“CIO Insight’s annual Vendor Value study had some surprising results this year. A newcomer to the list—CDW—takes first place, unseating Red Hat, which fell to third place. Yet while companies like Research In Motion, Hewlett-Packard, Citrix and Motorola improved their scores, the overall results indicate that CIO satisfaction with their vendors has waned significantly since last year,” Allan E. Alter reports for CIO Insight.
