It seems the “freemium” model we’ve adopted at HfS over the last six years is really having an impact. It’s our view that top insights shouldn’t be stuffed behind a firewall. Clients will pay for premium data, indepth analyst strategy session and in-depth competitive landscape reports, but when it comes to insights, viewpoints, or just some plain old entertainment, why hide it?<\/p>\n

Freemium isn’t disruptive, it’s the way forward<\/em> for an analyst industry, much of which refuses to break out of its stale model. \u00a0If people stop reading research and genuine insights, we might as well all pack up and go home now, so let’s promote<\/em> what we do, not hide it.<\/p>\n

Having a prolific analyst team<\/a>\u00a0beat the As-a-Service<\/a> drum every day is the real reason for our continual impact – they keep the views fresh, varied and unvarnished, while maintaining that personal touch, which is what we’re all about at HfS.<\/p>\n

Thanks for those who have voted for us (so far), we really appreciate your support and feedback. \u00a0If you would like to share your views on what you would like to see more (or less) from us, do email us here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
