Planned Research deliverables

Follow the Money 2020 - available now - 2021 data available from Feb 2021

Where are buyers focusing their attention? What specifically drives value and risk perceptions? Follow the Money Insights help firms calibrate their technology strategy, providing a benchmark of priorities across front, middle and back office technologies.

The Follow the Money report provides findings on the technology's current state, installation dates, spending, as well as the line-of-business budget. Every year, Adox Research reaches out to more than 100+ technology buyers, and surveys them across 16 technology areas to learn about the lifecycle, value, and outlook for key technologies. Each report offers a wealth of data that can feed into strategy and market sizing projects as well as pointed insights and data for content marketing programs and sales campaigns.

2020 Follow the Money reports cover the following data points for each of the trade lifecycle technologies:
Buyer Behaviour analysis - how do IT buyers stay informed about market drivers and technology changes? Which channels to they use at each point of the research and procurement cycle? Which channels are most trusted?
Automation Level analysis - across front, middle and back office functions - what are the levels of automation firms are achieving? What can we learn from analysing leaders and laggards in trade automation?
​Value & Risk  analysis - Which value and risk drivers are accelerators or obstacles for investment? Which business benefits are buyers looking for - and which risks do they seek to mitigate?
Budget & Delta analysis - How much are buyers planning to spend? How is that spend changing over time?

Development & Deployment analysis - How will firms acquire critical business capabilities? Build, buy or outsource? What is the appetite from SaaS and managed services? Is on-prem still a thing?



8x8 Surveys ​
Adox Research 8 x 8 surveys assess a specific fintech domain comparing up to eight vendor solutions across eight metrics.  These surveys help firms select the relevant shortlist of solution providers, and align their own selection and evaluation process with an independent capability assessment.
