Focus on... Osterman Research

Established in the USA, the strapline of Osterman Research is that the company provides research and insight on messaging, web, collaboration and social media markets and technologies. The company provides a range of offerings including white papers; case studies; articles; vendor service directories; webinars; etc.

The core of Osterman’s research capability is its survey panel, a group of IT professionals and end users that provide information to the company about their IT infrastructure and corporate profile. The panel is continually developing so that it becomes a leading source of information for companies that offer technology-related products and services.  The results of the primary research produced by the panel is written up into white papers, webinars and other deliverables.

Analyst companies that derive a chunk of income from technology-related companies must liaise with end users of technology to inform its research. Otherwise, if company analysts only relied on what was said by spokespeople at technology companies, any market intelligence produced would be compromised. Conversely, analyst companies that derive most income from end users of technology must liaise with technology-related companies to inform its research too, to provide balance. Analyst companies that ignore this research fundamental will falter.
