IM Report: Watching the IT Watchers

It has been a couple of years since we last took an analytical look at the IT Research space. This segment of market research behaves a little differently than others that we track and there is substantial change bubbling under the surface of what may seem to be an ossifying subset of the overall information industry. To put it simply, a major component of the value proposition of legacy analyst firms is being upended and fundamental changes are occurring within this space. Where once industry analysts were the only game in town, now they are just one among many resources available to those seeking technology information, guidance, and decision support. This report includes:
- Recent market developments;
- Ongoing market trends;
- Profiles of key players, including an at-a-glance look at estimated revenue, growth, and employee counts;
- Our recommendations to buyers of IT research.
