What Some Senior IT Executives Have Said...

About Annex Research and Djurdjevic

Dr. Gene Amdahl

"I have always admired Bob (Djurdjevic). The amount of insight he shows is remarkable and very detailed. He comments about the industry without being improperly cynical of IBM. Some others tend to accept wholeheartedly IBM's view. Bob has very detailed knowledge about IBM's motivations and, therefore, explores avenues that others overlook." 

Bob Stephenson, Senior Vice President, IBM

"I appreciate the kind words you wrote in your recent Annex Bulletin." Regarding your analysis of global affairs - 'Taming the Russian Bear': Fascinating! - RM Stephenson."


Jim Cannavino, Former Chief Operating Officer,
Perot Systems; Former Senior Vice President, IBM

"Regarding ANNEX BULLETIN (re. Microsoft), your insights are refreshing as usual."

An IBM executive who did not want to be named, but has agreed to let us use the following quote:

"Annex Research is BY FAR THE MOST RESPONSIVE of all industry consultants. It is unique among five or six industry services I receive. It is INTERESTING reading; it is SHORT; it is to the POINT. Yet it provides all of the BACKGROUND information... so even if I DISAGREE with a particular point of view, I can always explain WHY. No other services provide that."
