Spiceworks Ziff Davis Recognized in 2021 Gartner® Market Guide for Revenue Data Solutions (RDS) Report

In our digitally connected world where hybrid work is the new normal, effective use of B2B data is crucial for businesses that need to connect with prospects who are actively in-market to buy.

Spiceworks Ziff Davis (SWZD) is committed to continuously improving the quality of our B2B data solutions and enhancing the value we deliver to our clients — and industry analysts have taken notice.

Third-party recognition by reputable industry analysts

SWZD emerged as one of 16 representative vendors in the Market Guide for Revenue Data Solutions. Per Gartner: “Revenue data solutions (RDS) provide the essential insights for a data-driven commercial team to target prospects and customers with a demonstrated or predicted propensity to buy using actionable context, prioritization, and guidance.”

Gartner identified SWZD as a representative vendor for various third-party data categories across demographic, firmographic, technographic, and purchase intent and data capabilities including enrichment, data cleansing/merging/scoring, audience building, ideal customer profiling/scoring, and APIs.

According to Gartner, “Across these categories, vendors were chosen to represent the market with research on market dominance, unique approach or specialization, and opportunity to increase sales and marketing alignment.”

In our opinion, SWZD’s inclusion in the Gartner Market Guide validates why some of the world’s best-known tech brands rely on our best-in-class data to gain unprecedented visibility into the entire buying collective and drive optimal revenue performance outcomes.

The growing importance of data

In the report, the highly reputable analyst firm emphasizes the strategic business advantages of leveraging revenue data solutions. Gartner asserts: “By 2024, early adoption of RDS will propel progressive B2B organizations to achieve growth at three times that of those who delay.”

Going forward, analysts believe data will be more important, growing even more integral to the sales process. Gartner predicts: “By 2025, 60% of B2B sales organizations will transition from experience- and intuition-based selling to data-driven selling, merging their sales process, sales applications, sales data, and sales analytics into a single operational practice.”
