Gartner, Inc. Research Report

On August 5, 2013, Gartner, Inc. (Gartner) issued a special report examining the future for IT sales strategies. According to the report, one of the biggest barriers to innovation in the traditional technology providers' sales model is the lack of flexibility they encounter in reinventing themselves without placing quarterly revenues at risk. The Company stated that the most common thing to happen in business is the failure of leading companies to stay on top of their industries when technologies or markets change. Tiffani Bova, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst at Gartner, said, "The greatest innovation challenge for providers today may be in finding the means to reinvent the sales organization and go-to-market model to meet new market demands, while at the same time continuing to protect and defend existing customers and deliver net new revenue. The key to moving forward is to take a customer-centered approach and adopt sales models that support customers' new buying processes, rather than fight against them."
