QUICK STRAW POLL: What is the right way for that information to be gathered and presented?
a. There is no bias. Companies can and should present research that may favor them, as long as they cite good sources.
b. An industry analyst, paid to research multiple companies and options and present that information to their respective (most likely paying) customers.
c. A journalist, presenting research in public, funded by advertising for unrelated interests.
d. Reporting by peers/actual users of the system on how the products compare, and possibly about how it aligns with their technical and business goals.
e. Trust no one. Conduct your own research, and publish it if you see fit to so do, or keep it to yourself.
I see potential "disinformation vulnerability" with each approach. How ought we get the best info on how to align our organizations with technologies?
