Buyers Guide Services: Enterprise and Service Providers
Assessing and Evaluating Providers and Products
The Buyers Guide subscription service is a valuable resource to make informed decisions about software providers. It gives access to authoritative and trusted information to understand, assess, optimize, and select software providers and products essential to making effective decisions. The subscription service offers access to independent, in-depth research and advice from subject matter experts based on an objective analysis of software providers spanning business and IT.
About the Methodology
The Buyers Guide is a research-based product that provides market insights designed to ascertain the nuance of software providers and products for evaluation using an RFI-based approach. The best practices-based methodology called the Value Index draws on two-plus decades of software research experience and expertise. The research results in the rankings and ratings of software providers and products to ensure that the best possible decision can be made on existing and potential new software providers using a product and customer experience evaluation framework.
Using the Buyers Guides
The Buyers Guide subscription service provides access to software research and experts to guide decision-making in assessing existing or new software providers. The research enables you to confidently assemble a long and shortlist of providers thoroughly and efficiently. The annual subscription service provides the following value:
Educates on software providers and offers insights on the strengths of products.
Enables confidence in your analysis of the software provider’s ability to meet your needs.
Access and Inquiries to Meet Your Needs
- The annual subscription service gives access to published Buyers Guide market reports that span business and IT topics.
- A 30-minute inquiry is included with each Buyers Guide to discuss the research and results with the research director(s) and provide any context to the published study.
- If the Ventana On-Demand (VOD) service is purchased with the subscription service, an incentive is applied to the annual subscription.
