As part of that examination, he reviewed company management and financials, technology practices and expertise, leadership, key customer and partner relationships, market impact, and thought leadership as criteria.
“The company has to be well rounded — it has to have financial stability, solid management, excellent products and services, culture, and a strong partner ecosystem to help sustain its efforts.
