Vendor Focused Services
Our vendor focused services provide strategic and tactical advisory support of vendor client’s product and go-to-market strategies and actions, particularly where these connect with the analyst community such as Gartner, Forrester, IDC etc.
In addition to practical strategic advisory support, our major strength is in the support of vendors participating in one of either Gartner's Magic Quadrant evaluations, or Forrester's Wave processes. Our targeted and proven programs support each of the nine steps of the Gartner MQ process to help vendors present themselves and their products to maximum effect. |
Gartner Magic Quadrant Impact Service (MQIS)
The program of Gartner MQ-related support, which we call ‘The Magic Quadrant Impact Service’ (or MQIS for short) supports vendor clients which are exposed to the rigours of positioning their value and capabilities within a Gartner Magic Quadrant research process.
The MQIS supports the nine(9) critical stages of the MQ, inserting advisory support, critique and guidance at every stage to ensure that the client performs at its best throughout the process and hits the milestones required of it during that process. The program includes development of a work-back schedule for each client, based on the clients available resource and the timing from invite to submission. For more information, please Contact Us. |
