Phil Hassey, VP Services, Springboard Research
"What attracted me to Springboard Research is the innovative and fresh approach that they are taking to the IT research industry. Existing research and analyst firms have placed high demand on vendors to change, but have not as readily changed their business models rapidly enough. I believe that the success that Springboard Research has had in their short history will be replicated in their geographic expansion to the important Australia and New Zealand market, as well as the global services industry. I am very proud to be part of the team that will deliver these enhanced capabilities to clients."

This will enable Springboard Research to further provide enhanced client insights in both the Services and ANZ market place to its clients.
