data. So mobilesquared has developed a series of Databooks that are data-heavy
and copy-light.
Our Databooks are designed to deliver comprehensive market data and forecasts,
coupled with a concise, accessible short report to provide you with all the data and
key top-line analysis you need to inform your business decisions.
With our Databooks you can now use actual numbers in presentations and reports,
and not percentages.
The mobilesquared Databooks feature:
• Summary market overview
• Current market data + breakdown by OS (actual numbers, not percentages)
• 3-year forecast market data 2016-2018
