Independent research is a key vehicle to validate the quality of a product, while providing additional visibility into a vendor's strengths.

Chartis Research is a respected firm with long-standing knowledge of the risk management technology marketplace. Chartis has consistently ranked The Avanon System highly for its "completeness of functionality", thereby validating our product strategy.

Gartner has also identified the product's core strength as a key differentiator and ranking the firm highly for market vision. In 2009 Avanon and Gartner entered into a working relationship to further enhance the strategy and market growth for the various Avanon solutions.

Avanon continues to develop its analyst relations program to leverage our strengths and raise market visibility. Firms such as Celent have also covered the Avanon System and healthy dialogue with Corporate Integrity, Forrester and the Aberdeen Group continues.
