Built because the market needed an advisor without a second agenda.
Every advisor in this market profits from the platform they recommend.
The ETRM and CTRM advisory market has a structural problem. Every major firm that advises on platform selection also implements those platforms. The recommendation is the revenue pipeline. The analysis is shaped by the advisor's capacity, not the client's requirements.
This is not a minor conflict of interest. It is the defining feature of the market. And until CTI, there was no alternative for organisations that wanted independent analysis without the overhead and conflicts of a traditional advisory engagement.
CTI was founded to be structurally different: an intelligence practice that earns revenue exclusively from the organisations making platform decisions. No vendor partnerships. No implementation services. No referral fees. No second agenda.
Practitioner intelligence. Analytical depth. No overhead.
CTI combines practitioner-led client engagement with an analytical engine that delivers intelligence at a depth and speed traditional advisory teams cannot match. The founder works directly with every client. There is no handoff to junior analysts.
The analytical engine powers every scored report, every platform comparison, and every risk assessment. It draws on verified platform capability data, independent market research, and a scoring methodology built specifically for ETRM and CTRM selection decisions.
The result: advisory-quality intelligence delivered in days rather than months, at a fraction of traditional engagement costs, with zero conflicts of interest.
A market defined by consolidation and conflicts.
The ETRM and CTRM market is undergoing significant consolidation. ION Group's acquisition of multiple major platforms has created unprecedented concentration risk for organisations selecting or already running these systems. The acquisition of MRE Consulting by Infosys removed the last major independent advisory voice from the market.
The remaining advisory options, from boutique ETRM specialists to global professional services firms, all generate revenue from implementing the platforms they recommend. CTI is the only practice in this market built from the ground up to be structurally independent.
