This case study of a small business computer software company is based on a March 2016 survey of The Skills Connection customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled company asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.
“We used The Skills Connection to prepare a Gartner Magic Quadrant (MQ) briefing deck with the aim of moving our dot. We also utilized them to discuss messaging with the analysts when we had a CEO change and an impending lawsuit with an industry giant and one of our technology partners mid-way through the MQ process.”
“We thought we were going to just have a great briefing deck. What surprised us and also exceeded our expectations was the breadth of service and process around the preparation of the inclusion package, right down to how the document should be presented/formatted, the references and the Critical Capabilities report. All of those components made a significant difference.”
“Yes, I would recommend them. The insight and experience they bring to the table about the inner-workings at an analyst firm are extremely valuable to ensuring we put the right information forward, in the right format at the right time. Without them we likely would have repeated the same mistakes made the prior year and quite honestly, I’m convinced without them we likely could have risked even lowering our position instead of improving it.”
