CompTIA Research

Research Process

CompTIA research focuses on issues that are the primary drivers of significant trends in the technology community. Quality data is obtained by soliciting information through representative samples of the target population. Decision-makers in every industry are queried.

CompTIA performs both quantitative and qualitative original research. Qualitative research is used to gain insight into what a target audience is thinking (more open-ended type questions, often based on focus groups) and results are often generalized. Quantitative research involves the measurement of data (typically surveys) with the results being more detailed (and usually convey frequencies, means, percentages, etc.).

Only the best vendors, including Harris Interactive, Kotler Marketing Group, TNS Prognostics and The Yankee Group, are commissioned to perform research projects. Web site visitors and members are also actively engaged through CompTIA online surveys.

Complete reports, white papers and web poll results are available to CompTIA Corporate Members. Use the 'Member Login' box on the left to access all of CompTIA research, or click here if you have forgotten your username or password.
