Scanmarket is proud to announce that it has been recognized as a gold medalist and leader in the 2021 Strategic Sourcing Data Quadrant report from SoftwareReviews, a division of IT research and consulting firm Info-Tech Research Group. The award is based on the collective knowledge of real users and placement is based on satisfaction with product features, vendor experience, capabilities, and emotional sentiment.
“The vendors who score high in our 2021 Strategic Sourcing Data Quadrant demonstrate a strong commitment to accurate, responsive, and timely communication, which is vital to their clients' satisfaction with implementation and change orders”, says Steven Jeffery, practice lead, Info-Tech Research Group.
SoftwareReviews named Scanmarket a gold medalist as it received an 8.7/10 composite score, which represents the complete and aggregated satisfaction score from end users.
“The composite score captures how a vendor has performed across key indicators such as product functionality, vendor performance, and the relationship with their customers, what we call the Emotional Footprint. A strong showing with this metric demonstrates a product that not only delivers value for their customers, but is also a partner that people want to work with”, according to David Piazza, President of SoftwareReviews.
Scanmarket’s strongest capabilities span across very diverse areas of both product features, vendor capabilities and the softer organizational ethos that makes up an innovative and trustworthy source-to-contract solution, resulting in a 100% Plan to Renew reported by their users.
