Access the Experts
Cutter Consortium's Access to the Experts inquiry program, available to Cutter Consortium members, provides you with astute analysis and advice directly from Cutter's renowned experts. You'll find that your inquiry calls with Cutter experts are very different from those you may be used to with analysts at other IT research/advisory firms. The difference comes from Cutter's independent community of recognized experts -- each with years of experience addressing the same kinds of problems you're encountering. Cutter's experts:
have written some of the seminal books in business-technology;
they've held high-level positions in global organizations;
they work with enterprises around the globe helping solve problems like you face.
These outspoken authorities will give you the advice you really need, not just what you want to hear (or what some vendor wants you to hear).
Your Client Research Manager
Every client organization with Access to the Experts is assigned a Client Research Manager who fields your inquiries and matches the right expert to your inquiry. He or she ensures your questions are answered promptly and handles the logistics for teleconferences. We dedicate the time to coordinating the communications, so you can concentrate on getting the answers you need.
Use the Time Any Way You Want
Access to the Expert time can be used in a variety of ways. Set aside time for your CIO to have a conversation with the same Cutter IT strategist every month, building a rapport with this expert so he/she will develop a sound understanding of your organization's framework and how the issues you face fit within this framework. Or make inquiries on a variety of different topics. Or choose a Senior Consultant with whom you'd like to brainstorm with when ad hoc issues arise. However you choose to use your Access to the Expert, you can be sure the Senior Consultant who answers your questions will have the very best expertise.
While some inquiries may be answered informally by our experts, others will require research and further conversation in order to provide the best advice. But in each and every case you'll get one of the best minds in the industry working on your problem right away.
