About Vital Analysis
Vital Analysis is a very different kind of technology research organization. We are the intersection set
where exceptional technology market knowledge meets the executive suite. Where other "analysts"
replay vendor press releases, we give you the:
impact new technologies will have on your business.
reasons why you should care about specific emerging solutions.
business justifications why you may want specific solutions.
Vital Analysis was carved out of TechVentive, Inc. in 2007 as a new, but complementary business. As
designed, Vital Analysis is the publishing, research and analytical arm of that company.
Our reach, like our blog readership, is truly global. We've consulted with top technology executives in
Australia, Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States. We've been briefed by technology
providers from virtually every corner of the planet.
