CMP Media's Intelligent Enterprise Identifies the 2002 Companies to Watch
48 IT Solution Providers Contributing to the Development of
'Intelligent' Enterprises
San Mateo, Calif., December 12, 2001 — CMP Media's Intelligent Enterprise Magazine
announced today that its editors have selected 48 Companies to Watch as strong contributors to the
development of intelligent enterprises. The companies are the leaders in providing IT products that
help organizations achieve competitive advantage by gathering, analyzing, sharing, and acting upon
intelligence. "IT and business leaders will increasingly rely on these 48 companies to make their
organizations smarter, faster, and more profitable," said Justin Kestelyn, editor-in-chief of
Intelligent Enterprise.
The Companies to Watch are divided into four foundation categories that are fundamental to complete
IT solutions - intelligence, integration, infrastructure, and collaborative commerce. The
Intelligent Enterprise editorial team selected the 48 companies based on their relevance to and
potential impact on the strategic IT sector in which they are categorized. "Because intelligent
enterprises are characterized by their strength in four areas of strategic IT — Intelligence,
Integration, Infrastructure, and Collaborative Commerce — we chose to recognize 12 companies in
each category for their respective contributions," said Kestelyn.
The selection process involved a tremendous amount of research and assessment of the past year's
coverage and reader feedback by the Intelligent Enterprise editorial staff. "Rather than base our
decisions on just one criterion such as total revenue or name recognition, we look at technology
leadership, customer innovation and satisfaction, and sheer influence in areas key to the
development of data-rich, value-generating IT solutions," said David Stodder, Editorial Director of
Intelligent Enterprise.
The Companies to Watch selection coincides with the 2002 Intelligent Enterprise Dozen announcement,
which designates the 12 IT solution providers most strongly enabling the development of
'intelligent' enterprises. In-depth features about the 48 Companies to Watch and the Intelligent
Enterprise Dozen will appear in the January 1, 2002 edition of Intelligent Enterprise, as well as on
the Web at www.IntelligentEnterprise.com.
