2006 Eclipse Market Research Program
|
Title: 2006 Eclipse Market Research
Program
In early 2005 the Eclipse Foundation
and a number of members commissioned Evans Data Corp. to do what
turned out to be a very successful market research project. The
research provided a tremendous base of information for all the
participating companies and I can tell you without hesitation that
here at Instantiations we feel we got our money's worth and
more.
We're now putting together the 2006
version of the study and I've agreed to chair the project working
group. As a first step, we'd like to assess your interest in
subscribing to the 2006 study and/or participating in the working
group that makes it happen. The 2006 study will give us new
information and let us begin to extend trend information off the 2005
data.
The initial research goals (subject
to review by the 2006 working group) are the same as last
year:
Improved
understanding of:
a) the market for
commercial Eclipse-based offerings
b) the wants, needs
and perceptions of two populations:
(1) those current
using Eclipse or Eclipse-based products;
(2) those not
currently using, but aware of Eclipse or Eclipse-based
offerings
c) penetration of
Eclipse (supplemental)
The cost of the
study last year was based on the size of the subscriber company and
ranged from $1500 to $10,000. I would expect the cost to be similar
this year, but it is somewhat dependent on the number of member
companies that subscribe.
It would be great if
your company could participate in the study and the working group. If
you're interested, please reply to this message. I'd like to put
together a first meeting of the working group in the next week or so.
If you're not interested, please forward this message to your
Marketing Department...they will be! ;-)
Thanks,
Mike
