And finally, the results of the Analyst Value Survey, which canvassed the views of 1093 enterprises, analysts and vendor consumers of research, have been released.<\/strong> This is – by some margin – the largest study ever conducted to gauge the influence and value of the industry technology analyst firms, and even the most optimistic followers of HfS couldn’t have expected this result:<\/p>\n

And not only did we enjoy a huge<\/em> uplift in influence of the last 12 months, this also also builds on our influence increase over buyers and providers the previous year (see last year’s results<\/a>):<\/p>\n

I really don’t want to bore you with a sales pitch as to how we have been achieving this recognition (hopefully you have your own ideas, and if you were one of the nice people who voted for us, I thank you personally – and owe you a drink).<\/p>\n

All I will say is “thank you” to the HfS team for working their socks off and making this all possible. \u00a0And also a thank you to YOU for reading our stuff, saying great things about us and believing in our approach and determination to change the face of the analyst industry forever.<\/p>\n

I would also like to thank the hard-working people at Kea Company, which today has adopted the mantle of “analyst of the analysts” for pulling off such a terrific and comprehensive study.<\/p>\n

If you would like to purchase a full copy of the results, you can access them here<\/span><\/a><\/span>. \u00a0If you are a provider marketer who needs some conclusive data and a decent steer where to invest your analyst relationship time, you could to a lot worse than spend some time with these guys.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
