MnM DIVE Methodology
The MnM DIVE methodology involves an extensive research to identify the key vendors
offering WaaS to their partners and other independent software vendors. A comprehensive
list of WaaS Partner vendors was prepared, through secondary research referring to annual
reports, press releases and investor presentations of companies, white papers, directories, and
databases. Based on their extent of service offerings, organization size, and other selectio n
criteria, the list was narrowed down to select the six key technology vendors.
During the production cycle of the report, in-depth interviews were conducted with various
primary respondents, which include key opinion leaders, subject matter experts, directors,
and C-level executives of selected WaaS vendors to obtain and verify critical qualitative and
quantitative information. This primary data was collected mainly through questionnaires,
mails, and telephonic interviews.
Scoring Methodology
After the completion of the data gathering and verification process, the scores and weightage
for the shortlisted vendors against each parameter were finalized. Based on the extensive
secondary and primary research, each criterion for the selected vendors was scored on the
scale ranging from 0 to 10. After the ratings were finalized, each vendor was placed in the
MnM DIVE matrix based on their score in service offering and business strategy in the WaaS
Partner Vendor market.
