Technology is critical to driving productivity, service improvement and
revenue in every organization — and its importance is growing daily.
We advise thousands of business and technology leaders every day
as a strategic partner. Through those interactions, we’ve identified five
universal needs which, when fulfilled, enable leaders to be fully successful.
As the global leader in research and advice on the business of technology,
Gartner is committed to helping you:
Build success road maps for your
key initiatives
Boost effectiveness and avoid costly mistakes. Find
out whether a key initiative is on track — or headed for
a pitfall. Gartner provides hard-to-find insights drawn from
200,000 client interactions across 85 countries each year.
Our unmatched breadth and depth of coverage ensure
you make better decisions with confidence.
Utilize resources more efficiently and accelerate
results — no need to reinvent. Spend less time searching
and more time strategizing and executing. Access to
Gartner analysts helps you steer your initiatives and “extends
your team” with up-to-the-minute research and analysis,
available when you need it.
Select the right products at the
best pricing and terms
Negotiate money-saving terms and conditions. Don’t pay
more than necessary or buy what you don’t need. We identify
savings in 75% of the thousands of contracts we review each
year, enabling our 14,000 clients to negotiate with power.
Lessen the risk of critical product decisions. Our 960 analysts
aren’t out to sell you anything — but are there to give you the
tools for success. Proprietary Gartner research tools such as
the Magic Quadrant and the Hype Cycle bring you independent,
objective analysis to help you plan and validate your purchase
decisions and stay current with technology trends.
Benchmark to determine what’s
working and what isn’t
Improve business performance. Measure your spending
and operations against our IT performance repository — the
largest in the industry, built on 5,500 IT benchmarks each
year. Our independent, third-party standards focus on
improving IT efficiency and effectiveness, and ensure that
you receive a fair market price for outsourced services.
Drive business growth and directly affect the bottom line.
We help you make IT a strategic differentiator by identifying
critical opportunities and smart savings that improve ROI,
leading to greater investment in technology.
Connect with valuable peers
Test your thinking and obtain new ideas. Gain new
perspectives, find answers and learn from the experiences
of qualified peers who have faced similar challenges.
Gartner has the largest and most influential peer network
for technology professionals.
Expand your network — and your vision. Share ideas
that help solve problems and drive innovation. Gartner clients
meet peers at our world-class events, through our membership
programs and within Gartner Peer Connect, our exclusive
online community.
Empower yourself and your team
through professional development
Build a top-performing, cohesive team. Successful initiatives
begin with a strong team. We offer solutions that help you
create a vision for your team as a whole and support each
member’s individual growth. Individual leadership development
ensures business as well as IT skills are honed and developed,
so your IT organization attracts and retains the best talent.
Lead through change more effectively. Make the right
decisions, every day — even in the midst of rapid change.
From one-on-one executive coaching to role-specific Gartner
events, you and your team can acquire new competencies
and benefit from pragmatic advice you won’t find elsewhere.
