Welcome to GigaOm’s research bulletin for November 2023
Hi, and welcome back!
GigaOm’s partnership with Ingram Micro clearly shows how we bring something new and unique to the industry. Read more here from Karl Connolly, Field CTO at Ingram Micro, about how our practitioner-led research and advisory approach enables partner, product and sales teams at Ingram and beyond.
Plus, we’ve listened to your feedback on our research process, report formats and radar scoring and have implemented a raft of changes as a result. You can find specifics of scoring changes here, and you will already start to see differences in research and briefing requests. As always, we welcome any comments you may have!
Finally, our latest podcast discusses the importance and role of observability in today’s market landscape from both an enterprise and an end-user standpoint. Give it a listen!
