More guff
OK, so I’m back – sorry for the LONG absence, but other things took over my life.
I’m back at another analyst conference (Burton Catalyst in Prague) and again I am so far underwhelmed.
Just sat through a market overview of a particular market, supposedly identifying the key players. Yet again the same old ‘big names’ showed up on the slides, missing out several other companies with not so big names that I happen to know actually have more revenue in this particular space. Also certain smaller players were called out for completely the wrong part of their portfolio. A massively blinkered view of a space they claim to be experts in.
It was a self-indulgent discussion between their own analysts on stage that again proved to be outstandingly content-light.
So in the first session, Burton have completely eroded all confidence I could have had in their ‘analysis’.
How did they choose the ‘case studies’ they are going to present, were they based on how much the vendor spent with them?
If I was an end-user in the audience I have just been misguided and am missing out on some of the new and innovative stuff that I paid a lot of money to learn about.
Am I really going to be interested in their view from now on?
