The TRA team will join Omdia’s operations in key APAC markets, enhancing the organization’s capacity to support technology vendors, service providers, and enterprise clients throughout the region.

We’ve always been focused on helping clients make better technology and business decisions, and with Omdia’s global reach and depth, we’ll be able to do that at even greater scale. We’re proud to be part of this next chapter.”

Mark Iles, Director of TRA, added: “We’re excited to expand the work we do across the APAC channel by joining Omdia at a time of growing momentum in the global channel space. With the addition of Canalys and a strong focus on partner ecosystems, Omdia is well positioned to drive meaningful insight and impact for clients navigating this evolving landscape.”

With nearly 40% of Omdia’s almost 300-strong analyst team and a significant portion of its global client base located in APAC, this integration reinforces Omdia’s leadership in the region.
