Our Vendor Services

Historically, Elearnity has maintained strong relationships with many of the leading learning technology vendors in support of its corporate client focus in Europe. But this activity has always been constrained by both corporate need and our bandwidth to work proactively with vendors.  As a result, Elearnity’s primary research outputs have also been focused on supporting corporate clients through private analyst or advisory work, rather than the vendor community itself.  

A New Vendor Approach

Whilst understanding and influencing corporate thinking will always be our core focus, we believe we could better serve the UK/European market as a whole by also building stronger and more structured relationships with the vendor community as well. We are therefore introducing a structured research process specifically targeted at the vendor community, which aims to:

• Strengthen analysis of the UK/European learning and talent technology market and key trends
  
  
• Formalise our interface and information flow to and from vendors
  
  
• Increase the amount of analyst time available to better understand real USPs and capabilities
  
  
• Provide a foundation for private analysis and advice to vendors on competition, strategy, and corporate needs

Our “Three Layer” Vendor Programme

To that end, our vendor programme will contain three core layers of operation.

Level 1 - Core Research - Elearnity will always conduct a basic level of background research on the vendor marketplace at no cost to the vendor community. This is the minimum basis of our “Perspectives Reports” and our private advice to corporates. Core Research is focused on analysis of vendor performance via our corporate research process, together with informal background briefing and discussions with the vendors themselves.

Level 2 – Full Briefing - We also want to be able to proactively engage with vendors at a deeper level on an ongoing basis, both to gain greater understanding of capabilities and USPs, but also to provide vendors with market support information that can be used in their own client positioning.  

Level 3 – Private Research/Advisory – Whilst we don’t publicise it, Elearnity is frequently asked to provide custom research or advisory projects for the vendor community. Under strict confidentiality, these projects leverage Elearnity’s independence and deep market insights to address specific issues of importance to the vendor, including organisational and business strategy, product strategy and competitive positioning.

If you would like to explore how our Vendor Services in more detail, please contact us.

The Full Vendor Briefing programme enables vendors to have a regular dialogue with Elearnity to strengthen our insights and share our perspectives.
