Crisp Research – The Cloudflight Brand for the hottest research in the market

We at Cloudflight are curious about new trends, technologies and services for digital innovations! With Crisp Research, we already have a strong and seasoned reputation for independent technology and market research. Moving into a strong new corporate brand of Cloudflight, this research is even more visible as part of the emerging Cloudflight group. While Crisp Research will remain the content brand for our independent research and our future publications, our advisory expertise in our customer-driven projects is merging into the Cloudflight consulting portfolio. An original strength of Crisp Research has been deep technology expertise delivered by the same people in research publications and individual advisory services. We will continue this tradition by making the Crisp Research analysts available across all Cloudflight projects. In the same way, the new Crisp Research content brand provides a generally available publishing format for many experienced architects and computer scientists across the growing Cloudflight group.

We are looking back to numerous publications with Crisp Research, including short analyst views up to empirical studies, which found their way to our all new research space on www.cloudflight.io and will get their very own overview page soon. As research will remain a crucial part of our work and passion and also the groundwork for our advisory and expertise, we’d like to give a short overview, what you can expect on a regular basis by Cloudflight, created and valuably labeled by Crisp Research.

The way to discover which digital use cases and business models promise the most for your company and which technologies serve their needs best is already a demanding task. Choosing the right provider of technologies makes it even more challenging. For this reason we created a whole new format called “Crisp Short List”. This format will focus on a certain, tangible challenge and propose relevant technologies available in the DACH market.
