Two years ago we launched the first ever research platform for the cybersecurity industry. In the press release I said: "Subscribers get access to all the data we use in our research and reports. They can do their own analysis to test an investment thesis, find targets for acquisition, or create a short-list of vendors for a particular technology they are looking to acquire."
Gartner is the General Motors of broad-based business strategies, flavored with many generations of technology genes. They are very good at sweeping platitudes (much like this statement) and retain more specific knowledge as well. IT-Harvest is becoming the Porsche of the industry, doing far more for its customers/clients in a domain specific area of expertise -- Security. Porsche didn't kill GM. GM is very much alive but it won't kill Porsche either. The cognoscente will go with Porsche when they need the best. (We could debate Corvair vs Boxster or Corvette vs Porsche 911 GT3 but I'm not sure that would be more productive; entertaining perhaps.))

This looks like a phenomenal toolset. I can think of at a least a dozen use cases for almost any business.
