Lighthouse Software Analyst Index

ByDuncan Chapple July 20, 2006

Here are the top ten software suppliers with the highest profile in analyst research over the last seven weeks. It is inevitable to notice that the top three firms still have their feet firmly in the ground. Such domineering contestants seem to be holding a great proportion of the market and not give much opportunity to other players to gain more of an analyst interest.

Nevertheless BMC has gained more mentions taking the 10th position whilst CA, Siebel and Symantec clime up a step closer to the peak.

Further down the top 25 Software Index, astonishing performance for SSA moving from the 37 position where it stood in June to the 19th position in July. With a big leap of 18 places SSA secures a place in the top 25 league. SeeBeyond experiences the sharpest decline in analysts focus and drops out of top 25, followed by Interwoven and Business Objects.

New entrants in the top 25 league this month are also Sungard and McAfee.

Oracle freezes out Bloor Research
ByDuncan Chapple July 6, 2005March 23, 2008
Bloor and Oracle seem to be in a war of words. According to Bloor’s technology Research Director, Philip Howard, “Oracle doesn’t like my suggesting that it is under attack or, if it is, it’s only because it is the leading database vendor (in its eyes) and therefore a natural target. Indeed, it dislikes the suggestion…

AR Classics: Gideon Gartner on Theory G and sales
ByGuest Author April 10, 2020April 10, 2020
Gideon Gartner’s website has been toppled by PHP problems, so I’m reposting one of the articles I’ve spent the most time reviewing while writing my PhD. In it, the Gartner, Inc, founder explains the role of the firm’s guiding theory in developing its approach to sales and pricing. Around 1986 I was still working to…
