"Gartner's goal with this acquisition is to enhance its overall offering by adding AMR Research's leading supply chain research, consulting, and events portfolio to its global brand," said AMR  President and CEO Tony Friscia. "Gartner will invest in AMR Research's products and services to increase the value we currently provide to all clients and extend our reach globally."
