Gartner Launches Role-based Services
US based technology agency Gartner has launched a new offering. 'Gartner for IT Leaders' aligns a client's specific job-related challenges with the appropriate Gartner analysts and connects clients to IT counterparts who share common business and technology issues.
The first two such offerings are 'Security and Risk Management' and 'Infrastructure and Operations.' Clients will be able to access unique gartner.com home pages, by functional/role area, which will serve as gateways to a role-specific site. Content on these sites will include: Introduction to the role, organizational structures, activity cycles, exclusive blogs, polling, hot picks, frequently asked questions (FAQs) and 'most relevant' research mapped on subsequent pages, grouped by activity cycle phases.
According to Dale Kutnick, Senior VP and Director of Research, 'Gartner for IT Leaders makes our research easier for clients to use in the context of how they work in their specific roles. These offerings will provide our clients with the contextualized, actionable content and technology-related insight necessary for them to make the right decisions, every day.'
The Security and Risk Management offering is also targeted at IT leaders in segments such as privacy and data protection, compliance, application security, data security, Web security and network security. The Infrastructure and Operations offering is also targeted at IT leaders in segments such as networks, telecommunications, business continuity/disaster planning, asset management and data center.
Later this year, Gartner will launch six additional role-based offerings in IT areas: Business Intelligence and Information Management; Sourcing and Vendor Relationships; Enterprise Architecture, Business Process Analysis and Planning; Application Management, and Program and Project Management. In 2007, Gartner intends to offer role-based access and products designed specifically for technology and service providers.
