Sector Pulse
Syndicated Research, Reports and Analyses to Help Grow your Business and Mitigate Risk
This series is where analysts publish their research and share their latest understanding of market conditions affecting sustainability, the ITAD sector, compliance, data security, product design and much more.
Sector Pulse Syndicated Research has two components:
1- The first is a set of analyst reports that address a specific topic relevant to the sector and your company growth and compliance. These are in-depth analyses that could benefit your company’s strategic positioning, competitive analysis, marketing/sales, technology adoption, etc. We produce between two to five reports per month, and in busy months, the document count may increase. Here is a sample.
2- IntelliTAD is a weekly report that looks at the latest from the sector and from adjacent industries that have a direct or indirect impact on the sector’s performance. We track and report on industry news, technology developments, economic events, corporate earnings, AI and sustainability movements, etc. While we work hard to produce IntelliTAD on the weekly basis, sometime we pause when industry events are on pause, such as during holidays. Here are two samples: Sample 1. Sample 2.
Our purpose is to help industry executives stay abreast of issues affecting their business. A quarterly Zoom conference call is also held for subscribing clients. Topics include industry developments, economic trends, general IT sector developments and much more.
Analysts will also share proprietary data when it is appropriate within a publish document. Data comes from CS’ primary research, and/or from open source secondary research.
