Listened to a webcast myself from them last week - Geez it was bad. Clearly, they do not understand the line between being an industry analyst firm and being just highly paid prostitute for the vendors. I was so taken aback, actually wrote a brief post: http://chilmarkresearch.com/2008/04/29/himss-webcast-today-can-it-get-any-worse/ The crazy thing was that the vendor they were shilling seemed like a reputable firm that clearly new what they were talking about. HIMSS's strong sell tactics actually ended up discounting the vendor's capabilities, at least IMHO. Funny you mention the hard sell tactics of HIMSS Analytics.
