Market Research Service
Market Trends Service Coverage
The Standish Group's market trends research analyzes both buyer behavior and best practices. Each month The Standish Group executes an in-depth survey collecting hard data on 20 different market segments. This research is backed by the input of over 3,000 research participants. Markets include application development, business intelligence, mobile computing, server and storage, and design and requirements. Trends research covers major markets such as readiness, green computing, project management, business process management, service oriented architecture, compliance, open source and more. The choice of what we cover is driven by our customers - we deliver what our customers need, when they need it.
These survey results are then further analyzed through quarterly targeted focus groups which provide additional insight into the trends and motivations behind planned behavior.
