New Specialist Service Tracks Microsoft Tech & Trends

B2B media and marketing solutions provider Converge360 has launched Redmond Intelligence, a research and consulting service providing data and guidance on Microsoft-related technology and business issues.

Converge360, which is part of B2B Media Services group 1105 Media Inc., already tracks and reports on Microsoft technology trends on behalf of technology professionals via publications such as Redmondmag.com and RCPmag.com, as well as specialist events. The new service taps experienced authors and speakers to create sponsored reports and custom research backed by surveys of the parent company's audience of readers and conference attendees.

The new service's four core offerings will be the flagship Redmond Intelligence Research Report; shorter Best Practices Reports covering options for IT administrators and developers in particular technologies; customised report Solution Spotlight; and consultancy by the hour, by telephone or at Converge360 events.

Scott Bekker, Editorial Director of the Converge360 business unit, comments: 'With Microsoft's transition to public cloud services, integration with open source and drastically accelerated development cycle, companies need more help than ever before to figure out where Microsoft is going next with its technology and how to derive the most business value from it. Our research will distill key trends to help companies make the right moves'.
