Forrester joins the feeding frenzy, buys Springboard
In a terse press release issued today, Forrester (@Forrester, twitter list) announced it was buying Springboard Research (@SpringboardRes, twitter list), ending months of speculations and rumours.
The rationale for purchasing the 48-strong firm based in Singapore is geographic complementarity, allowing the Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA) based #3 IT analysis firm to pick-up speed in a geography where it has never been very strong. IDC is still the king of the hill there, and in this respect it’s interesting that Springboard sells market sizing too.
