Research Methods

Everest Group conducts research using various methods, including, without limitation, information and document requests (e.g. Requests for Information (RFIs)), projects, briefings, inquiries, surveys, interviews, recorded calls and transcriptions, expert discussions, public research, and so forth.

Information Collection

Broadly speaking, we collect input from you (e.g. information and data) on categories such as performance, revenue, growth, clientele, client type, investments, partnerships, acquisitions, talent and people, deliverables and contract data, business traits, spend, locations, financials, and other business-related information.

Research Output

Our research output includes, without limitation, reports, online content, webinars, briefings, sessions, conference materials, and more, both public and non-public. When collecting information and data, we typically indicate when data or information you provide will be made public. Additionally, in our reports, we often (but not always) present data as ranges, aggregations, or in anonymized form, in both the quantitative and qualitative context. For instance, instead of saying Party A pays a certain amount for a certain service, and Party B pays a different amount, we might say parties in this area tend to pay between X and Z, with a Y median, for this service.
