What We Do
Technology companies are under continuous pressure to maintain aggressive year-over-year growth in an increasingly competitive global landscape. To hit these aggressive growth targets requires more than the best product, distribution, and people. It requires the best data.
For companies selling technology, there is no greater competitive advantage than having detailed, accurate, up-to-date intel on the global technology landscape, from which technologies are companies using, to how much they are spending on those technologies, to which technologies they’re actively researching, and which GSIs are influencing their purchase decisions.
Having this data enables you to make better decisions on which markets to prioritize, which products to build, where to allocate resources, who to partner with, how to design territories, and which accounts to prioritize, all the way down to what message to use.

We believe our people are crucial to our success. We work in an inclusive environment where different backgrounds and perspectives are valued and encouraged, regardless of any individual differences.
