging to obtain accurate information from the entities listed above.

  • Virtually all of the research, consulting, and advice that can be purchased is aligned with established interests.
  • If you have purchased research or consulting information, we can be hired to evaluate and provide our analysis. We can provide a number of different types of analyses of the material that will enhance your decision-making abilities and help moderate the influence of the types of poor quality information that we have profiled in this article.
  • We can also be hired to investigate topics and perform original research on technology topics.
