Hello!
To kick things off, please let us express our gratitude for vendor participation in our research last year. We are now researching 1,700 vendors across 120 solution categories. Last year we were briefed by a total of 836 vendors, which is staggering. Whether responding to questionnaire requests or fact checks, or just including us on general briefing schedules, we couldn’t do our work without input and support from analyst relations, product leaders and other folks. So, thank you for that!
