Gartner is a global research and advisory firm that helps executives and their teams make better decisions on business and technology priorities through independent insight, tools and advisory services. Founded in 1979 in Stamford, Connecticut, it has grown into one of the most influential analyst organizations in the world, publishing research across virtually every major enterprise function and technology domain. en.wikipedia.org
The company operates through three primary segments — Research, Conferences and Consulting — delivering subscription-based access to research content, data and benchmarks, signature methodologies such as the Magic Quadrant and Hype Cycle, large-scale executive conferences, and bespoke consulting engagements. These offerings are used by technology buyers and providers alike to evaluate markets, shape product roadmaps, optimize IT spend and plan digital transformation initiatives. stockanalysis.com
Gartner’s scale is a key differentiator: the firm reports more than 21,000 associates supporting roughly 14,000 client enterprises in about 90 countries and territories, with over half a million direct client interactions each year. Its clients span large corporations, government agencies, technology vendors, financial institutions and other organizations seeking structured, data-driven guidance. gartner.com
In recent years Gartner has expanded its digital capabilities with products such as AskGartner, an AI-powered interface that surfaces synthesized answers and citations from Gartner’s research corpus, and Gartner Peer Insights and Peer Community, which aggregate hundreds of thousands of verified peer reviews and executive discussions. Native mobile apps like My Gartner Mobile and Conference Navigator extend these capabilities to smartphones, allowing leaders to consume research, interact with analysts and manage conference experiences on the go. gartner.com
