Business Background
Originally formed in 1978, Annex Research has become a st orehouse of vital
information on the information technology industry. Djurdjevic's opinions are often
quoted by major U.S. and international media, such as the New York Times, the
Wall
Street Journal, the CNN, the MSNBC/CNBC,
the Financial Times (London), the USA TODAY, the
Times of London, the Economist,
the Business Week... - to mention some.
The FORTUNE magazine, for example, described his analysis of IBM as
"prescient," and Annex Research as a "respected consulting
firm." The Computer Weekly of
London called Djurdjevic "Father of Knowledge" in one
personal profile, and the "Giant Killer" in
another one (the latter was in reference to the role Djurdjevic's critical editorials
played in the former IBM chairman's, John Akers', eventual dismissal). The Enterprise Systems Journal of New
York said he was "the dean of a select community of
professionals called IBM Watchers." The New York-based Information
Week ran an article on him headlined "Watching Those Who Watch IBM." The
Canadian national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, did a feature on Djurdjevic's
extensive travels around the world - "Traveler jumps high-tech hurdles." Last
but not least, the late IBM chairman, Tom Watson, Jr., publicly acknowledged Djurdjevic's
contribution to his 1990 bestseller.
