Denis Pombriant, Founder and managing principal, Beagle Research Group, LLC
Researcher, analyst, columnist and blogger, Denis Pombriant has been providing innovative thought leadership to the CRM and on-demand markets since 2000. First as a vice president and practice leader at Aberdeen Group and, since 2004, as founder and managing principal of Beagle Research Group, LLC, Pombriant has provided unique insight into the rapid evolution of the on-demand and CRM markets.
Pombriant was one of the first analysts to dedicate a practice to on-demand computing and the first, in 2003, to identify the tipping point in on-demand popularity when a majority of prospective CRM buyers said they would investigate a subscription over a license for their CRM deployments. His research topics have included on-demand solutions in sales, marketing and the call center as well as on-demand development platforms. He is especially drawn to the changing economics of computing caused by the on-demand phenomenon and its effect on technology innovation in the developing world.
Pombriant contributes widely to a variety of industry publications in both print and on-line modes, he has lectured in the U.S. and Europe on the subject of on-demand computing and he has advised dozens of companies on the practicalities and economics of this new style of computing. He lives in the Boston area and continues a robust research practice through his company, Beagle Research Group, LLC. |
