Netpad analysis
From Canalys’ unrivalled coverage of IT channels, we offer the most extensive, cost-effective global PC market analysis. Canalys was the first analyst firm to incorporate netbooks and pads into its PC market tracking, which also includes traditional notebooks and desktops, as well as their routes to market. For hardware and software vendors, as well as service providers, our service delivers overall volume forecasts and market shares, through both established and emerging channels.
To support our customers’ strategic planning, Canalys also monitors the changing relationships between operators and vendors, and the products and tariffs being offered, with our regular deal watch alerts. We do not release preliminary, incomplete data and use standard definitions and methodologies to ensure consistency across all of the market data that appears in this service. We simultaneously publish final market data every quarter, for every country tracked.
Access and support
To help our customers obtain and disseminate the market intelligence they need – quickly and without complication – Canalys allows an unlimited number of corporate users to access our information and analysis, as part of our overall service fee.
We also provide additional value through our enquiry facility, which is available for up to five named users by region and corporate function, per service. The enquiry facility can be extended to support more users by arrangement.
Data and analysis delivery
Each of our services benefits from the same strict methodology, with clear, global definitions and detailed, country-level data published on the same day – no preliminary data or forecasts.
We deliver insight and recommendations via frequent, analytical reports and direct contact with our experienced analyst team. Clients also receive results and analysis from regular surveys, conducted with hundreds of resellers, systems integrators, retailers, and distributors. Through our channel partner community Candefero, our service customers also have the opportunity to pose survey questions that directly address their own immediate concerns.
