"Gartner has really impacted the messaging of our business. Our marketing has never been the strongest in the industry. We didn’t put the resources there. Now we can tap into Gartner knowledge and come up with a better story." Ron Remy
CEO, Mobile Heartbeat

Achieve Product Success

Portfolio innovation is vital to technology and service provider growth, but failure rates are high due to misalignment with customer buying priorities. Portfolio success is grounded in a deep understanding of customers’ business needs and objectives, coupled with an understanding of the possibilities of technology—in particular, the possibilities presented by emerging technologies and services. We can help you evaluate market opportunities, understand user needs and adopt best practices for successful product and/or service strategies and launches.

"The other side was technology and what is going to be the roadmap for our product. What is going to be the future of the market? What is the competitive analysis at the moment? How are we going to differentiate ourselves? With Gartner, we are getting very critical answers to all of these questions." Gokhan Say
Co-Founder, ATARLABS

Effectively Manage Business Performance

Emerging tech CEO's are challenged to establish and refine effective measures for their business especially during times of hyper-growth. To effectively manage business performance, both strategy and tactics must be applied. We arm emerging tech CEOs with best practices and tools not to just measure performance but to attract and retain talent while managing the company culture as the business grows.

"I don't anticipate Gartner to be a one-year contract per say, it's really a multi-year relationship. This year is mostly focused on me and trying to build the right team around myself who can appreciate the business goals. So I think this year will help me look to build out a stronger management team." Rajan Vasudevan
CEO, OceanManager

Corporate Development

Growth aspirations will often compel technology providers to enter new markets, form strategic alliances or perform M&A actions. Emerging tech CEOs are challenged to take quick action on corporate development opportunities that they need to pursue for growth beyond their current products and customer segments. Gartner helps you with decision-making and actions needed to scale.
