If you have any involvement in OSS/BSS marketing or product management at some point you are going to need some external market research and analysis.
Over the last few years a number of analysts have proved themselves to have a good understanding of our industry, and regularly put out reports that are invaluable for identifying how the market is changing. In the past, I've used most of these reports as source-data for preparing sales forecasts, presentations to venture capitalists, and to identify opportunities for new OSS/BSS products.
