Price changes based on the number of licenses needed and the variety of features the customer will use. This model allows for developing a tailor-made price point that best fits customers’ needs.
The company developed the first AI-based account planning tool and empowers organizations worldwide to leverage data intelligence with confidence for exponential growth.
Gartner is a leader in business research, creating market guides geared toward helping its clients and other businesses make more informed decisions.
