If you have questions, we’ll be here to answer them.
The Process
Technology Assessment & Partner Evaluation process is customized for each client’s specific needs, but typically consists of the following:
- Calls: Your dedicated ABI Research Analyst will work closely with your product management and strategy teams to understand your technology assessment goals and determine a timeline that works for you.
- Action Plan: Based on the Discovery Call, our Analyst will present a detailed, structured plan outlining all deliverables and how they align with your business goals. You’ll have an opportunity to review and approve the plan before moving forward, ensuring full transparency and alignment between our research and your expectations.
- Kickoff: Together, we will review the final Action Plan and formally initiate the project.
- Regular Check-Ins: We will regularly host team calls to update you on progress, discuss recent deliverables and important insights, and ensure continued alignment.
- Recommendations Presentation: Our analyst will review our recommendations with your team in-depth.
- Wrap Up: At the end of the project, we will host a wrap-up call to discuss the engagement, our research, and your feedback. We’ll also define new best practices for potential future projects.
