Research Classification

Understanding how our reports are classified can assist you to more specifically target the type of research you are seeking.

All of our research has been categorised using 3 classes of attribute:

  • Location – Identifies whether a report covers a specific country, a region or whether it provides a global view;
  • Topic/Technology – Identifies what topics and technologies a report covers, a reports’ topics and technologies are listed in the report profile displayed on the right hand side of a reports details page;
  • Report Type – each report will generally be an Annual Publication or a Focus Report. Annual publications are compiled from relevant Focus Reports to provide full coverage of our research on the country, region and/or topic.

Important sub-types of report types include Country Profiles, Company Profiles, Regional Overviews and Global Overviews. This classification assists orderly and consistent display of research on our site to assist browsing and report selection.

Searching

The Quick Search box is presented on the majority of site pages and provides a convenient method to search for relevant content. It will search research titles, published summaries and the table of contents.

Advanced Report Search is accessible from the advanced search link under the Quick Search box, the advanced search will allow the specification of other parameters to refine your search.

Searching for historic or archived information ? If you are looking for historic information click the ‘Search archived research’ link displayed at the top of your results page to display all relevant results from our extensive archives.

Browsing

The View Reports by: section on the left hand side of the majority of site pages allows you quickly target the research you are looking for.

The links to Regional, Country and Global research will each allow you to then select region, country or topic to provide you a more specific list of research reports that may suit your requirements.

The Custom Research link provides an overview to our approach to custom made research reports, with a number of examples of past reports produced. The modular nature of our research means we can create reports containing the research you need.

Click on any report title to view more details for the report including a summary, table of contents, pricing and report update information.

By default all browsing will result in only current research reports being displayed containing the latest data we have available. If however, you are looking for historic information, click on the ‘View archived research’ link displayed at the top of all report list pages to see any appropriate archive reports we may have.

Purchasing Problems

Downloading Problems

Third Party Download managers do not generally work on this site. This is generally because they attempt to download the file in multiple download sessions, but our site restricts this approach. Please do not use a 3rd party download manager when downloading purchased reports from our site.

Most Third Party Download Managers will provide some option to bypass the Download Manager and to just use your browsers standard download manager.

If you experience any downloading problems, please contact us for assistance.

Opening Downloaded Research

All research downloaded or delivered to your email account will be contained within a ZIP file.

Most modern computer operating systems include built-in decompression software. to extract the contents of a zip file, simply save it to your computer and double click on the Zip file once downloaded. When presented with options, choose 'Extract' to extract a copy of the Zip file contents to your computer.

Our reports are provided in PDF format, you will need a PDF reader to open these documents. Acrobat Reader is free (when downloading make sure to untick any included 'special offers' from Adobe unless yo really want them).

If your operating system can not automatically decompress our Zip files, you can download a free or commercial product to do this. 7 Zip is an excellent free utility to decompress Zip and other compressed files.

BuddeComm and iOS

We have successfully tested our site's browsing, search and purchasing processes using Apple iPads running iOS 4.2.1 and 5.0, with the only additional requirement being the installation of an App which can access ZIP files as report downloads from our site will be zipped.

The App we installed to access the ZIP file was Filer Lite which is free on the Apple App Store, a non-restricted version of this app is also available. There are many other apps available which can do the same job such as Google Reader, etc.

The purchasing, downloading and file opening processes were seamless as Apple users have come to expect.

Purchase with Confidence

We wanted to extend our Com World Series of telecoms industry events to the South Pacific region and we were in urgent need of a partner in the region who could assist us with confirming the involvement of governments, telcos and more. Paul Budde and his team executed this perfectly. Paul also provided us with very high quality reports on every aspect of the project, including an amazingly thorough and actionable report on the conference presentations and discussion.
