                      For Achieving IT Excellence

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 2007--Forrester Research, Inc.

WHAT:       Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) IT Forum 2007:
            Delivering Business Results Through IT Excellence

            What must the IT, business, and vendor communities do to
            enable IT excellence? CIOs strive to operate IT as a
            business, using business metrics to market IT more
            effectively. But operational excellence alone does not
            suffice -- IT must also steer the strategic technology
            investments that enable digital business, driving further
            business innovation. The combination is called IT
            excellence. At this Event, Forrester analysts will deliver
            research and demonstrate how every professional in the IT
            organization -- from CIO, to enterprise architect, to
            application development professional, and down the line --
            contributes to IT excellence. Spotlight tracks will focus
            on the issues facing large IT organizations, the future of
            IT and leveraging enterprise mobility to increase business
            value.
