SOFTWARE BUSINESS QUARTERLY

Software Business Quarterly [SBQ] delivers comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analyses of leading software vendors. With its syndicated and consulting components, SBQ delivers outstanding value whether you compete, partner, supply, invest, or buy from the software vendors analyzed.

The SBQ service covers the following twelve companies on a quarterly basis:

	BEA Systems		BMC Software		CA
	EMC Corp.		Hewlett-Packard Software		IBM Software
	Microsoft Corp.		Oracle Corp.		Salesforce.com (starting 2Q08)
	SAP		Symantec		VMware

Following TBR’s proven analytical paradigm, SBQ looks at 10 leading software vendors participating in critical software segments, including ERP systems, CRM, SCM, SRM and BI applications, middleware, storage, database, management tools, and client and server operating systems.

SBQ quarterly reports incorporate detailed analytical discussions of industry trends, competitive events, and vendor actions as they relate to the quarterly performance of each company covered. Revenue, operating expense, and other highly granular financial models are the foundation of our analyses. Our ability to identify companies' strengths and weaknesses, potential risks, and windows of opportunity through a "business intelligence lens" provides our clients with critical metrics for developing competitive and overall business action plans. These reports, coupled with interaction with our analysts, deliver fundamental assessments of these companies, helping you evaluate the competitive landscape, identify and measure key partners, and further hone business models and go-to-market strategies.

The SBQ service also provides a comparative SBQ Quarterly Benchmark Report, summarizing all pertinent metrics and Technology Business Research positions for the companies tracked during the quarter. This quarterly report shows how these companies compare and compete with one another, and positions them in the overall market. The SBQ Quarterly Benchmark Report expands on the core 10 covered companies to include detailed metrics on an additional 14 companies.
