Understand. Predict. Plan.
CONTEXT's Forecasts of IT Distribution in Europe are grounded in our detailed Distributor Panel sales trends and in the live experiences of those closest to market reality.
This is achieved by CONTEXT establishing Forecasting Circles composed of individuals currently active in the IT business, including vendors, distributors, and resellers across key industry sectors: PCs, Servers, Storage, Networking, Displays and Printing.
Our forecasting processes actively gather predictions from industry insiders who are in touch with current and future developments. Key market drivers are identified and discussed, enabling the generation of forecasts for the next four quarters
Forecasting Briefings and Reports
CONTEXT shares high-level results and drivers with partners and clients in our quarterly Forecast Briefings and Reports, which include sales forecasts for units and revenues across the seven key industry sectors.
All members of the Forecasting Circles receive CONTEXT’s preliminary forecasts and have early access to the Forecasting Report.

The focus of the forecasting sessions is on identifying the drivers for the industry sector as a whole, rather than the performance of specific companies. All input is fully anonymised and is never linked back to any individual contributor or their company.
There is nothing to prepare for the live sessions other than thinking about what will drive the market in the next four quarters.
