"The research and technology analyst industry has been plagued with a significant amount of unsubstantiated or partial research as I further identified in 2012. Our industry needs radical change, and industry professionals across business and IT should continue to be weary of advice that is built on opinions and research that is skewed analysis based on technology vendor influence," said Mark Smith, CEO & Chief Research Officer of Ventana Research. "Our clear differentiator is our rigor and methodology we apply to properly research the market. Our research agendas were developed to fill the void that exists in quality, fact-based research and inform and educate business and technology buyers and suppliers. I encourage other technology analyst firms to publicly post their research agenda on the Internet to help improve the quality and value of what our industry provides to the buyers and suppliers of technology."
