Ventana Research Launches Business and Research Leadership Blogs
New Internet center for social media blogging delivers collaboration and education
Pleasanton, Calif., December 3, 2010 - Ventana Research announced today that it has launched a new venue at which its business and research leadership team will provide analysis and perspective on business and industry trends and technology. With this step the company, the foremost source of authoritative information and analysis about business performance, will take another step in serving business needs, providing a new channel and easier access to its social media activity. This new set of blogs joins the social media activity that Ventana Research has conducted for many years, leading the industry in providing insights across channels such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. The company is using leading-edge cloud technology to enable world-class collaboration as well as support for mobile platforms like the Apple iPhone and Android-based smartphones.
"I am excited to bring a new level of accessibility and collaboration to our blogs by making them available on a powerful platform that will advance our research leadership in the market," said Mark Smith, Ventana Research CEO and EVP of Research. "Unfortunately many analyst firms and analysts are still stovepiped within their own sites rather than engaging in open dialogue on the Internet to business and IT. We remain determined to continue to increase access to our research-based analysis and opinions, offering a model that's very different than the walls that the big analyst firms use to maintain their large membership prices and their closed communities."
Ventana Research provides analysis and perspectives on a wide range of people, process, information and technology issues of concern to business. It researches organizations' needs across a range of technologies, ranging from information readiness through the use of analytics, business intelligence and information management to the specific line of business applications and tools that affect its effectiveness. In addition, Ventana Research focuses on emerging business technology issues such as cloud computing, collaboration and mobility as part of its focus on being the number one analyst firm that can be trusted in enterprise software, as was noted by ZDNet.
Access to the Ventana Research business and research leadership team is available to all; these new blogs are easily accessible via the www.ventanaresearch.com site or directly through these links.
