History

Gideon Gartner founded Gartner, Inc. in 1979.[4] Originally private, the company launched publicly as Gartner Group in 1986 before Saatchi & Saatchi acquired it in 1988.

In 1990, Gartner Group was acquired by some of its executives, including Gartner himself, with funding from Bain Capital and Dun & Bradstreet.[5] The company went public again in 1993.[6] In 2000, the name was simplified from Gartner Group to Gartner.

In 2000, Gartner coined the term Supranet. Gene Hall has been the CEO of the company since August 2004.[7]

In the course of its growth, Gartner has acquired numerous companies providing related services,[8] including Real Decisions—which became Gartner Measurement, now part of Gartner's consulting division—and Gartner Dataquest, a market research firm.[9][10] It acquired Datapro Information Services, a computer industry analysis-focused unit of McGraw-Hill, in 1997;[11] that in turn had once been Datapro Research Corporation of Delran Township, New Jersey.[12]

It has also acquired a number of direct competitors: Meta Group in 2005, AMR Research[13] and Burton Group in early 2010, and Ideas International in 2012.

In 2013, whilst working for Gartner, Anton Chuvakin coined the term "endpoint threat detection and response" for "tools primarily focused on detecting and investigating suspicious activities (and traces of such) other problems on hosts/endpoints".[14]

In March 2014, Gartner announced that it had acquired the privately held company Software Advice for an undisclosed amount.[15]

In 2014, Gartner also coined the term "Digital BizOps" and further developed the early philosophy for digital business operations.[16] In July 2015, Gartner acquired Nubera, the business app discovery network that owns properties like GetApp (a peer review site), AppStorm, AppAppeal, and CloudWork. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.[17] In September 2015, it acquired the privately held peer review site (PRS)[18] Capterra.

In June 2016, Gartner announced that it had acquired the privately held company SCM World, headquartered in London, U.K. On January 5, 2017 Gartner announced it had reached an agreement to acquire CEB, Inc. in a cash and stock deal worth about US$2.6 billion.[19][20][21] On March 7, 2017 Gartner announced that it has agreed to buy[22] New York–based L2 Inc, which specialises in benchmarking the digital performance of brands. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.[23]
