Persistent positioned as ‘Rising Star’ for Salesforce Professional Services in ISG Provider Lens™ 2019 Report
The ISG Provider Lens™ 2019 – Salesforce Ecosystem research study analyses the relevant software vendors and service providers in the U.S. market, based on a multi-phased research and analysis process, and positions these providers based on the ISG Research methodology.
This study examines various offerings around the Salesforce platform for the U.S. market. It covers two distinct market segments. On the one hand, it analyzes providers that act as implementation partners for Salesforce and offer services to design, configure and implement solutions for clients of the Salesforce platform. On the other hand, the study gives consideration to the fact that the Salesforce ecosystem includes many independent software vendors (ISVs) that develop and offer applications that are based on the Salesforce platform, and that provide functional extensions and/or industry-specific additional functionality to this platform.
