3044.0. "How can you obtain a Gartner and/or IDC report?" by RHETT::KNORR (Carolina Blue) Thu Apr 28 1994 19:39

    {Cross-posted in the MARKETING notes conference}
    
    Does anyone know where a Digital employee can gain access to a
    particular Gartner Group report and/or IDC report?   Supposedly Gartner
    published a comparison of the major database players (Oracle, SYBASE,
    et al) in September '93 and I would dearly love to get ahold of that
    report.  Also I've been told they do something similar every February.
    
    Additionally I was given a pointer to an IDC report (#7395) which
    includes this information.  Unfortunately I haven't a clue as to how to
    obtain either of these.
    
    Many thanks,
    
    Chris

3044.1some libraries have them58323::GIUNTAThu Apr 28 1994 21:516
    Some of the libraries subscribe to Gartner and IDC such as the one in
    LKG and the one in the MLO.  You can also call IDC and Gartner and
    order the report. I don't know how much they charge, but I do know that
    they charge for the reports.  I always used the ones in the library for
    my research as it was convenient.
