CUSTOMER-WEIGHTED VENDOR SCORING

Research in Action was founded by ex-Forrester executives with a goal to give enterprise software customers a greater voice in vendor evaluations through quantitative data.

The Vendor Selection Matrix™ is a primarily survey-based methodology for evaluating vendors, with 63% of the evaluation is based on a survey of enterprise business decision makers and 37% based on the analyst's opinion. The analyst's input comes from a combination of vendor and customer interviews and the analyst's informed, independent perspective. All of this makes Research In Action Vendor Selection Matrix™ reports unique, and this approach is one of Research In Action's key differentiators in market research. We selected the vendors that received the highest ratings from the buyers, but excluded those with fewer than 15 ratings.
