The dataset, not a report about it. - Canonical: https://trial.futurumgroup.com/products/intelligence-platform/ - Published: 2026-09-09 Futurum Intelligence Platform Market models, five-year forecasts and decision-maker survey data across eleven practice areas — the whole dataset, not a report about it. In one sentence The Futurum Intelligence Platform is a subscription research platform that gives an entire team direct access to Futurum’s market models, five-year forecasts and decision-maker survey data across eleven practice areas — filterable, chartable and exportable, rather than summarised for them in a static report. The short version Type: Subscription · self-serve seats, unlimited across the account Coverage: Eleven practice areas, two datasets in each Datasets: Market IQ — sizing, segmentation, five-year forecasts. Decision Maker IQ — vendors in place, planned changes, spend, decision criteria Sources: Futurum primary research, ETR’s panel of more than 10,000 technology leaders, an exclusive G2 partnership for verified buyer reviews Where it runs: app.futurumgroup.com Typically read by: Vendor strategy, product and competitive-intelligence teams; enterprise buyers; investors Not a report about the data. The data. The Futurum Intelligence Platform is where the research lives before anyone writes it up. Market models and five-year forecasts, decision-maker survey data, and analyst synthesis across eleven practice areas — filterable, chartable and exportable by anyone on the account. There is no custom data-request queue, because there is no gate. A seat sees the dataset. The consequence is that the analyst conversation starts somewhere useful: the client has already found the cut they want to argue about. Every practice area carries both halves A market model tells you how big something is and where it is going. A decision-maker study tells you what the people buying in it are actually doing. Most firms sell one or the other. The platform carries both for every area, which is what makes a forecast argue with a survey rather than sit beside it. Market IQ and Decision Maker IQ Market IQ is the sizing side: segmentation and five-year forecasts for the category, built to be filtered rather than read. Decision Maker IQ is the buyer side: which vendors are in place, what is planned to change, what is being spent, and the criteria the decision is actually made on. Built for people who will argue with the number. Drill-down matters more than it sounds. A figure you cannot decompose is a figure you cannot defend in front of a CFO, and every number in the platform decomposes. Three teams, three different Monday mornings Vendor strategy & product. You are building a three-year plan and the only market number you have came from a vendor deck or a press release. They take the market model and the forecast, then use Decision Maker IQ to check whether buyers agree with the plan. Enterprise buyers & CIOs. Three vendors have shown you three different market-leader charts, all of which they commissioned. They take the vendor share and the ranked decision criteria, and find out what peers with their profile actually chose. Investors. A thesis rests on a segment growing, and the only evidence is management guidance. They take the five-year forecast and the planned-vendor-change data, which moves before revenue does. Frequently asked What is the Futurum Intelligence Platform? It is The Futurum Group’s subscription research platform. It gives client teams direct, self-serve access to Futurum’s underlying market and buyer data across eleven technology practice areas — market sizing and segmentation, five-year forecasts, and decision-maker survey results — through an interface that filters, charts, drills down and exports, rather than through published reports alone. What data is in it? Two datasets for each practice area. Market IQ holds the market model and segmentation, market size and five-year forecast, revenue and units by region, product types, deployment type and vertical markets. Decision Maker IQ holds what buyers currently run, their primary and secondary vendors, planned vendor changes, current and projected spend, and their ranked decision criteria. Underneath both sit Futurum’s own primary research, ETR’s panel of more than 10,000 technology leaders with fifteen years of longitudinal spending data, and an exclusive G2 partnership for verified buyer reviews and intent. How often does the data update? Continuously rather than annually. Market models are revised on the practice area’s publishing cadence and decision-maker studies are re-fielded through the year, so a dashboard reflects the most recent wave rather than a fixed edition. Reports built on top of the data are dated so a reader can see the vintage of any figure. Can I export the data, or is it locked to the interface? All data is exportable, and every element drills down to its components. This is deliberate: a figure a client cannot decompose is a figure they cannot defend internally, so the platform is built to be taken apart rather than screenshotted. How is this different from subscribing to research reports? A report subscription gives an analyst’s conclusions. The platform gives the evidence those conclusions were drawn from, plus the analyst. Clients can cut the data to a segment, region or persona nobody has published on, which is usually the cut that matters to them, and there is no custom-data-request queue in between. Which practice areas are covered? AI Platforms; Cloud & Infrastructure; Cybersecurity & Resilience; Data Intelligence, Analytics & Infrastructure; Enterprise Software & Digital Workflows; Semiconductors, Supply Chain & Emerging Tech; Networking; Intelligent Devices; Software Lifecycle Engineering; Ecosystems, Channels & Marketplaces; and CIO & Technology Buyers.
