HPE Outsourcing, Google, and IBM SPSS Earn Highest Satisfaction Scores With Large Enterprises, According to New Temkin Group ResearchWABAN, Mass., Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Temkin Group recently published its annual Product and Relationship Satisfaction of IT Clients which rates 62 technology vendors based on feedback from 800 IT decision makers within large North American organizations. At the top of the ratings, six tech vendors earned average satisfaction levels of 70% or more across the eight areas: HPE outsourcing (76%), Google (75%), IBM SPSS (75%), IBM software (73%), IBM outsourcing (70%), and Dell outsourcing (70%). At the bottom of the ratings, five vendors earned average satisfaction levels below 50%: Trend Micro (42%), Infosys (46%), SunGard (47%), Pitney Bowes (48%), and Cognizant (49%). "Large enterprises depend a lot on all of these tech vendors, but there's a wide gap in how effectively the vendors meet the needs of their customers," states Bruce Temkin, Managing Partner of Temkin Group.
