Subtext, for those of you who don't know how analyst firms work: Vendors subscribe to these things, or buy reports for their field, in order to get access to analysts. Access to analysts ensures that they themselves will appear in these reports.

What is an analyst? Just any kind of analyst, in the traditional sense of the word? How do you get access to people when you subscribe to a publication? Why would they want to be in those reports? I'm confused!

Analysts are the people who write about subsets of the technology market for market research firms. They travel to vendors and to large companies who buy from vendors and attempt to assess the whole market; then they write these reports, which are ostensibly intended to help enterprise purchasers pick the right products (and thus easily justify 5-figure price tags).
