About IS Research

This service is published by I S Research Ltd, an independent research consultancy focusing on the software, IT & telecoms sector in the UK. The company was formed in early 2007 by Ian Spence who has been involved in researching and raising money for companies in the UK technology sector for 15 years. Ian spent most of his career in broking with Robert W Baird where latterly he was Head of Technology Research. Ian was voted TechMARK analyst of the year in 2004 and, in November 2008, Ian received the award for the second time making him the only analyst to win twice and the only independent analyst to be recognised in this way.

Ian was joined by Philip Carse in January 2010, who brings 20 years telecoms analytical and consulting experience, including as an equity research analyst in highly-rated teams at Citigroup, UBS and Commerzbank. Philip runs the telecoms practice.

I S Research is completely independent - we do not trade in shares, we do not own any shares in the companies about which we write and we do not generate any revenue from corporate finance fees. Our only goal is simply to provide timely, high quality analysis of the sector.

What our readers say

Megabuyte is a highly relevant tool for keeping abreast of sector developments and trends affecting stocks in the UK technology sector, beyond those specifically covered as part of the remit of a buy or sell-side analyst. The proprietary database is a hugely beneficial resource, not only in evaluating financial metrics and valuations for sectors and companies, but in providing qualitative context through historical commentary and analysis.

Roger Phillips, Director, Pan-European Technology Research, Evolution Securities

Megabuyte is a critical tool for anyone wanting to keep abreast of developments in the fast changing UK SITS sector. Timely news reporting supported by what is often the first incisive analysis of the day provide useful context and early talking points for IT company news. With news moving so fast in the current environment, such analysis is becoming increasingly important.

James Melville-Ross, Managing Director, Financial Dynamics

Megabuyte is one of the very few must-read emails I receive every morning. The service is not only an easily digestible way to keep up with what’s happening to competitors and potential acquisition targets, but it addresses the issues that matter to me as a CEO. Megabuyte is written by somebody who’s been immersed in the sector for 15 years and uses a language that CEOs understand.
