The biggest change you’ll note is that we’ve dropped the AdTech bucket because we weren’t able to do it justice with such a small slice of the cloud world. That market deserves its own chart, and already has several versions in circulation so we won’t repeat that great work. Instead, we have added an “IT” box that intentionally slices across SaaS and PaaS to cover products that have IT as their end users, versus pure PaaS offerings that are designed to be upon by developers.

Stefan – You’ll be happy to note that we did add “glue” (integration) companies into the new IT bucket, but in response to the other comments we have kept service providers out for the reasons I noted previously.

Jessica – LinkedIn is not only a SaaS HR offering, but actually one of the largest and fastest growing. People naturally often think of them for their network, subscription, and advertising businesses, but as they have publicly disclosed, a large and rapidly growing portion of their revenue comes from enterprise SaaS solutions.

Kerry – we have several heathcare IT SaaS companies listed under the vertical SaaS bucket (Veeva, MediFinance, Navicure, PointclickCare, etc..) but admittedly could list many more.

Thanks for the great input – please keep it coming and we’ll continue to incorporate your changes in future versions!
