The best way to assess risk and respond to serious incidents is to use data for informed decision making. Heightened awareness of the coronavirus (COVID-19) elevates questions about IT preparedness and potential proactive measures.

This survey provides data to help the broader IT community understand our readiness and the role of technologies like the cloud and online collaboration platforms in response to a possible health emergency. Results will be available at no cost.

OUR MISSION: TO DEMOCRATIZE ACCESS TO INDUSTRY EXPERT KNOWLEDGE

Disruption is occurring across every aspect of IT. Open source, cloud services, DevOps and cloud-native software architectures are democratizing IT and radically transforming how business is done in every industry and in organizations large and small. The old ways of creating software and “doing IT” are being replaced with agile, flexible, faster and cheaper methods, benefitting vendors and users alike.

But what hasn’t changed is the IT industry analyst model: Analysts extract knowledge from tech vendors and users to create ratings, quadrants and waves, then sell that information back to vendors and users at extravagant prices.

That changes now. Starting here.

Accelerated Strategies Group is out to democratize access of industry expertise and knowledge. Our experts don’t just regurgitate what others tell us; we use our expertise and experience to offer insightful, intelligent, useful information in a variety of formats relevant to the IT community: digital events, videos, reports, assessments, workshops and implementation projects with tech vendors, IT organizations and business leaders. And, similar to the open core model of open source companies, we widely and openly share our work products, often for free.
