How can Gartner Research be used?
Gartner can be used by Pitt Innovators seeking to learn more about how their software or information technology innovation fits into the marketplace. It can also be used by entrepreneurs evaluating Pitt technologies to scope out the competitive landscape or find out what companies are doing deals in a particular space.
For student entrepreneurs, the platform can help during the customer discovery phase to help determine what unmet needs there are that their innovation might target. Business students can also use the service for gatehring information for classes or case studies.
Administrative personnel, meanwhile, may find the platform helpful in researching software and networking systems for their departments, including student information systems, risk managements systems, or sourcing systems. It can also be used to help conduct benchmarking and metrics.
Gartner also provides a library of live webinars on-demand.
