No more boondoggles for this fella…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As a few of you may have observed, we went through a <\/strong>minor identity transformation back in March<\/strong><\/a>, when we decided to start producing our own research and become a fully-fledged analyst advisory organization. Even <\/strong>industry observers believed us<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contrary to rumor, analysts sometimes do more than get themselves\u00a0inebriated at industry boondoggles (hmmm….).\u00a0 And as much as we’d all like to spend our days being wined and dined at tennis tournaments and totting up our Starwoods points, we’ve had to knuckle-down and put pen to paper with our views and insights on where this market is heading.<\/p>\n

We tried to explain to our sales chappy that clients don’t care about research anymore,\u00a0that they just wanted to hang out with us, but he wouldn’t listen, signed up a bunch of them, and now we have to do some hard work.<\/p>\n

So four months\u00a0on, and\u00a0we’re beginning to sneak a few publications out to market.\u00a0 We’re developing a fully-fledged research agenda which we will be excited to announce in September, when we will also be announcing the arrival of some new analysts\u00a0 (who also\u00a0claim they will write some stuff).\u00a0 So feel free to visit our sexy (ahem) new\u00a0RESEARCH LIBRARY<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and check out what we’re writing about.<\/p>\n

Some stuff is freemium<\/em> (I love that word), and some is\u00a0premium <\/em>for our subscribers, but there is plenty\u00a0there\u00a0for all to read, that is being regularly updated with new publications.\u00a0 So spend a few minutes registering an ID and password with us<\/a>, and enter our research world.\u00a0 C’mon… do you have any better offers on a Thursday morning?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
