Overview

ASG’s Analyst Tiering Service (ATS) ensures that the important task of identifying and tiering YOUR analysts is completed quickly without draining your valuable AR resources. ASG's philosophy is that AR teams should use their limited resources for strategic activities and outsource operational/time-consuming taskes. ASG focuses on your program's objectives and criteria while executing a rigorous, proven and consistent methodology. The ITW provides an interactive tool for discretely quantifying the level of influence each analyst has on purchase decisions (buyer impact) and defining/identifying market trends (market impact) based on:
  • Firm Affilication
  • Coverage Focus
  • Personal Credibility/Quality
  • Publication Volume
  • Conference Participation
  • Social Media Involvment/Exposure
  • RFP/RFQ Involvement/Exposure
  • Role-Based Influence within their firm

Weighting factors can be independently assigned to each parameter. The number of analysts included in up to three user-defined tiers can be adjusted based on YOUR program’s available resources. Further, the ITW provides tier-assignment override capability and the ability to examine analyst sub-groups based on geography, sub-markets (e.g., ERP or CRM within Enterprise Applications), or other secondary criterion.
