Info-Tech Research Group Launches Drop a Seat Program

LONDON, ON, Feb. 8 /PRNewswire/ - Following Gartner's recent acquisitions of AMR Research and Burton Group, Info-Tech Research Group is launching their own version of a "Drop a Seat" program. Info-Tech Research Group, an IT research firm focused on providing practical IT research that delivers measurable results, today launched a program encouraging IT organizations to drop a seat from their current research provider and instead gain company-wide access to ITA Premium, Info-Tech's flagship research service. The aim of the program is to allow users of other research services not familiar with Info-Tech Research Group an opportunity to experience company-wide access to Info-Tech Research Group's in-depth IT research.

"Burton launched a similar program a few years ago following Gartner's acquisition of Meta Group," said Joel McLean, founder and CEO of Info-Tech Research Group. "I think Jamie Lewis, Burton's former CEO, understood that as formerly independent IT analyst firms were swallowed up by bigger fish, it became more and more difficult to trust that the advice you receive is truly unbiased. With Burton now folded into Gartner, this holds true now more than ever."

In response to the consolidation of the IT research market, Info-Tech Research Group is encouraging people to drop a seat from their current research provider and gain company-wide access to Info-Tech Research Group's research service (www.infotech.com/dropaseat). The IT research firm is confident that new customers will agree its services stand out from the crowd when compared to Gartner, Forrester and Corporate Executive Board.

Info-Tech Research Group's paid membership of more than 21,000 worldwide makes it second to Gartner in terms of number of clients in the IT research industry. The company has grown by providing unbiased, get-your-hands-dirty, practical research that helps clients complete their most important projects.

"It's time to try something different," said McLean. "Working with Info-Tech Research Group analysts you receive personalized attention focused on practical solutions that get you through the storms. It will be the best thing you do for your department, your organization and your career."
