Enterprises were asked to rank providers of established technologies in the areas of collaboration, execution, governance, innovation and people. The chosen enterprise respondents all had direct exposure to providers and represented a broad cross section of industries, company sizes, geographies and areas of responsibility. The winners were selected from 24 service providers that consistently demonstrated the highest standards of customer service excellence in the past year.
