Each year, Aragon Research selects Hot Vendors across multiple markets that are doing something truly new or different. They may have new technology that expands capabilities, a new strategy that opens up markets, or just a new way of doing business that makes them worth evaluating.

Part VI of our Hot Vendors Special Report for 2016 includes Hot Vendors in Digital Business Platforms, Sales Engagement, Learning, and Big Data and Predictive Applications.
