Cloud Platforms and Accessibility Hurdles

The latest ISG Buyers Guide for Cloud Computing Platforms uncovers the market evolution of regional and global cloud providers. Buyers Guides for Public Cloud Platforms, Private Cloud Platforms and Hybrid Cloud Platforms are part of the recent software provider evaluations. ISG Software Research defines Cloud Platforms as a software service for organizations to access virtualized IT resources via the internet on a pay-per-use basis. These resources include servers, data processing power, data storage, networking infrastructure, virtualization capabilities and more. Cloud platforms are an enterprise alternative to operating on-premises data centers and compute environments. However, not all cloud platforms are suitable for all enterprise use cases. Multiple capabilities remain underrepresented and will keep enterprises from accelerating the adoption of cloud-powered services and broader migration of workloads. This analyst perspective highlights opportunities for cloud service providers to better meet enterprise requirements in the coming years.

Technology Transforms ERP for a More Effective Finance Department

ERP systems have been the central nervous system of enterprises for more than three decades, handling business-critical process management and recordkeeping. While their basic outlines are unchanged, today’s systems are far more capable in their functional depth, adaptability, usability and manageability. Especially for cloud-based systems, they are far easier to maintain. Decades of refinement and focused development to support specific industries, and even specialized categories within these industries, have increased their utility while decreasing the total cost of ownership, especially in implementation expense and maintenance. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the latest supporting technology to increase the business value of the software. So, when considering replacing existing ERP software, it’s most important to understand and evaluate how a new system can add to the capabilities of the incumbent and how to manage the organizational change that will become possible and necessary with that change.

Compensation Renaissance: The Role of Technology in Revamping Rewards

Compensation practices are currently experiencing a substantial transformation, driven by evolving workforce expectations and rapid technological innovation. This shift is fundamentally reshaping how organizations approach rewards and recognition for workers. Technologies like data analytics enable more precise and personalized compensation management strategies while also fostering greater transparency and equity in how performance is measured and rewarded. These changes reflect a broader effort to adapt compensation practices to meet the dynamic needs of today's workforce and maximize technology to optimize every aspect of rewards systems.

U.S. retail and CPG success hinges on data-driven agility and prioritizing both customers and workers

The U.S. retail sector is at a crossroads. Regulatory changes, evolving consumer expectations, and rapid technological advancements continue reshaping the marketplace.

This report summarizes ISG’s analysis of significant regional developments from 2023 through 2025. It offers actionable guidance for retail and consumer packaged goods (CPG) clients seeking technology and services to improve their ability to address critical challenges and operate the business profitably while exploring new ways to do business — and for new businesses entirely.

Retail analytics for differentiation

As competitive differentiation narrows, retailers scramble toward harnessing their data assets to offer improved and personalized customer interactions and stay ahead in the race. However, traditional retail analytics cannot fulfill this completely, and over-the-shelf products promise little to no differentiation. Hence, to thrive, retailers apply their understanding of challenges and business acumen to codevelop tailored AIbased analytics solutions with leading analytics providers to infuse the needed flexibility and ensure rapid responsiveness into their  planning, execution and customer processes.

U.S. public sector agencies must fight increasingly sophisticated attacks on a constant basis

Data breaches are costly. The average U.S. cybersecurity breach cost across the public and private sectors is $9.5 million per breach. U.S. government agencies are not exempt from this, despite the government spending substantial sums on cybersecurity. At the federal level, the budget for 2024 is projected at $12.7 billion. The largest allocation is for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with a budget of over $3 billion. The federal government funds the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP), which allocates funds to states. The budget for this program was $400 million in 2023. This amount is typically matched by state funding for cybersecurity projects, reflecting the high degree of spending required to allow agencies to stand still from a cybersecurity perspective.

ISG Provider Lens™ Cybersecurity – Solutions and Services - Global 2024

As enterprises increasingly rely on cloud applications, remote workforces and interconnected systems, the complexity and sophistication of cyberthreats have escalated. This dynamic environment requires advanced security measures that go beyond traditional perimeter defenses. As cyberthreats continue to grow in  sophistication, the adoption of such cutting-edge security measures will be essential for maintaining a strong cybersecurity posture.

What’s New in Technology for Office of Revenue?

Spring and fall are conference seasons, and this spring I was fortunate to be invited to several software provider events that are part of my coverage of the Office of Revenue.

And while artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI (GenAI) were front and center, there were other announcements where the focus was more on the potential changes that these technologies would enable within enterprises and their revenue teams.

The Evolving Strategic Needs for Successful AI and ML

The artificial intelligence and machine learning landscape was profoundly altered by the emergence of generative AI into the mainstream consciousness during 2023. The widespread availability of GenAI models and cloud services has lowered the barriers to individuals and enterprises engaging with AI for various use cases, including generating content, querying data, writing code, preparing data for analysis, documenting data pipelines and using software products more effectively.

Who Poisoned the AI Watering Hole: Adversarial Threats in AI

Embracing artificial intelligence technologies opens doors for innovation and efficiency. Alongside these opportunities, however, come risks. Threat actors are keenly aware of the potential impact of AI systems and are actively exploring ways to manipulate them. In this Analyst Perspective, I explore the world of adversarial machine-learning threats and provide practical guidance for securing AI systems.

Sophisticated threats and emerging technologies challenge enterprise growth and resilience objectives

In 2023, several high-profile data breaches and cyberattacks strengthened and drove the growth of the U.S. cybersecurity market. Data breaches in 2023 catapulted to 3,205 compared to 1,802 in 2022, affecting over 353 million individuals with compromises, including data breaches, leakage and exposure. The healthcare sector remained the primary target, witnessing more than double the number of data breach incidents compared to 2022, followed closely by the financial services industry, which experienced 744 incidents and marked a substantial increase.

Examining affordable, adaptive and secure options for SLED hybrid cloud and data center needs

ISG research indicates that U.S. public sector organizations, including state, local and educational (SLED) agencies, are using colocation, managed hosting and hybrid cloud managed services 20 to 30 percent more than they were in 2020. This means that SLED agencies need more help than ever with private/hybrid cloud and data center environments.

Being a small firm, when we receive business leads from our website, I make it a point to ask how they learned about Priority Metrics Group. Their reply is either a generic search or Greenbook, so we know Greenbook generates numerous opportunities for us. We will continue advertising in GreenBook in the future and look forward to continued growth.

Top 5 Technology Research Services Firms for 2022

Steven zolman.

A few days ago, a long-time client asked us about our views on some industry analyst firms, and it got me thinking again about who people trust when they need real industry analysis and not just the latest (largely unsolicited) market report, so I decided to write this blog about the Top 5 Technology Research Services Firms clients should use in 2022. Now, I think I know what you are thinking….you are probably thinking this is a pointless blog because everyone already knows that the Top 3 technology research services firms are Gartner , Forrester , and IDC , right? Well, what if I told you that after much industry consolidation, we took a detailed look at the 39 remaining firms we cover (after 15 firms we used to track have been acquired), and that those supposed top 3 market heavyweights that you believe are the best do not even make it to our Top 5 List! Will you read on to find out why?

NET(net) is a leading source of industry counter-intelligence, and because we exclusively advocate for the benefit of clients, and do not accept any money or favor from the technology suppliers, we are generally considered to be persona non grata to most of the technology industry cartel – which is fine by us (don’t get it twisted – we are not lamenting here!). There is a certain liberating feeling that comes with our position in the industry, which enables us to speak the plain truth freely, unbeholden to the technology oligarchs and unaffected by their economic and political stranglehold on the advisory community. Unlike the major analyst firms, we also fund 100% of our own market research, and neither rely on supplier funding, nor content contributions.

Further, because we are also not concerned with our social standing, we get to speak truth to power, saying what others refuse to say, and we can therefore tell you this: It is our sincere belief that Gartner, Forrester, and IDC do not perform Market Research on technology suppliers as you may have been led to believe all these years, rather they do paid Marketing Reinforcement for the technology supplier community, giving supplier marketing slicks a dubious feeling of ‘independent’ credibility. Seemingly, no matter how many people understand how this game is played, it continues to be played, and everyone just nods their heads in approval about how this supplier or that supplier is ‘independently’ rated as a leader in their market and goes about their business.

There are numerous examples of how Market Analysts gaslight the entire IT eco-system with supplier advertisements and puff-pieces disguised as so-called hard-hitting Market Research Reports. Please:

• Gartner does it with its Magic Quadrants
• Forrester does it with its Wave
• IDC does it with MarketScape

You don’t have to look very hard to find the major problem with this approach. When buyers are considering who to evaluate, they routinely look at the ‘upper right’ quadrant of the latest magic quadrant, and solicit those suppliers via an RFP, but of course that just plays into the supplier’s hands. Suppose the disruptive supplier that offers the highest value and the lowest cost is not considered to be one of the market leading suppliers by your analyst? Consider that the best supplier for a particular solution isn’t even rated at all? Consider that a superior supplier doesn’t have a bloated marketing budget, rather a focus on technology superiority? It’s easy to see how suppliers who ‘play ball’ with analyst firms can increase their opportunities, and suppliers that don’t, can’t, or won’t, will suffer.

Another problem is due to the balance of trade. The Industry Analyst Cartel gets paid a lot more by the major suppliers than they are paid by you (which is an inherent conflict of interest from the start in our view) and problematically, neither the Analyst nor the Supplier discloses the payment amounts in their market ‘reports’ which also makes them seem clearly tainted, and designed to manipulate opinion, in our view. So, if you are looking to your analyst to give it to you straight about the shortcoming of xyz supplier, and you pay your analyst firm $36k per year, but the supplier pays them $3.6M per year, guess where their loyalties lie?

• What if a ‘magic quadrant’ ranks Supplier A, first and Supplier B, second – both as leaders.
• Supplier C, third, is located down in the lower left quadrant as a laggard.
• AND you ALSO knew that Supplier A paid Gartner $2M
• Supplier B paid Gartner $1M.
• Supplier C paid Gartner nothing.

Does it change your view about their so-called objective rankings? When you hear from the suppliers who do not pay Gartner (and others), like open-source suppliers, or startups that lack the budget, you will gain from their perspective. They will say it’s a pay-for-play scheme on a slanted playing field that gives the overwhelming advantages to the well-funded suppliers with big marketing budgets, and almost no serious consideration is given to the open source and/or start up crowds.

This business model is largely broken. Gartner (and others) rely on supplier payments to fund (and in some cases conduct) their market research, and routinely publish barely edited supplier marketing documents masquerading as valid research reports; and almost everyone in the industry knows this, yet for some reason inexplicably accepts this practice. In addition to this, many of the industry analyst firms track your activity and sell marketing leads to the very suppliers you are researching. We cover this in more detail in another blog we wrote called: Top 4 (of 100) Technology Review Platforms for 2021 .

In the chart below, you will see that the sheer number of analysts certainly appears to give Gartner a strong advantage in the comparative analytics, but when you also consider that several hundred of their analysts cover the semiconductor market in China, maybe you will change your tune a bit?

When you look at the percentages of employees who are true analysts, it starts to become clear that the industry ‘Big 3’ must be in some different business other than providing industry insights and market analysis to their customers:

(Click to enlarge.  Source: ARInsights )

By objective measures, the three analyst firms that have the most analysts by a percentage of their employee counts are:

• Omdia (57.5%),
• Strategy Analytics, Inc (46.6%), and
• 451 Research (39.1%);

Subsequently, and party as a result, all the above make our Top 5 List.

In the end, industry analyst firms focus and report on what is essentially considered to be market averages, and they rely on supplier representations for a good portion of that. Much of their market research is supplier funded and designed to create complexity when things can be simplified so that you’ll need an analyst to break it down for you. In sharp contrast, our clients are not at all concerned about industry averages, rather, they are concerned about simplifying things to achieve exceptional outcomes and clients rely on us to provide specific insights designed to meet their most demanding use cases, and engage us to deliver targeted services to help them achieve the most disproportionate and beneficial results – so instead of paying to get general industry information about what is average, why not engage us to help you be more exceptional in the most meaningful ways?

Our Picks for the Top 5 Market Analysts Firms: (Descriptions are provided by the suppliers and are not necessarily reflective of our view).

1: 451 Research

4: Strategy Analytics, Inc.

The Remaining (34) Market Analysts we considered: (Descriptions are provided by the suppliers and are not necessarily reflective of our view).

Brightwork Research (Shaun Snapp)

Brightwork produces unique research and focuses on getting to the reality of software, ranging from functionality analysis to TCO.

Digital Clarity Group

As its name suggests, Digital Clarity aims to make digital business clear to its customers, and tackles some of the perplexing questions of the day. Among them are the many questions around the General Data Protection Regulation, the EU directive which is causing so much upheaval in the economy now. It also deals with subjects that are perhaps less widely discussed, such as direct-to-consumer commerce in the manufacturing sector. Understanding digital technologies will be essential if more manufacturers are to reach their end customers directly, without any “middlemen”.

Another small and nimble tech analyst, HfS highly regarded in the industry and has recently won many plaudits and awards. In recent months it’s been monitoring the developing blockchain, among other technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, digital business models and smart analytics. HfS also has what looks to be a unique or at least unusual approach in the way it packages its services, through offerings such as “ "As-a-Service Economy" and "OneOffice”, which it has actually trademarked.

Information Handling Services and Markit were two very well-regarded consultancies which agreed a “merger of equals” back in 2016. The combined IHS Markit generated almost $4 billion a year and has about 13,000 employees worldwide. The reason why we’ve placed IHS Markit at the top is that, while it does provide traditional consultancy services, it has a huge range of software on offer, and can build custom applications for clients. Even though the underlying business is full of complexity, its presentation makes accessing its services seem simple and immediately useful.

Informa Tech

Cast from the “Tech” capabilities at Informa and UBM, as well as from the recent acquisition of the majority of the IHS Markit Technology research products & solutions portfolio, Informa Tech is a market leading B-to-B information provider with depth and specialism in the Information and Communications (ICT) Technology sector. We're a global business of more than 1.000 colleagues, subject matter experts in the markets we cover and serve, operating in more than 20 markets. Our purpose is to inspire the technology community to design, build and run a better world… and we do this by informing, educating, and connecting those communities via our research, digital media, events and training products and services. We offer an unrivalled reach to decision-makers in the technology marketplace, leveraging over 100 recognized and trusted brands, including AfricaCom, Black Hat, Broadband World Forum, GDC, InformationWeek, Interop, Light Reading, Ovum, and The AI Summit. Every year, we welcome 14.000 subscribers to our research, nearly 4 million unique visitors a month to our digital communities, over 18.200 students to our training programs and 225.000 delegates to our events.

ISG is steeped in technology and is particularly interested in advanced technology such as automation, robotics and autonomous transport systems. Augmented and virtual reality also gets a lot of attention at ISG. In summary, ISG, like all of the consultancies on this list – and the many we have not mentioned – is preoccupied with digital transformation, moving from the old world into the new. What many may be wondering is whether moving to the new world required severing our connections with the old world, or whether the two can be bridged, and if so, which areas of the old economy will remain?

We offer the flexibility of either a top-down strategic approach, or a bottom-up tactical approach to our clients’ projects, depending on each client’s unique business transformation objectives.

Parks Associates

Parks Associates has been established since 1986, but it has seen strong growth in the past couple of years. One of the reasons for this growth is its concentration on digital technologies for the home – whether its smart televisions, smart speakers, smart doorbells, or any other smart home device or appliance. Some tech observers say that household items will become more and more “intelligent”, in that they will integrate more chips and sensors, and, inevitably, they will collect more data – about the machine itself as well as its environment. This places Parks in the position of monitoring a massive and growing market.

Macquarie Capital Equities appoints new US Head of Technology Research and expands coverage to healthcare services

• Link copied to clipboard

New York, 12 September 2024

• Steve Koenig to lead technology research for the US; Tao Qiu joins as senior healthcare equity research analyst
• Appointments complement existing coverage areas with a focus on technology-enabled services, including gaming and leisure, payments and digital commerce, lifestyle and media tech  

Macquarie Capital Equities (Macquarie) today announced it has appointed Steve Koenig as Managing Director and US Head of Technology Research. Mr. Koenig will lead equities research efforts across the enterprise software and technology sectors in the US. Macquarie has also expanded its equities coverage to include healthcare services, naming Tao Qiu as senior healthcare equity research analyst.

Mr. Koenig has over 20 years’ experience as a sell-side equity research analyst covering enterprise software, having previously served as Managing Director at SMBC Nikko Securities America Inc. and Wedbush Securities, where he led enterprise software equity research. Most recently, Mr. Koenig was an independent consultant working with enterprise software companies to develop and execute impactful investor relations programs. Mr. Koenig began his career at Oracle and worked as a strategy and product marketing consultant to global technology and media companies before transitioning to equities research where he worked at firms including Jefferies, KeyBanc Capital Markets and Longbow Research. He has previously appeared on Bloomberg, CNBC and Fox Business and has been quoted in Reuters, Barron’s and Forbes discussing his research. Mr. Koenig earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Stanford University and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.

“Steve brings extensive industry, analytical and equity research experience, making him a valuable addition to our existing research team,” said Chad Beynon, US Director of Research and Head of Gaming and Leisure. “His strong knowledge and relationships across the enterprise software ecosystem will allow for unparalleled insight and access that our clients rely on. Technology is a highly relevant sector for our global and APAC client base, and we’re pleased to bring Steve’s perspective to that audience.”

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Koenig said: “The technology sector continues to see advances across artificial intelligence, enterprise software and cybersecurity. I’m excited to join Macquarie’s equities research team and enhance its technology coverage to provide the meaningful investment insights that clients demand.”

Mr. Koenig’s appointment follows Macquarie’s expansion into healthcare services research, with the appointment of Tao Qiu as senior healthcare equity research analyst in May. Mr. Qiu brings nearly two decades of experience spanning equity research, direct investment and equity/multi-asset portfolio management. Prior to joining Macquarie, he was a senior analyst at Berenberg covering healthcare real estate and services providers. Before that, he worked at Stifel Nicolaus covering the same sectors. Mr. Qiu began his career at Columbia Management and previously served as managing director of global investment and strategies at Fosun Group in New York, leading cross-border M&A and public investments. He received his undergraduate degree from MIT and graduate degree from Boston University, and is a CFA® charter holder.

“The healthcare services provider industry is highly fragmented and in the process of significant consolidation,” said Mr. Qiu. “As healthcare services undergoes an evolution in its business landscape, I look forward to leading Macquarie’s coverage of the sector.”

The US equity research team provides global expertise, bringing deep, timely and independent insights to uncover issues and trends around core thematic sectors. In addition to healthcare services, the team covers gaming and leisure, media tech, software and technology services, lifestyle and digital payments.

“Our US equities research analysts are committed to delivering differentiated content to global buy-side institutions,” added Mr. Beynon. “Steve and Tao bring proven backgrounds in fundamental research, and we welcome them to our equities division.”

For more than 25 years, Macquarie’s equity research professionals have delivered diversified knowledge, breakthrough ideas and sector themes across public and private companies for institutional clients. With more than 80 analysts, the global team covers over 1,200 stocks across Asia-Pacific and the US.
