Is it possible that Gartner released the incorrect version? Surely the QC or QM process within Gartner should have picked up such glaring irregularites in a report most corporates take as 'Dinkum Proof' or a being written by a God. It has long been thought that Gartner may bias their Magic Quadrants on potential sales to a customer/vendor similar to the bonds that lead to the financial crisis. What this does prove is that the or all Gartner Reports should be tested with a 'common sense' approach to alternative research to confirm findings. However as a consultant, alternative research is not done by corporates.
Is there a manner or means to get garner to withdraw the report and publish an Erratum?
