Many vendors think that Industry Analysts can be bought.
According to Bill Hopkins from KCG-the Knowledge Capital Group who are an Analyst Relations Consultancy Firm, “While there is truth to the view that you can buy the opinions of many sell-side analysts (and maybe some Point Players on the buy-side), it’s absolutely not true when it comes to Deal Makers and Breakers (Forrester and Gartner).”
