Liftr Insights’ Market Intelligence as a Platform is the software platform and methodology that drives our data collection and analysis.

We gather intelligence about deployed internet-attached infrastructure via Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) using DevOps software development and operations methodology. We measure infrastructure availability (what exists), capability (what’s in it) and pricing (what it costs). We provide customers with alternative data about the internet-attached infrastructure ecosystem, including servers, processors, accelerators, edge computing, IoT, 5G, and other hardware infrastructure that is connected to the internet.

Market Intelligence as a Platform is different from traditional data collection and analysis. Traditional data collection relies on expensive and time-consuming surveys. Surveys depend on vendors to respond and to respond honestly. Traditional survey analysis also requires statistical modeling to extrapolate small survey sample sizes to an overall market. Survey results can be subjective and imprecise, as well as slow.

With Market Intelligence as a Platform, data collection is faster and more complete, and analysis is more thorough and reliable. Liftr Insights uses Market Intelligence as a Platform to collect comprehensive data from service description APIs and quickly provide objective quantitative analysis. Customers receive the alternative data that they need to understand the internet-attached infrastructure ecosystem.
