Unsurpassed Research

Nemertes prides itself on conducting research that sets a new standard for integrity, creativity, and relevance. We start with experienced, intelligent analysts who are well-versed on the supply and demand sides of their technology areas of expertise. Then, we deploy our structured research process, which includes feedback from our enterprise and technology provider clients. When the time comes to field the research, Nemertes always conducts detailed interviews with mulit-international IT leaders to understand the whys behind the whats. In some research projects, we also supplement the interviews with electronic surveys of pre-qualified IT or business leaders. The image below describes our research process.

We cover the broad technology categories listed on the left side of this page, and within each category are numerous topics. In addition to delivering our research data through webcasts, one-on-one phone calls, strategy sessions, and custom inquiries, we also produce the following:

Benchmark Data Repository

Modular PowerPoint presentation that includes research findings from each research project we conduct. The presentation includes quantitative charts, architectures, screenshots of cost models, success correlations, and descriptions of emerging product or technology areas.

Issue Papers

Thought-leadership report on a key trend or topic that typically leverages our global research data. Technology providers often license these reports when they align with their products and marketing message.

Business Value Analysis

Custom report that evaluates the value of a specific product or service, based on interviews with users of the product or service. Nemertes conducts the interviews, with a focus on deriving quantitative value. When available, we compare the findings with our existing research to illustrate how the product or service compares with industry norms. The reports also include mini case studies on each company we interview.

Business Value Matrix

The Nemertes’ Business Value Matrix (BVM) gives technology providers insight into how IT Leaders perceive the reliability, cost, and value of their products – compared to the marketplace.

Based on interviews and surveys of IT and business leaders, this research uncovers what they think of their providers based on first-year cost of operations (a combination of capital, implementation, and operational costs) and how they stack-up against the competition.
