♦ InfoEdge Research Source - About Experture

Experture was founded in recognition of the need for a new approach to providing IT advisory services; an approach that recognized that the enterprise perspective on IT had changed from being a support organization to its acceptance as a strategic function within the mainstream of the enterprise - in many cases, even acting as a source of competitive advantage. This transition requires that IT pay its own way, that it demonstrate its value to the enterprise, and that it integrate itself seamlessly into the operations of the organization. In addition, the economic environment in which enterprises operate has changed, as well. Budgets are tighter, demands for quantifiable benefits are mandatory, and the pace of technology advancement has continued to accelerate. In order to succeed, IT leaders require on demand, customized, expert advice to meet these challenges.

Experture was built with a vision and a business model crafted for this new era. No longer are IT organizations committed to purchase advisory services designed for all, but customized for none. No longer are IT organizations obligated to substantial annual fees to pay for services that may never be utilized. The on demand model that has proven itself so successful in the delivery of IT function is now available for IT advisory services.

The overall idea is straightforward. IT organizations subscribe to a core set of Experture deliverables and services. The client does not get reams of unasked for generic research. Instead, the client gets targeted, actionable data and the ability to control how his Experture resources are directed. Experture focuses these resources on the timely response to inquiries and requests for advice to address specific, immediate, issues and challenges. They also provide a broad range of consulting services for more extensive tasks and complex projects.
