Our assessment: Branded firm-wide methodology and positioning construct; described conceptually but functions more as a brand promise than a discrete productized asset.
ViewThinkers & Makers Magazine
ToolAkkodis' digital engineering magazine sharing transformational stories and advanced knowledge on technology and engineering, published in multiple volumes per year.
Our assessment: Well-developed thought leadership publication with multiple annual volumes; a marketing/knowledge IP asset rather than a technical platform.
