    Forrester also provides pro-HANA information in return for SAP’s money.

  • Should You Listen to Gartner on Indirect Access?

    Gartner writes on SAP indirect access. However, SAP also has enormous conflicts of interest in analyzing indirect access as it receives so much money from SAP.
    The question is, how is Gartner on the topic of SAP indirect access.

  • How to Understand Gartner's Mistake on Big Data Forecasting

    ByPrimary Researcher

    … by BlueRidge or by Gartner. It was the objective of BlueRidge to make it seem that its content was Gartners’. Therefore, the statements below are from BlueRidge, not from Gartner. I would suggest that Gartner not allows companies to “republish” their research as it confuses them as to what is Gartners’ and what is BlueRidge. It is also difficult to believe that Gartner was not at some point made aware of the additions by BlueRidge to Gartners’ content.
