About Us
Davidson Consulting

Peter J. Davidson is president of Davidson Consulting, a firm
that specializes in market research, consulting, newsletter
and industry conferences covering facsimile and unified
communications. He also writes a monthly newsletter,
FaxWire on the overall fax industry.  

He also publishes several market research reports on fax
every year, including ones on fax services, on fax servers and
intelligent fax boards, and on fax machines.  He has done
this since 2001, when he ceased to create reports, through
an affiliation, for International Data Corporation (IDC), one of
the leading high tech market research firms in the world.   
The IDC relationship lasted 5 years.

Davidson has covered the fax industry intensively since 1986,
when he became the writer of FAXreporter, a monthly
newsletter published by Buyers Laboratory, a Consumer
Union spin-off that tests and reports on office systems.  In
1994, Davidson authored a report, also published by Buyers
Laboratory, entitled "Hidden Fax Costs and Secrets to
Savings," which was a 'best-seller' among fax machine
dealers and corporate buyers (approximately 500 copies
sold).

Davidson also has provided consulting services to a wide
range of clients, for  Davidson Consulting and IDC fax clients,
