Beyond traditional lead generation
Our story
We saw a need
We were formed out of the need to help technology buyers make sense of the vast, global software and services market. Gartner’s historic position as a trusted technology consultant and advisor serves as the foundation of Digital Markets’ guidance to small business technology buyers, ensuring that they benefit from credible information and feedback specifically tailored to their unique needs.
That gave us an idea
Gartner’s trusted objectivity, independence and buyer-focused research helps bridge the gap between small-to-midsize business buyers and the software and services vendors eager to reach that audience.
Now it’s our mission
By acquiring Capterra, GetApp, Software Advice, and UpCity, we now equip the millions of buyers who visit these sites every month with the unbiased information they need to make great purchasing decisions. These platforms provide every vendor — whether they pay us or not — a way to connect with that buying audience. By virtue of our industrywide buyer insights, we also help software and services companies learn how to efficiently attract and engage customers, build brand advocates and grow revenue.
