Bloor Research is a company founded with one principle:

"To enable people to choose the optimal technology
solution for their needs."

We're passionate about this and it dictates how we work.

At Bloor we work with you as IT vendors or users to improve your business performance. We make sure that users understand how their needs will be met by IT and that vendors understand what users need from their solutions. Our business is about:

• enabling our clients to understand the business drivers and choose appropriate technology for their business
• saving our clients' time and money by providing independent product and buyer requirements, assisting their access to the right customers - with comparison and analysis that is clear, succinct and thorough
• saving our clients' time and money by advising them of market and buyer requirements and assisting their access to the right customers.

We do this using a combination of Knowledge, People and Access...

Knowledge - so that clients understand business issues and how technology can be applied to solve those issues. Knowledge about products offering technology solutions and the IT vendors offering them. We make this knowledge available in a variety of forms from our research reports, website and events.

People - both users and vendors who benefit from Bloor's hundreds of man-years of experience, with our analysts providing advice, guidance and expertise on a wide variety of business and technology issues within what we refer to as our Optimal Technology Framework.

Access - Bloor is able to influence both vendor and users behaviour, by feeding back User needs and market trends revealed through our analysts' customer engagements to help vendors develop more appropriate products. Through speaking engagements and events we can help user contact potential vendors, as well as providing peer networking and opportunities for vendors to promote their capabilities.
