Testimonials
Our members love working with us. Here are some of their stories.
"For over a decade, Howard and his team have been my 'Business Intelligence Sherpas'. As Business Intelligence evolves along a non-linear trajectory, the importance of having a knowledgeable ally cannot be overstated. Our partnership with Dresner Advisory Services has proved indispensable, providing strategic insights into the ever-changing market dynamics, guiding our selection of technology tools that align with our objectives, and ensuring the successful implementation of our BI initiatives. Participating in the Data Leaders community affords me valuable interaction time with both my peers and the Dresner team. This engagement grants additional perspectives on how others are navigating their organizational BI needs. I gain firsthand accounts of challenges faced, the strategies devised to overcome them, and insight into their plans for future BI initiatives. "
"As a member of Dresner’s Data Leader program, I’m much more confident in my decisions and have a greater awareness of major factors impacting my practice. Major value comes from being able to review the research and then have dialogue on the topics with Dresner analysts and Data Leaders peers both live in regular meetings and via the Data Leaders chat board. I’ve ingrained the research so deeply into management of my practice that I struggle to imagine not having it. It’s routine for me to now review each new research piece and use it to benchmark my organization and identify if we need to dig deeper on a topic. I absolutely recommend Dresner’s services. The quality, timeliness, and actionability of their research is second to none. Their highly experienced analysts are both approachable and easy to work with in an advisory capacity."

"When our team first embarked on its AR journey, we were seeking a long term partnership with a firm that can work with us as we continue to grow, advance, and evolve. Dresner Advisory already had a strong reputation as a firm focused on business intelligence and data analytics, but what drew us to the firm was their portfolio of analysts who had years of deeply relevant experience and commitment to their craft of advising clients. Under Howard's leadership, the analysts are committed to helping us solve our challenges, whether these are technical, messaging-focused, or roadmap concerns. Under Dresner Advisory's guidance in the last four years, we have matured in our ability to build features, strategy, and messaging that are more meaningful to our prospects, as well as significantly grow our BI business.
