About the Elearnity 9-Grid
The Elearnity 9-Grid^™ analysis model is based on the results of extensive independent research and deep insights from Elearnity's corporate research network of over 150 client organizations across the UK and Europe. Elearnity 9-Grid^™ was originally created because of the limited value to European companies of US-centric market analysis. Elearnity is unique in assessing vendors and solutions with a European market perspective, and from providing independent advice to large multi-national clients based in EMEA.

The 9-Grid^™ analysis is also uniquely designed for HR and Learning Professionals rather than IT. It uses the familiar framework of the nine box talent profile, but applied to solutions instead of people. The analysis captures five levels of insight into a vendor's position in the market, including their Performance, Potential, and Market Presence, but also uniquely, Total Cost of Ownership and Elearnity's expectations about their 9-Grid^™ Trajectory in the future. This enables corporations to match potential solutions to their own specific context and priorities, as well as forcing a real debate about cost versus sophistication.
