Segment-Beating Growth, "Popular IT Expert Model" Inspired Selection

Information technology (IT) advisory firm Cutter Consortium announced today that information industry research firm Outsell, Inc. selected it as a "Rising Star" in the IT Research, Reports and Services (ITRRS) market. This designation appeared in Outsell's 10th annual Information Industry Outlook: Future Facts 2007.

Cutter was selected for its segment-beating growth that is driven by its "popular IT expert model". Cutter's CEO Karen Coburn responded, "We're pleased that Outsell has recognized what we're hearing in the marketplace -- the collaborative community of internationally recognized experts Cutter has assembled to offer content, consulting and training allows our clients to tap into an unparalleled brain trust of hands-on expertise."

According to Outsell, "We see enterprise content buyers expecting more choices and alternatives to the top market share leaders in ITRRS, but having difficulty finding new options. IT professionals continue to focus on the tactical side issue of how to implement technology and not just what to buy." Coburn concurred, stating, "Since Cutter has always emphasized strategies and processes rather than technologies and products, we are positioned as an ideal choice for IT executives and information buyers seeking ITRRS alternatives."

Outsell releases this report annually in September, allowing its clients to take advantage of its forecasts and predictions for year-end planning. It is offering complimentary copies of Information Industry Outlook: Future Facts 2007 on its website.
