According to the announcement, the addition of Giga to the company’s partner roster provides further momentum to DeepCanyon’s objective of offering the highest-quality collection of expert analyses of technology trends and market forecasts. The site already brings together dynamic market intelligence and business content from several highly regarded sources, including ARS, ActivMedia, Dun & Bradstreet, Forrester Research, Institute for the Future, IntelliQuest Information Group, Northern Light Technology, The Yankee Group, and Zona Research.
DeepCanyon will serve as a new distribution point for a select number of Giga’s IdeaBytes: concise discussions of analyst ideas and recommendations on a particular topic. In addition, DeepCanyon will have a number of Giga Planning Assumptions, catalyst-driven research that provides more detailed analysis of topics. Giga’s research content—which focuses on the role of technology in e-business—historically has been available only to its subscribers, typically larger corporations with dedicated budgets for market research. This research is now being made available and affordable for small to mid-sized companies.
“We are committed to increasing access to our research by making it more affordable and finding new channels for distribution,” said Ann K. Coffou, vice president of Giga’s e-Content Business Development. “DeepCanyon is an ideal distribution partner because it is so clearly focused on making targeted, in-depth information more readily available to busy marketing professionals.”
“Giga is one of the top e-business research and advisory firms in the industry, and it chooses its partners very carefully,” said Lisa Wellman, CEO of DeepCanyon. “This agreement signifies its noteworthy support of DeepCanyon’s mission to help its customers find clear, relevant market intelligence on the Internet.”
Giga Information Group provides objective research, advice, and continuous coaching on technology for e-business. Giga’s integrated suite of offerings helps clients make strategic decisions about the technologies, people, and processes needed to excel in the new digital economy.
