Over the past 12 months, rhipe has engaged with Tech Research Asia to bring this expertise. The TRA team has been very knowledgeable, skilful and professional, advising and counselling the rhipe Executive Team on potential strategic initiatives and challenges. I would highly recommend TRA to any technology company looking to build out their growth strategy in APAC."

    Ben Johnson, General Manager Marketing & Strategy, Dicker Data

    "Mark and the team at Tech Research Asia are second to none when it comes to conducting and presenting evidence-based research. Their ability to derive actionable insights that resonate with their target audience has seen them become our go-to partner in their field. Mark's on-stage presence has captivated audiences at many of our events and his thought-provoking, data-driven discussions that challenge traditional thinking have been met with overwhelmingly positive feedback."

    Rob Evans, Partner Marketing Director, Microsoft

    "I have worked with TRA on a number of projects, and, based on the great outcomes of those projects, I have recommended TRA to my Microsoft colleagues. TRA has subsequently completed several additional initiatives and delighted said colleagues. As a result, Microsoft has based campaign and general strategies on TRAs recommendations and insights. TRA’s Team are highly experienced in all facets of the IT industry and can support strongly successful business outcomes. As a boutique agency, TRA is flexible and cost effective and does not suffer from either bureaucratic process or rigidity which makes working with them a pleasure. They have my wholehearted endorsement."

    James Henderson, Editorial Director of Asia Pacific and Middle East, IDG Communications

    "TRA is a standout research partner for Channel Asia across Asia, demonstrating unrivalled knowledge of the local market and a sharp understanding of both customer (end-user) and partner (channel) priorities. This joint expertise is rare for any analyst firm and demonstrates a vast array of specialisation from all aspects of the technology spectrum, whether the ecosystem approach of vendors, distributors and channel partners or the future investment plans of end-users – or both.
    TRA is a also master at going beyond surface-level insights to provide crucial in-depth context when presenting data and advising the market – recognising that general commentary stating the obvious is no longer a credible source of information. Knowledge spans the entire technology stack – from hardware to cloud – and is shaped by the delivery of pragmatic guidance and realistic advice with analysts aware of the day-to-day realities of the market. TRA is a one-of-a-kind research firm backed with a credible, strategic and collaborative approach to partnering... an important voice of authority in a crowded market."

    Carlos Gouveia, General Manager Vic/Tas, Data #3

    "The last two years have brought on great uncertainty. Checking our assumptions and getting insights on where the market was moving was vital to our planning. Mark and the team from Tech Research Asia provided us with unbiased research insights that helped shape our region strategy and focus. Mark’s presentation to our team on these insights elevated their confidence with thought provoking observations and a very engaging style. TRA is a key input into our ever adapting strategy.”

Their knowledge and “easy to deal with “ attitude is second to none. Their team is specialised in the right areas of IT Industry current and future initiatives and the ecosystems that impact customer’s business outcomes. TRA are a very valuable partner to Datacom."
