Hey look - there's a blog dedicated to keeping an eye on my favorite analysts, Gartner - GartnerWatch. Now when I miss one of their regular bouts with inanity, you won't have to - just subscribe to the feed. Just look at what's being reported now:
Gartner has started quietly hinting to customers that prices are going up. At minimum they will increase the per day cost to consult with an analyst anywhere from 50%-100%. The daily rate now is $10,000-$20,000, so that could mean a per day cost of $40,000.
You too can get bad advice from overpaid quacks. Open your wallet and enjoy it...
