Benefits

Relevant information

The DATAMONITOR, ButlerGroup, Ovum and ComputerWire research services provide more than 2000 reports and briefs every year, while giving you access to their company and contracts databases as well as their interactive models.

And while this is valuable information, when you have a specific challenge, you need to get to the relevant information quickly.

Quick access

Our Advisory team is uniquely positioned to cut to the chase for you, delivering links to the most relevant information to meet your specific needs.

They also identify reports and information which, while not central to your investigation may inform you of the wider issues. Finally the team keeps an eye on information available in the public domain and can direct you to these resources should they meet your needs.

Access to experts

Our Advisory team know both the structures and content of the available databases and reports. Our experts are additionally able to bring their experience and knowledge to bear in identifying information which will be most useful to you for a particular purpose. We provide you with a document that links your priorities directly to the available research allowing you to focus immediately on the information you need to resolve a specific issue quickly.

This service is directed at clients who subscribe to DATAMONITOR, ButlerGroup and ComputerWire, and have a specific topic or issue that they need to research.

If your organisation is facing the following challenges, you should use our services:

  • You have a specific issue that you need to research and you need quick access to the relevant research available from your subscription

How it works

If our clients have subscribed to DATAMONITOR, ButlerGroup, and ComputerWire research services, they can use this service to identify research which is relevant to their particular organisational issues.

Our clients approach us with a specific challenge. We will spend some time understanding the issues, criteria and constraints and will investigate and analyse the available research. We will then prepare them a document with prioritisations and contexts. The documentation contains links to the research with short descriptions of how the research is relevant to their issue.

We price the service based on the complexity and number of the issue/s and the number of executives the service is provided to.
