CIR’s forecasts offer the rigor required by today’s  AI and networking firms.  Our analysis takes into consideration diverse factors such as data center and data rate growth, applications development, network technology,  developments in the semiconductor industry, new kinds of software and algorithms, etc.  We also examine financial results, economic statistics, technology adoption patterns and pricing trends.

Comprehensive custom consulting

We welcome the opportunity to quote for providing market analysis, forecasts, corporate profiles, where our reports do not provide the coverage required by a client.  Whether the work is for internal planning, for due diligence before an acquisition or to support marketing of new products, CIR has the capabilities to provide qualitative and quantitative guidance to clients.  We also welcome long-assignments and retainer arrangements.
