Analyst Direct helps technology marketers, product planners, analyst relations specialists, and other professionals search reports from multiple research firms simultaneously, as well as seamlessly access reports using their existing analyst site logins. Analyst Direct is an individual subscription version of Northern Light’s SinglePoint hosted market research portal and content integration application for large enterprises.Analyst Direct provides integrated search of market research reports from IT analysts including Forrester, Gartner, IDC, and other leading firms.

Most reports are full-text-indexed and subject-classified to a single consistent standard. Northern Light has agreements in place with all of the IT analyst firms and secondary sources used by its clients today.
