he demand for and value of IT business
data, information, insight, and efective guidance, is greater than ever. And yet,
we see and hear almost daily of the demise of the
research analyst, the declining value of industry
research, and the increasing irrelevance of analyst
irms.
To my view, this is, frankly, ignorant.
he IT analyst industry began 30-plus years
ago because there was too much going on for
Wall Street investors, enterprise IT and Finance
groups, and even IT providers to understand.
he paces of technological change, adaptation,
and business innovation were so great that few
could readily discern how to make efective
development, buying, or staing decisions.
here were few truly objective sources of insight
and expertise regarding the increasing array
of technologies and their multiplying business
applications, despite a fast-growing mountain of
information available via many types of media.

in tablet computing, the truth is we still need
a real keyboard and mouse to really get work
done. A tool, not a toy. So it’s only natural that
when we go to a meeting, we bring our trusted
companions with us to the conference room and
join the meeting using a familiar and reliable
tool.
