During the initial research process, both supply-side and demand-side stakeholders were interviewed to gather both qualitative and quantitative information. Data virtualization software manufacturers, cloud service providers, and data integration platform firms provided supply-side sources, such as CEOs, CTOs, VPs of Product Strategy, chief data officers, and heads of cloud infrastructure. Demand-side sources included chief information officers (CIOs), chief data officers (CDOs), enterprise architects, data analytics directors, and IT procurement leads from big and small businesses in healthcare, banking, manufacturing, retail, government, and telecommunications. Primary research established market segmentation, corroborated product roadmap dates, and gathered information on how people use technology, how they set prices, how they move to the cloud, and how they implement data governance.
