Skills Connection

We are a team of former senior Gartner analysts and executives who offer our knowledge and expertise to help technology companies improve their relationships with the analyst community. We work as an extension to your own team to help you prepare for analyst assessments, deliver briefings and maintain an ongoing dialogue with the community. We're not afraid to get our hands dirty. We understand what the analysts want to see from you, because we were senior analysts ourselves. We know the best way for you to present yourselves to make your company stand out. We advise you on what information you need to share, at what time and in what format, in order to minimize disruption to your business.
