[comp.software-eng] Experience with Ovum Ltd. reports?

map@honda.siemens.com (Michael Platoff) (05/21/91)

We're considering purchasing a research report from Ovum Ltd.
entitled "Reverse Engineering: Markets Supplier and Products."
The report is fairly expensive, so I'd like to make sure it's
worth the money.  I asked Ovum for references or excerpts from a
section of the report, but they seem to have overlooked my
request.  Has anyone purchased an Ovum report?  What did you
think of it?  In particular, has anyone read the Reverse
Engineering report?

Thanks for your help.

I've only read one Ovum report (on the technical CASE market), but it
was a very good one. If they're all as good as the one I read, it would
be worth the investment.
