Our advisory services for product managers
BARC will help you to understand where markets are heading
BARC can draw from a unique combination of resources to understand market trends: We engage with hundreds of vendors and users each year, working with them on their specific needs and challenges, understanding changes in buying behavior along the way. Every six months, we distill the key trends and segment them in several categories to understand changes and get a better grasp of which topics relate to others and how. Additionally, the BARC Trend Monitor takes a completely different approach: Every year we ask >2500 data & analytics practitioners to give their personal assessment of the importance of trends for their work. This adds another interesting perspective on the question of which product capabilities are important to win deals in the future.
You will learn:
- Which events and market changes are relevant or await us in the future?
- What are the current customer trends and requirements from the point of view of BARC analysts and practitioners themselves?
