Total Economic ImpactTM study by Forrester Consulting
Investor relations is high-stakes work, yet many teams still rely on disconnected tools and manual workflows. Recognizing this challenge, Q4 commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the difference a unified IR platform can make.
Forrester Consulting conducted a Total Economic ImpactTM study to examine how one company transformed its IR function using the Q4 Platform over a three-year period. Through interviews with a publicly traded company in the energy sector using Q4, they analyzed the impact on efficiency, risk, and return.
