In 2005, Bloor Research was a launch partner for what is becoming the most important global IT information source for IT decision-makers, when we spun off our IT Analysis and IT Director resources into the independent ITA company. At the heart is an independent web portal - IT-Analysis.com - which brings together research, analysis, comment and opinion from across the entire technology analyst community. The service now also delivers an information feed directly to IT users and suppliers, including organisations with strong communities such as the BPMG and FAST.

Those responsible for IT strategy and purchases will gain key decision-making insight. Regular contributions from over 30 analyst companies (and growing) such as Bloor, Hurwitz, Quocirca, Sageza and Macehiter Ward-Dutton and Freeform Dynamics - plus other independent experts from organisations such as Cranfield University - ensure wide, deep coverage that tows no company line and above all carries authority.
