Yankee Group was an independent technology research and consulting firm, founded in 1970 by Howard Anderson.[1] The firm "was one of the analyst industry’s most prestigious boutiques through the dot.com boom, with 70 analysts on the payroll in 2006."[2]
In 1996, Yankee was sold to Primark, then to Reuters in 2000 for $72.5 million. In May 2004, Yankee was bought by Decision Matrix Group for around $30 million.[2] The firm was acquired by 451 Research on January 3, 2013.[3][4]
