  16. Vendor inclusion methodology • We conduct primary research to develop a list of vendors that meet our criteria to be evaluated in this market. From that initial pool of vendors, we then narrow our final list.

  17. Understanding the Forrester Wave • The strength of a company's current solution, including criteria such as product capabilities, ease of integration, service and support, and training. • The strength of a firm's future product direction, such as its ability to articulate strategy, commit resources to strategy, and forge partnerships for technology, channels, and the like. • Vendor's financial and market strength, including criteria such as financials, installed base, average deal size, and distribution partnerships.

We evaluate products and services across three dimensions:

  18. Scores and weighting • We set default weightings for each criteria to reflect our analysis of the needs of large user companies — and/or other scenarios as outlined in the Forrester Wave document — and then score the vendors based on a clearly defined scale. • The final scores generate the graphical depiction of the market based on current offering, strategy, and market presence. • Market presence is always weighted at 0% as the score is reflected in the size of the bubble.
