- ------------TALK TRACK--------- The reason why 80% of the Fortune 100 tech and companies worldwide from SMB to Enterprise, bank on TSIA insight, is because we higher the brightest, most experienced minds to drive performance benchmarks, uncover powerful correlations between data and best practices, craft proprietary frameworks, and connect them to something they have never had before...
- Over the last decade we have created the worldâs largest vault of technology services data insight and best practices. The idea here is that you have one place where you can go to find what you need to design, optimize, scale, and innovate your technology services. And because this data is fueled by the greatest community in the industry, you donât have to do it alone.
- ------------TALK TRACK--------- Since TSIAâs inception, we have⊠Published 8 books on Technology Services, including the recent release of the popular Technology-as-a-Service Playbook and bestsellers, B4B, Consumption Economics, and Complexity Avalanch. Conducted in-depth, on-site assessments of 1555 enterprise service organizations include several Fortune 100. Provided expert responses to research inquires by over 9,600 service executives Benchmarked the operational and financial performance of over 1,350 service organizatoins inside the worldâs leading product companies Overeen the industryâs largest library of 1 Million service industry benchmark data points Published trend and best practice insights from 548,000 survey data points
- Why all this effort? We want to solve problems. I have been there and our entire team of research executives have been thereâsitting where you are right now, facing serious challenges. It never gets old for us to experience the power of data insight and itâs role as a great equalizer and forcing function for positive change. We want to help you wield that data to improve your service margins, optimize your organizational structures, increase adoption and value realization, make a successful transition from on premise to the cloud, and design profitable XaaS offers when you get there. But the data will only get you so far. Thatâs why weâve worked so hard to connect you toâŠ
- Here are examples of the companies we work with. Updated 10/2016 Our legacy is in the IT industry, and we have hundreds of members in this sector. We also have focused communities in several industry sectors that we are actively growing, including Industrial equipment, Healthcare, and Cloud/SaaS.
- Thought Leadership: We take a very forward-looking view on the technology services industry and publish our perspectives and predictive guidance in books which have each achieved best seller status on Amazon in the technology category.
- TSIAâs Executive Director, Thomas Law, hosts the Technology & Services 50 webinar on a quarterly basis. It takes a look at public data of 50 of the top names in technology to help our members look at overall trends. In April the Q1 2016 version was launched and we shared the slide below around âSales Effectivenessâ. The data on this slide tells us that there is no correlation between the cost of Sales as a percentage of overall revenue (blue line) and topline revenue growth of the company (orange line). There are only a small number breaking 10% growth. It is fair to assume that shareholders, boards of directors, and executive teams will not allow the inefficiencies in the sales model to persist. Also, it wasnât just Q1 of this year, you can look back at this data in previous quarters and continue to see the non-correlation.
- TSIA Strategic Service is a deeper level of membership that can dramatically increase the effectiveness of your organization in a short period of time. We offer three distinct services beyond your standard membership with virtual and onsite delivery by our research executives. As a member youâll have access to engage beyond standard services with TSIA industry experts and thought leaders that deliver compelling Speaking Engagements and powerful Workshops, aligning leadership with board ready industry insight, addressing the urgent issues of today, and helping to craft a winning strategy for tomorrow. You can also run Sprints to identify gaps and current adoption levels of company practices with Assessment that will help you define and prioritized the initiatives necessary to close those gaps. Run Outcome Sprints with TSIA research executives that apply proven frameworks to overcome specific business challenges and accelerate transformation.
