Hello!
To begin, please allow us to express our gratitude for vendor participation in our survey last year. We currently explore 120 solution categories from 1,700 vendors. A total of 836 sellers notified us last year, which is staggering. Whether answering questionnaires or fact-checking, or simply including ourselves in the general briefing schedule, we couldn’t do our work without the input and support of our analyst relationships, product managers, and others. So thanks for that.
