VendorRate (www.vendorrate.com)
reported today that IT professionals attending the recent COLLABORATE09
Oracle user group event gave high customer satisfaction scores to
smaller consulting vendors while Oracle Consulting and other top
industry names received the lowest ratings.
VendorRate.com, the only Internet site that offers quick, confidential
performance ratings and comparisons of technology vendors, collected
some 400 ratings from attendees during COLLABORATE09, an international
event hosted by three major Oracle user groups May 3-7 in Orlando.
Attendees were invited to rate any IT or telecom vendor, regardless of
whether a vendor was exhibiting at the show.
“When it comes to Oracle consultants, the bigger the brands, the lower
the scores,” said Rick Schaefer, CEO of VendorRate. “Small and medium
sized vendors continually score at the top of the charts while the big
consulting organizations receive the lowest scores.”
“One of the advantages of being a member of the Independent Oracle Users
Group is strength in numbers,” said Ian Abramson, President of the IOUG.
“Hundreds of our members shared their ratings of IT vendors during the
COLLABORATE event, and now the rest of the IT community can benefit from
their evaluations.”
With a maximum possible score of 100 based on ten key performance
categories, Solution Beacon received the top cumulative rating of 89 at
the show. Among well-known vendors, Sun Microsystems (Servers), Oracle
Software, Dell and HP (Servers) also collected top scores.
The lowest rated vendor was Business Objects (40). In addition to Oracle
Consulting, others in the bottom group included IBM Global Services,
Deloitte Consulting, Microsoft Operating Systems and Symantec Storage
and Backup.
