Dresner Advisory Services Announces 2020 Industry Excellence Awards


NASHUA, N.H., Aug. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dresner Advisory Services today announced its 2020 Industry Excellence Award winners. The annual awards acknowledge vendors who have achieved a leadership position in the company’s 2020 Wisdom of Crowds® Business Intelligence (BI), Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), and/or Analytical Data Infrastructure (ADI) Market Studies.

The reports are based on data collected from end users and provide a broad assessment of each market including current usage, key drivers, technology priorities, and future intentions, as well as performance ratings of relevant vendors.

The Dresner Advisory Services Industry Excellence Awards winners have achieved leadership status in the industry-rating models included in each research report. The Customer Experience model considers the real-world experience of customers as they work with a vendor’s technology solution on a daily basis, plotting the various customer touch points against sentiment surrounding product and technology. The Vendor Credibility Model considers a vendor’s relationship with customers, plotting perceived value for price paid against a calculated “confidence” score.

 “These three reports are based solely on customer input, providing un-biased look at the realities of current use and future intentions and a first-hand assessment of leading software providers,” said Howard Dresner, founder and chief research officer at Dresner Advisory Services. “We congratulate the 2020 Industry Excellence winners on receiving top marks from their customers.”
