Doug is out today, so filling in for him is Michael Domingo, editor of MCPmag.com and the voice behind Redmond Radio.
Gartner just gobbled up AMR Research for $64 million last month, then scooped up Burton Group for $56 million this week.

How much, if any, do you rely on analyst firms on your own IT planning and spending decisions? Send your analyses to [email protected].
