A: Vendors that met the defined inclusion criteria but declined to participate in or contributed only partially to the evaluation are scored in accordance with Forrester's vendor participation policy and their positioning is published along with those of the participating vendors. For non-participating vendors, Forrester uses primary and secondary research including public information, data gathered via briefings, and independently sourced customer interviews to score the vendor.
