Thinking Aloud

There are several ideas that pop in your head when you see a list like this:

1. If you are a product company, is your product category in this list? If it is you can get a lot of useful information about the market, competitors, partners.
2. You can find some correlation between areas of coverage, industries and analysts (not very obvious from this list but can certainly be teased out.

As for me, I was happy to find “Emerging Trends & Technologies” listed here. Our new products and services are about providing tools and services to “Mine Opportunities in Emerging Technologies and Leverage Emerging Trends”.

  1. I think the category is for analysts to identify “emerging trends and technologies” not tools for Gartner’s customers to identify “emerging trends and technologies.” I think you are offering tools for
    “social media surveillance”
    “technology forecasting”
    “competitive intelligence”
    “scenario planning”

    1. That is what some of our current tools do – InfoMinder and InfoStreams, but the current one – InfoPro is to provide Emerging Technology Intelligence. I need to dig a bit deeper into the Gartner category.
