About Internet Research Group - www.irg-intl.com

Internet Research Group provides marketing and strategy research reports and consulting services, specializing in areas related to Internet infrastructure. At the core of its methodologies lies the concept and practice of early adopter interviewing. Using this technique and the two principals' marketing insight and background in computer systems and networking, Internet Research Group produced a clear and comprehensive view of the emerging market in caching technology in 1997, with an early forecast of the significant revenue potential. In 1998, the principals followed this work with a study of "load balancing." They coined the term "traffic management" to capture a broader view of the potential. Caching and traffic management seemed highly related. This was followed by work in content delivery networks, another emerging market. In 1999 Internet Research Group produced the early, definitive report on content delivery and distribution. IRG continues to center its efforts in the general area of Internet infrastructure, studying how clients can overcome the weaknesses and liabilities of the Internet to enable effective utilization of the potential. Additionally, IRG undertakes strategic business and marketing consulting projects.
