Sybase ranked 21st in CIO poll

The annual poll from "CIO Insight" has ranked Sybase Inc 21st out of the top 40 I.T. vendors. At least Sybase has maintained consistent form, it was 21 last year too.

I've never heard of the top two vendors (CDW and Trend Micro) but kudos to the giant Cisco Systems at #3 and double kudos to Red Hat for joining Cisco on 3rd position. More directly related to Sybase...IBM is at #16, Microsoft at #24 and Oracle #32.

Looking a little closer at the Sybase results (and noting a total sample size of 826 CIOs), its interesting to see the highs and lows of the Sybase score. Its highest ranking is "meets ROI expectations" and the lowest is "meets commitments on time and on budget". May we surmise that Sybase "big database" projects are more complex than initially scoped, but eventually deliver?
