B2B Research
Most Popular Research Articles
Intent Data
Intent Data Providers For B2B
Non-English intent signal is still under twenty percent of total volume industrywide, which means most platforms are seeing a fraction of the buying activity happening outside English language markets.
Knowledge Management
Knowledge Management Solutions
One vendor is explicitly competing on restraint, arguing that a plausible AI generated article that is subtly wrong is worse for a knowledge base than no article at all.
MDR
Managed Detection And Response Services
Forrester's own buyer guidance undercuts the AI pitch: providers are getting measurably more efficient, and there is little evidence yet that any of that efficiency is reaching customer pricing.
MDR Europe
Managed Detection And Response Services In Europe
Forrester's guidance to buyers is blunt: having a data centre in the EU answers one sovereignty question out of four, and most vendor pitches stop at the first.
Manufacturing Tech
Manufacturing Technology Services
Forrester frames 2026's binding constraint as a workforce that cannot be trained fast enough, which makes this a services category built around people more than platforms.
Market Intelligence
Market And Competitive Intelligence Platforms
Generative AI should have commoditized this category, and instead Forrester's criteria count kept climbing, because the moat was always licensed source access, not summarization.
Open Banking
Open Banking Intermediaries
Two of the category's most prominent independent players are now owned by the card networks they were supposed to route around.
Change Management
Organizational Change Management Services
Forrester's provider count nearly doubled in three years, and every other technology category in this series points at the same root cause: the software works and the organisation does not change.
PLM
Product Lifecycle Management Platforms For Discrete Manufacturers
Every reference customer for one vendor said they would buy again, which in PLM can mean genuine excellence or a customer base that has nowhere else to go once the evidence chain is built.
