WA Navigator
The Navigator measures competitors according to their current Capability and the Strategic Direction of their business. The insight can be used by Security Leaders to evaluate partners, by competitors to develop strategic planning, and by investors to inform their investment strategy.
Our methodology includes an evaluation of the solution and nine strategic categories, using Key Performance Indicators to position competitors against two criteria.
Capability ranks a competitor’s current product or service offer according to coverage, the relative market maturity, and the support go-to-market strategy. An organisation with a strong capability score is expected to maintain its market position in the short term.
Strategic Direction is a relative measure of a competitor’s organisational trajectory, product roadmap and investment priorities. A strong Strategic Direction indicates an organisation is expected to improve their market performance.
