High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yankee Group, a Massachusetts company, sells advice and market-research information relating to information technology. Founded in 1970, Yankee Group emerged as the first independent technology research and consulting firm. Started by Howard Anderson and focused on market research surrounding major telecoms providers, Yankee Group went through a re-branding after 1999. The installation of Emily Nagle Green (formerly head of Forrester Research's North American practice) as CEO at Yankee Group brought about a repositioning around the idea of ubiquitous connectivity, branded as "The Evolution of Anywhere". Yankee Group believes that the emergence of a seamless, ever-present, high capacity, highly-capable network will transform social and business interactions over the next twenty years. Seeing a line of succession from the telephone in the 1970s to the dial-up Internet of the 1990s into the broadband and mobile world of the 21st century, Yankee Group's mission is to chart yet another sea-change in the way people connect with one another.
