"As for IHL, I really like their stuff.... but they are more balanced and have fewer ulterior motives in my view. Plus their research has excellent data regarding not only the channel, but deployment of POS from various perspectives. They also get it. And they don't use terms like "mobile payments" incorrectly...There's a lot of noise out there in this space. The worst is in public equity research. So inaccurate it can be very scary. And enlightening as a former consumer of them!"

"Greg worked for me as a contractor mostly in the period 1996 to 1999, while I was responsible for competitive analysis at NCR Corp. I 'outsourced' this to Greg, who did an absolutely brilliant job of synthesizing masses of detail about various Store Automation competitors into a coherent set of usable facts that helped NCR clarify and improve its competitive positioning. Greg has since built his business, IHL, into one of the most potent forces for vendor information in the retail industry...his SOPHIA database is a very powerful tool, which has helped me and others improve our understanding of the retail IT landscape in a very helpful, clear and consistent manner. Greg himself is incredibly knowledgeable about the Retail Industry, and who's who in that Industry. I cannot speak highly enough of his talent and intregrity."
