My research papers

Peter Wesche August 1, 2012

The following papers were published by me as sole or co-author during my 8 year tenure with Gartner. Most of them are no longer accessible via Gartner but still contain valid advice and assessments. The selection represent samples for personal review. For productive use, I recommend you use the Gartner knowledge base www. gartner.com to check out if they are still available via regular procurement under existing copyright.
