IAP: Intro to Independent Analyst Platform in Phoenix

IAP%20Small.jpg

I am attending the 'first' Independent Analyst Platform in Phoenix. It is hot outside – 111! Rick van der Lans, the organizer, is using the heat to force us to remain in this cool meeting room. It is three solid days of briefing, seven sessions per day, with a total of 18 vendors. The best part is the 24 analysts that are attending. I know most, but there are some exciting new faces with a nice international flare.

Rick measured our GQ metric for all the analysts. GQ? Google Quota! Rick added up all of our GQ. And, this is getting close to Gartner! Yea! When you divide the respective GQ by the number of analysts involved, the Independent Analysts look even better against Gartner!

Depending on my energy level and concentration, I will try to submit a short blog on each session! Sure… Wish me luck!
