Research and advisory firm for technology leaders, powered by large-scale proprietary surveys
Forrester is a public research and advisory firm serving technology, marketing, sales, and product leaders. The stack—AWS, Salesforce, ZoomInfo, Java/Spring Boot, React, and emerging AI tools (Arize, LangSmith, RAG)—reveals a company modernizing its data and client-engagement infrastructure while building AI governance expertise. Hiring acceleration in sales (32 of 55 active roles) combined with active projects in AI governance research and conversational AI chatbots signals a strategic pivot toward AI-driven advisory services.

Forrester operates as a public research firm headquartered in Cambridge, MA, with 1,001–5,000 employees across the United States, India, United Kingdom, Sweden, and Singapore. The business rests on three pillars: proprietary research grounded in annual surveys of over 700,000 respondents; advisory and consulting services; and hosted events. Core pain points center on expanding and retaining the client base, driving contract value, and automating sales operations—typical scaling challenges for subscription research models. Current project focus includes AI governance research, a conversational AI chatbot (Izola), and event registration infrastructure.
