Alsbridge, Inc., a market leading global outsourcing advisory firm, announced today that it acquired Nautilus Advisors LLC, creators of the patented ProBenchmark™; a unique and market defining benchmark toolset. This consistent and predictive tool provides a definitive source for price data required by IT, F&A and HR benchmarking. One of its distinctive features allows online access to their benchmarking database providing current market information. Additional services include project-based analysis designed to provide custom benchmarks or satisfy third-party benchmark clauses.
The addition of ProBenchmark gives Alsbridge an entirely new R&D group focused on providing unbiased benchmarking services and competitive pricing intelligence. The ProBenchmark team will continue to work from their offices in the Washington, D.C. area further expanding Alsbridge’s North American presence.
Alsbridge Plans to Reinvent Benchmark Offerings
Alsbridge also announced plans to dramatically expand the market for benchmarking via an e-commerce initiative that will enable decision makers who currently can not afford benchmarking services to get faster access to specialized pricing expertise and data. “We believe the secure online delivery of pricing benchmarks at a radically different cost structure will disrupt the accepted norms in a market starved for new service offerings” stated Ben Trowbridge, CEO of Alsbridge.
Forrester Research estimates global purchases of IT goods, services and salaries will reach $2.4 trillion in 2008. Trowbridge estimates that 60% of this cumulative spend, or about $1.4 trillion, will be in the Small to Medium Business (SMB) market for which no benchmarking tools or services exist today. By redefining access and price through its new benchmark offerings Alsbridge will enable the SMB executive to gain access to more robust data, speed up decision making and better compete.
