"It's a real privilege to be a part of Constellation Research and to join some of the most brilliant and insightful people in the technology industry. To be an industry analyst requires not only research and advisory skills, it takes energy and devotion; it is a craft that is learned, not assigned. Constellation is a different kind of firm and our work products will be innovative, useful and even a little disruptive at times. At Constellation, we can challenge the conventional wisdom and be trusted advisors to our clients. I'm looking forward to it.", said Neil Raden
"Neil's expertise in transforming data into information and then automating decision management is highly coveted by our clients.  His research topics liberate clients faced with data deluge and a patchwork of broken solutions in business intelligence and decision management.  With the convergence of social, mobile, and cloud in the enterprise, we'll need more analysts like Neil over the next three years", stated R "Ray" Wang, Principal anslyst and CEO.
