The principle of the research Forrester Wave on the end results in couples is similar to "magic squares" of Gartner: both techniques allow to find leaders of the industry with the strongest offers and also chelendzher and outsiders.
According to data of a research of the solution for mobile interaction, leaders in this market are nearly ten of players: it is Box, Adobe, Yammer, Cisco, IBM, Salesforce, Skype and SugarSync. Not all these brands are familiar to the Russian consumer so we will add that Box is a file hosting service, Yammer – corporate social network, and SugarSync also provides service of exchange and data storage and also a possibility of their recovery.
Evernote (service of storing of any information), Dropbox the Cloud service of file sharing (the file hosting service and the data warehouse), by Google, Citrix and AT&T were placed in the area of the companies which are going after leaders and having every chance to move ahead. It is interesting also that based on a research of area of the "catching-up" vendors and applicants "on a departure" from this market were empty.
