The Nine Providers That Matter Most And How They Stack Up
Supplemental Material
The Forrester New Wave Methodology
We conducted primary research to develop a list of vendors that met our criteria for the evaluation and
definition of this emerging market. We evaluated vendors against 10 criteria, seven of which we based
on product functionality and three of which we based on strategy. We also reviewed market presence.
We invited the top emerging vendors in this space to participate in an rFP-style demonstration and
interviewed customer references. We then ranked the vendors along each of the criteria. We used a
summation of the strategy scores to determine placement on the x-axis, a summation of the current
offering scores to determine placement on the y-axis, and the market presence score to determine
marker size. We designated the top-scoring vendors as Leaders.
