The annual evaluation examines vendors’ Sales Performance Management (SPM) solutions against five key capabilities: Sales Planning, Sales Execution, Integration, Technology, and Deployment. Board, whose all-in-one decision-making platform combines Business Intelligence, planning, and predictive analytics capabilities and is used by more than 3,000 organizations worldwide to drive digital transformation of critical processes, achieved the highest total score in the study.
