Jump ahead to just a year later and media outlets such as CMSWire referred to our award as the “coveted Aragon Hot Vendor award.”
As we enter our fourth year, the 2015 Hot Vendor Awards have expanded, partly because technology markets have grown due to the rise of business applications. Our Hot Vendors are evaluated against the following criteria:
- A product or service offering that is innovative in its approach in an existing market
