As I progress in my research work on certain topics of my interest, I will be preparing brief notes/research papers/whitepapers. I plan to share them here for the benefit of everyone under one of the Creative Commons Licenses. I may carry out some research work for private organizations or individuals and it may be made available either for a fee or not listed here at all. The research publications done for third party may not be released under the Creative Commons Licenses. Please be advised to check the license of the document before reuse. The notes will be published entirely at my discretion but I will do everything possible to publish my works under one of the open licenses. This page will be updated at regular intervals and please visit again or subscribe to the wiki feed to learn about newly published notes.
Research Briefings:
Research briefings are short notes produced based on either academic research or market research. These may include brief review work on certain topics of interest without any significant contribution in terms of original research work.
Research Reports:
Research Reports are publications resulting from extensive research on a specific topic with the data and insights gained from the industry. These are independent reports written without any financial sponsorship from the vendors.

Whitepapers:
From time to time, I will be preparing whitepapers on different topics of interest, mostly related to technology and business. Unless I am preparing the whitepaper exclusively for a private organization or an individual, I will release it in one of the Creative Commons License. The license for the whitepapers prepared for private organization/individuals will be decided by them. Please check the third party site for the license information. Some of the whitepapers below are part of my research for Diversity Limited, New Zealand.
