Drexel University has purchased a license to Burton Group’s IT Research Reports. These are tactically focused to keep IT managers ahead of the curve on new tech and marketplace developments. Used by Drexel’s IRT, Burton Group reports are part of a proprietary knowledgebase built on their research and real-world experience from hundreds of global enterprise consulting engagements. Their reports ranging from 25-50 pages with loads of practical advice – much more in-depth and technical than Gartner or Forrester reports with which you may be familiar.
BurtonGroup’s content is based on something they call “Reference Architecture” that describes the underlying principles of a particular technology. Then they supplement the core document annually with more formulaic “if-then” logic pieces to help an IT manager make planning decisions that are up to date with technology and marketplace developments. You can read more about it (here).
Due to publisher restrictions, only full-time Drexel Faculty and Staff may sign up to view BurtonGroup content directly HERE.
Students and adjunct faculty may view the index of content on their website (see links below) and request full-text of individual reports through Tim Siftar, the IST Librarian.
