Gartner is a leading research and advisory company on trends in the Information Technology industry. They provide sector-specific research findings that, as an example, allow Hennepin County to benchmark its performance against other comparable government entities. Gartner research findings have been, and continue to be, frequently referenced as part of preparing the business case justification for technology projects and strategic direction statements. This amendment will provide additional licensing for staff to access the Gartner for IT Leaders program. This program provides mid to high level information on a wide range of topics that are relevant to the technology of today, as well as insightful information on future trends.
