Survey data can help you better understand your market and your competitive positioning within that market. It can let you know what your potential and current clients are saying about you and your competitors and may explain why a company is outperforming yours.

The advantages of partnering with a market research firm are numerous. Companies like ETR not only have the tools needed to conduct the survey, but also the analyst resources to help you understand the data you receive. They also have the expertise needed to determine the best audience topics and questions to make your survey successful.

About ETR

Enterprise Technology Research (ETR) is a technology market research firm that gathers data from its community of vetted professionals to create research reports and custom surveys, as well as facilitate panel discussions and 1:1 expert calls regarding organizations’ spending decisions related to enterprise technology products and services.

One of the most notable ways ETR is different than other market research firms is our primary data comes directly from the source, instead of basing insights on someone else’s opinion.

Also, what sets us apart is the longevity of our data and how sector-specific it is. Since 2010, ETR has been collecting data on over 600 tech companies.
