Back in the days of mainframes and mastodons, people said, “Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM.” Big Blue’s size and ubiquity made it the safe choice for business IT. Things have changed quite a bit since then (to put it mildly). Technological evolution has resulted in solutions for nearly every niche in the business ecosystem.

Now martech buyers are confronted with a huge number of vendors for practically every use case. Is it better to go with someone big and established or small and targeted? Steve Petersen has a post today laying out how to answer that question.

And speaking of technology, please consider taking our 2024 MarTech Replacement Survey. It only takes a couple of minutes and it helps us help you.
