Special Report – Hot Vendors for 2012
Summary: Aragon Research introduces our Hot Vendor Special Report for 2012.
In every market, there are always vendors who have a compelling offering, product or combination of the two who are not yet on the enterprise radar. This is partly due to the fact that they are new or just small and don’t yet have the market awareness. At Aragon Research we are constantly on the lookout for vendors that can assist our clients by providing solutions that can help them.
In each of our topic coverage areas, we have identified vendors who are hot. They can be hot for several reasons, including:
- The product or service offering
- A compelling new technology
- A compelling offering that leverages trending technologies such as Cloud, Mobile or Social
For the first half of 2012, we have identified 18 vendors in four categories. There are four different research notes that highlight each of the hot vendors.
