Awards Presented to Vendors Achieving Leadership Status in Annual Wisdom of Crowds Business Intelligence, Enterprise Planning, and Analytical Data Infrastructure Research
NASHUA, N.H., Aug. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dresner Advisory Services today announced the winners of its 2018 Industry Excellence Awards. The annual awards acknowledge vendors who have achieved a leadership position in the company’s 2018 Wisdom of Crowds® Business Intelligence (BI), Enterprise Planning, and/or Analytical Data Infrastructure (ADI) Market Studies. The reports are based on data collected from end users and provide a broad assessment of each market including current usage, key drivers, technology priorities, and future intentions as well as performance ratings of relevant vendors.
The Dresner Advisory Services Industry Excellence Awards go to vendors who achieved leadership status in two industry-rating models included in each research report. The Customer Experience model considers the real-world experience of customers working with vendors’ technology solutions on a daily basis, plotting the various customer touch points against sentiment surrounding product and technology. The Vendor Credibility Model considers a vendor’s relationship with customers, plotting perceived value for price paid against a calculated “confidence” score.
“The unique value of our research is in its end-user perspective of the market, both in adoption trends and intentions, and the ability to provide an unfiltered assessment of industry suppliers,” said Howard Dresner, founder and chief research officer at Dresner Advisory Services. “We congratulate this year’s winners on receiving top marks from their customer base.”
