Our third annual Hot Vendors Special Report is here. Once again, we have discovered enough Hot Vendors to make this a two-part Special Report.

Every year, we identify vendors in each of our topic coverage areas that we think are “hot.” They can be hot for several reasons, including:

• The product or service offering
• A powerful new technology
• A compelling offering that leverages trending technologies such as Cloud, Social, Mobile or Video

In Part II of our 2014 Hot Vendor Special Report, we have identified 8 vendors and published two separate research notes.
