AvidThink is an independent research and analysis company that focuses on technology infrastructure. We were formed in the fall of 2018 after previously operating as SDxCentral Research, part of SDxCentral.com. Our research team has been publishing reports for over a decade, covering topics such as SDN, NFV, security, IoT, 5G, edge computing, containers, and cloud.
Our Approach
AvidThink takes a unique approach to market research and analysis, exploring the “why” and “so what” of new technology approaches rather than just covering the “what.” By blending business and technology in our analysis, we provide deeper insights to business and technology leaders on the impact of new infrastructure technologies.
AvidThink collaborates with a pool of contributing analysts, each an expert in a specific domain, to ensure that our reports have credible and insightful observations. Our reports have received accolades from industry insiders who often comment on the accuracy of information and the value of the insights captured within our research reports.
Our Services
AvidThink primarily focuses on creating original reports to educate the market on specific aspects of cutting-edge infrastructure technology. We offer Research Briefs, which are five-page thematic research pieces designed to be easily-consumed by readers. Clients can pair research briefs with an Analyst Webinar hosted by the analysts for increased audience engagement.
AvidThink collaborates with Converge Digest, our media partner, on our joint resource site, NextGenInfra.io. Here, we showcase videos from industry thought leaders, and our multi-vendor industry reports are available for complimentary download.
In addition to our multi-vendor reports, clients can commission extensive, customized research reports and request custom research based on your specific requirements. AvidThink also provides advisory and consulting services to assist technology clients in your go-to-market efforts or give insights to end-users on evaluating, selecting, and deploying the latest technology infrastructure. We have many repeat customers that range from tier-1 CSPs to hyperscalers to Fortune 500 infrastructure technology vendors and rapidly growing startups. Engagements can be as short as three months and may span multiple years for ongoing consultations.
