This is a new Magic Quadrant, so there are no added or dropped vendors from a previous iteration. The report notes that this Magic Quadrant enables IT leaders to assess top vendors' capabilities, ensuring secure, scalable, and cost-effective solutions aligned with business goals. The assessment covers 17 DCO services providers representing approximately $35 billion in global DCO services revenue in 2024, which is 21% of the overall end-user spending of $165 billion for DCO services globally.
A: Not applicable - this is the first edition of this Magic Quadrant. However, the report states: 'We review and adjust our inclusion criteria for Magic Quadrants as markets change. As a result of these adjustments, the mix of vendors in any Magic Quadrant may change over time. A vendor's appearance in a Magic Quadrant one year and not the next does not necessarily indicate that we have changed our opinion of that vendor. It may be a reflection of a change in the market and, therefore, changed evaluation criteria, or of a change of focus by that vendor.'
