Integrity Policy (summarized), 21.2.04
Forrester Research, Inc.
Integrity Policy
Forrester is an independent research firm that produces objective, high-quality analysis of technology markets. Research integrity is one of the core values of our company and our brand. Forrester employees may not engage in activities that will compromise -- or appear to compromise -- the integrity of our research.
Forrester's integrity policy, research methodologies, and corporate culture guide our employees in the course of developing and disseminating our research products and services.
Forrester's business success depends on the independence and objectivity of our research. We embody this by:
- Taking a stand. Our independence allows us to produce research and offer advice that express clear opinions. Forrester's research agendas, judgments, and conclusions are solely under our control. Client companies cannot purchase research coverage or favorable opinions.
- Employing structured methodologies. Our WholeView™ Research employs structured methodologies that enable us to identify and analyze technology trends, markets, and audiences and ensure consistent research quality and recommendations across markets, technologies, and geographies.
- Keeping our independence. Forrester's internal policies create an environment where clients and vendors cannot wield undue influence on our research topics and judgments. For example, our policies prohibit our employees from accepting reimbursements from vendors, joining company boards, or endorsing any vendor's strategy or products. In addition, consulting work that is done for our vendor clients that compares companies or products is client-confidential and can never be used as part of any marketing collateral or marketing campaign.
Forrester is accountable for publishing fair and accurate research. If we make a factual mistake, we will provide a fair hearing and will correct material errors quickly. Forrester's Citation Policy provides guidelines for authorized use of Forrester's research. [See bleow]

"We shall need compromises in the days ahead, to be sure. But these will be, or should be, compromises of issues, not
principles. We can compromise our political positions, but not ourselves. We can resolve the clash of interests without
conceding our ideals. And even the necessity for the right kind of compromise does not eliminate the need for those
idealists and reformers who keep our compromises moving ahead, who prevent all political situations from meeting the
description supplied by Shaw: "smirched with compromise, rotted with opportunism, mildewed by expedience, stretched out
of shape with wirepulling and putrefied with permeation.
Compromise need not mean cowardice. .."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy, "Profiles in Courage"
