The Clipper Group's Research and Publications

We publish six newsletters, but only when we have something important to say to our clients and prospects. 700 reports are on this web site.

The Clipper Group Navigator^TM, first published in 1993, describes new technologies and innovative products and the business values that they bring to the enterprise. It is targeted at business readers, in general, and decision makers in the information technology community, in particular.

The Clipper Group Explorer^TM, first published in 1996, is a tutorial on a complex information technology issue from a business value perspective. The targeted readers are senior executives who are not necessarily IT experts.

The Clipper Group Observer^TM, first published in 1996, focuses on users' experiences with leading-edge technology. The goal is to present mini case studies that describe what works, and to clarify the important business values.

The Clipper Group Captain's Log^TM, created in 2001, is a quick take on a vendor or product announcement, or other relevant happening. These are short opinion pieces.

The Clipper Group Voyager^TM, begun in 2005, focuses on mid-sized and smaller organizations. The goal is to have a special bulletin for those orgainzations with smaller IT operations and budgets than found in the largest enterprises.

Clipper Notes^TM, begun in 2007, is our new bulletin for tutorials. Here you will get vendor-agnostic explanations and advice targeted at the IT buyer. Our goal is to keep these up-to-date.

Why do we freely distribute our newsletters, when other market research firms charge hefty fees for their bulletins and reports?

We want you to get to know us, to appreciate the expertise that we have in areas that may be critical to your enterprise, and, ultimately, to retain us to assist you in your information technology acquisition decisions.

We are independent consultants for hire. To discuss your specific requirements, contact Mike Kahn, Managing Director by email, or call 781-235-0085 Ext. 121 (please dial "121" when you hear the automated attendant.)

Search Clipper's Web Site

This is a new search facility; it is being refined. All recent Clipper publications have been reindexed for improved searching.

Enter the keywords of interests, such as "SAN", "architecture", "Unix", or a product name or vendor name, or a report title or publication number. (The quotation marks are not required unless you want to search on a multi-word keyword, such as "storage architecture".) All of our reports are in Adobe PDF format; adding "PDF" to your search list may limit the results to publications only.
Click the "Search www.clipper.com" radio button; otherwise you will search the entire web.
You may have to click on the last line, if Google responds that it has eliminated similar items, because you may want one of the similar bulletins on Clipper's site.

[We strongly recommend viewing PDFs with Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher. Since 2006, PDF documents have been created in a manner that should be compatible with version 6 or later. If you are having problems, try upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Reader 8, or contact the webmaster.]
