&lt;p&gt;Q. What are your feelings/experiences with any of the major industry analysts?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Q. Did you seek their advice when evaluating help desk software manufacturers?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Q. Do you view them as unbiased resources?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;br /&gt;GWI Marketing&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://community.gwi.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=42" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://community.gwi.com/blogs/gwisoftware/archive/tags/analysts/default.aspx">analysts</category></item></channel></rss>
