Gartner Announces More Flexibility and Expanded Market Coverage For Gartner Dataquest Products |
STAMFORD, Conn., December 5, 2005 - Gartner, Inc. announced today new products and enhancements that help technology and service providers capitalize on growth markets, such as business process outsourcing (BPO) and vertical industries. These offerings provide clients with more flexibility in how they use and purchase research.
"We are targeting our products to better match how our customers want to buy," said Jackie Kahle, group vice president for Gartner Dataquest Worldwide. "They are very excited about new growth opportunities and emerging markets, and see Gartner Dataquest as an essential component in helping them achieve their revenue growth objectives."
New integrated Gartner Industry Advisory Services with Dataquest solutions combine end-user industry research with proven market analysis and competitive market share to provide technology and service providers with an end-to-end view of key industries. Offered for banking, insurance, media, manufacturing, retail, and energy and utilities industries, the new solutions complement the existing 14-industry Gartner Dataquest products.
"Vendors who are developing and implementing growth strategies in specific industries need to understand their target market in great depth," Ms. Kahle said. "This means gaining insight into supply and demand - the market opportunities and competitive threats combined with client needs and buying intentions. Only Gartner Dataquest can provide this integrated view."
The second new offering by Gartner Dataquest delivers global statistics and analysis on BPO, and it is targeted to service providers that are focused exclusively on the BPO market, as well as larger service providers that view BPO as a key growth area. A new IT outsourcing product will deliver research and analysis focused on traditional technology outsourcing.
Gartner's BPO research team includes eight analysts with average BPO experience of 16 years. Gartner's nine analysts in IT outsourcing have average experience of 12 years in this global market. BPO and IT outsourcing research previously were combined in Gartner Dataquest's Outsourcing Cluster.
A third offering provides integrated research and market statistics for a fast-growing segment of the semiconductor industry called system-on-chip. System-on-chip integrates multiple components of an electronic system onto a single chip. It is used in MP3 players, digital cameras, mobile phones and other popular consumer electronics.
"This new offering is a great example of how Gartner Dataquest is responding to changes in the semiconductor industry and providing new offerings which specifically target new market opportunities," Ms. Kahle said.
In addition to enhancements of Gartner Dataquest Clusters, Gartner is introducing new quarterly statistical coverage of disk array storage by geography in its Q-Stats products. A second major addition for Q-Stats is vertical industry and business sizing add-ons for new storage Q-Stat products and for current server Q-Stat products. Coverage includes 15 vertical industries and three enterprise sizes. Moreover, pricing options have been added for all Q-Stats products, with up to five seats available for flexible data sharing within a client workgroup.
Lastly, Gartner is introducing a new product called Gartner Dataquest Markets Service. This offering provides access to all Gartner Dataquest research across all technology sectors, delivered to clients via a business analyst. The business analyst assists the client in identifying appropriate research, as well as facilitates access to documents, data cuts and analyst inquiry. This product is ideally suited to clients that need ultimate flexibility in how they use research.
"These announcements demonstrate that Gartner is committed to enhancing Gartner Dataquest products to match our client's needs, and ensure our clients will be able to leverage Gartner Dataquest research and analysts to drive their growth strategy," Ms. Kahle said.
Gartner Dataquest products are used by top hardware, services, software and investment companies worldwide, including 87 percent of the technology-focused Fortune 100, and 100 percent of the top 30 investment banks and brokerage firms.
