Gartner to Buy AMR: Do Fewer Analyst Firms Matter?
IT industry analysis market leader Gartner plans to acquire AMR Research, a leader in supply chain management and business operations research. The deal reduces the number of independent analysis firms, but may generate more independent analysts pursuing different relationships with users and vendors, through emerging channels such as Focus. Do traditional analyst firms still matter, regardless of how many or few there are? To whom? Why or why not?

The problem is with analysis as a concept. Analysis is really working through real business issues based on actual data.
These "analysis" firms, are glorified survey mongers and the quality of the underlying data is highly suspect.
So who cares about another merger? It's not going to truly improve or worsen the quality of market data, the data is innaccurate from the off.
