 Each step of our research 
                methodology mirrors a core element of our product offerings. This 
                approach enables us to tie our research to the requirements of our 
                customers.  Data collection is an 
                essential part of our research process. Our databases, representing 
                accurate and current observations, are the most important prerequisite 
                for obtaining excellent research results. The statistics are drawn 
                from numerous, public or confidential sources. Our team spends a large 
                part of its time with the data collection and verification processes. 
                Our objective is not to collect as much data as possible, but to provide 
                accurate and reliable information on key indicators. You can perform a quick 
                price evaluation using  Benchum myData. Our research principles 
                command an intimate knowledge of the market being evaluated and a 
                careful selection of the methodology and tools. Through extensive 
                data analysis, we attempt to identify the driving pricing mechanism 
                and key industry metrics. Another strength of our research is the 
                emphasis we put on building and maintaining strong consultative relations 
                with our clients. Our analysis is always based on practical and observed 
                data. You can examine our findings 
                and recommendations using  Benchum 
                Analysis. Our clients are an important 
                source of current terms and conditions. We are talking and communicating 
                on a daily basis to a large number of customers around the world. 
                Based on this broad input, we know what is happening in the market 
                and what is currently needed. One aspect of Benchum is garnering the 
                collective experience of members of our service. Of course, this strictly 
                has to comply with our basic principle of confidentiality.  You can confer your specific 
                IT sourcing situation using Benchum Inquiry. A key component of developing 
                an effective, proactive IT sourcing environment is accurate forecasting. 
                Our forecasts are not simple guesses, but are based on practical data 
                and cause-and-effect relationships. We have established a quantitative 
                and qualitative framework under the brand Benchum 
                Decision, that integrates a wide range of functions from statistics, 
                financial modeling, and soft computing. It discovers the price pattern 
                in historical data and extrapolates that sketch into the future. Our 
                analysis, conclusions, and recommendations are scrutinized for consistency 
                not with simple, error prone spreadsheet calculations, but with innovative 
                technology. After assessing all options, 
                you need to make a decision. Our decision support software Benchum 
                Decision facilitates making the right IT sourcing decision.  More information on our research topics. |
