THE CUTTER DIFFERENCE

Cutter Research gives clients Access to the Experts Tap into the brain trust that is the research provided exclusively by Cutter's internationally recognized expert practitioners. On the forefront of their fields, guiding companies daily, these experts' written words have been likened to a "consultancy in print," offering hands-on, actionable advice and solutions.

Cutter Inquiry Privileges give clients Access to the Experts Without exception, every single inquiry is fielded by a Cutter Senior Consultant, Fellow, or Practice Director.

Cutter Consulting, Training, and Exec Ed gives clients Access to the Experts Cutter approaches every assignment as unique, requiring a tailor-made solution, and creates a team for you that includes only its best-in-class experts. Resulting from our iterative, collaborative approach that stresses communication and early and continuous delivery of results, you get the flexibility to adapt to changes as they arise. And since we focus on knowledge transfer, you can move forward on your own, leveraging the results of our work together.

Clients call Cutter "the thinking person's research firm" Reliance on industry trends should not replace the hard work of determining the best approach for your organization given its business strategy and drivers. With Cutter, you get cutting-edge thinking from multiple viewpoints so you can determine what's best under your circumstances.

Emphasis is on strategies and processes, not vendor/product detail Because improved business and organizational outcomes are not driven by products or technologies, success or failure is determined by the processes that affect how technology is governed, implemented, and supported.

No ties to vendors Cutter is unique in having no relationships with vendors. It is well known that other analyst firms derive significant portions of their revenues from vendors and that the choice of which vendors to recommend, evaluate, or promote. Not Cutter.
