Gartner Debuts Investment Professionals
Membership Program
Research, Forecasts and Analyst Access for Wall Street Advisors
STAMFORD, CONN., December 10, 2002 - Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT and ITB) has announced a powerful new research service for investment professionals, portfolio managers and equity research analysts. The Gartner Investment Professionals Membership Program delivers a top-level view of the world's largest repository of supply- and demand-side technology research.

"Equity research analysts, investment bankers and venture capitalists have long relied on Gartner analysis as they examine technology sectors and companies," said Eileen McPartland, Senior Vice President, Gartner Research and Advisory Services. "The Gartner Investment Professionals Membership Program does not pick or recommend stocks; rather, it delivers a customized picture of particular market sectors complete with current market shares, forecasts and Gartner analyst insights."

The Gartner Investment Professionals Membership Program is comprised of the following:
  • Access to all Gartner technology research and analysis
  • Concierge service with a business analyst who serves as a live guide to Gartner research
  • A personal Web portal that is targeted, relevant and timely for the investment professional
  • Sector Briefing: a half-day session with Gartner analysts to review the current status of a market sector, identify significant inflection points and candidly discuss technologies and companies
  • Teleconferences with Gartner analysts
Gartner analysts do not own any stock of companies in the sectors they cover. Research coverage is global and spans all technology on topics ranging from semiconductors through services. Gartner's Web delivery meets the need for time-sensitive data in the fast paced world of investment management.

"Equity analysts have long been attracted to our independent technology research," continued McPartland. "Gartner is the only research firm that offers investment professionals both supply- and demand-side technology research."
