neXt Curve and Transforma Insights: Two leaders in technology research and analysis working together

neXt Curve and Transforma Insights, two leading technology research firms, announce strategic partnership to offer Essential Validated Insights to senior management teams, drawing on both companies’ formidable respective strengths.

The strategic partnership combines the strengths and experience of three seasoned analysts who now own and run world-leading technology advisory firms Transforma Insights and neXt Curve.

The world of enterprise digital transformation is a complicated place and the Essential Validated Insights provided by the new partnership will help business and technology leaders to avoid costly mistakes as part of an enterprise digital transformation journey and to be overall better informed about the latest developments in technology, regulations, and best practices. Together neXt Curve and Transforma Insights will provide an objective, independent, outside-in perspective to challenge and support senior management teams across both end-user and vendor communities.

The collaboration will provide enterprises with access to neXt Curve's established 'high-touch' advisory services, alongside Transforma Insights world-leading subscription research proposition.

Commenting on the announcement, Matt Hatton, Founding Partner at Transforma Insights, said “We are very excited to announce this partnership, predicated on providing Essential Validated Insights to organisations engaged in enterprise digital transformation. The combined strengths of the two organisations will, I am sure, be world-beating”.

Leonard Lee, Executive Analyst and Founder of neXt Curve, added “With Transforma Insights, Matt and Jim have established another great brand in the world of digital transformation, following their successes with Machina Research. Our partnership is a truly astonishing fit. I look forward to applying Transforma Insights’ world-leading research to inform and underpin the insights that neXt Curve provides for our clients”.

Jim Morrish, Founding Partner at Transforma Insights, commented “It’s clear that there are significant synergies between Transforma Insights and neXt Curve, not least our respective geographic strengths and complementary value propositions. We look forward to a fruitful partnership, extending over many years.”
