Timely Insight and Advice for Companies Seeking to Capitalize on the On-Demand Services Movement


Who We Are

THINKstrategies is a strategic consulting company, founded in 2001, to help clients capitalize on the migration of the technology industry from a product-centric to a services-driven business model.

THINKstrategies is the only consulting firm dedicated to helping enterprises make better sourcing decisions, IT solution providers make better marketing decisions, and venture investors make better investment decisions to take full advantage of the business benefits of today's on-demand services, including Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), cloud computing and managed services.

THINKstrategies
is also the founder of the Software-as-a-Service and Managed Services Showplaces, the largest vendor-independent directories of on-demand companies and resources.

What We THINK

THINKstrategies believes the migration of the technology industry from products to services represents a fundamental transformation which requires IT/business decision-makers within organizations to re-THINK their sourcing strategies, IT solutions providers re-THINK their go-to-market strategies, and technology investors re-THINK their portfolio strategies.
