Our Team
Our Philosophy
Through rigorous research on a full gamut of applications markets, we deliver vendor data, competitive intelligence reports and case studies via multiple subscription options to a sophisticated audience, enabling them to become more savvy buyers, vendors and investors.
By offering them hard-to-get market data and addressing their specific information needs, we serve as their trusted partner when it comes to applications research. Transparency is the guiding principle of our research. Every report that we publish, every market-sizing project that we take on and every contact discovery and improvement database that we build and enhance should meet that requirement.
 Simply put, there should be absolute clarity on how we gather the data, formulate our analysis and convey the results without any ambiguity or obfuscation.
