I’ve been torn. I’m trying to figure out who is the leading technology innovation pack at this juncture but the changes come so fast and so furiously that its become almost impossible to pinpoint it. So I’d like to get you weighing in on this.

Here’s a poll with a significant number of companies that you can choose from.  Choose one and, once you do, I would LOVE to get your reasons in Talkback as to why you made your choice. If you choose “Other”, please feel let me know in a write-in who you think is innovating.

This isn’t meant to be only who the coolest is, though that can factor into the choice you make certainly.  It is meant to be the most innovative - leading the leading edge for enterprise.

Okay. Here we go!

Who is Leading Technology Innovation in Your Opinion?

  • Microsoft (34%)
  • Salesforce.com (21%)
  • Google (8%)
  • Oracle (5%)
  • Social Media Companies (4%)
  • Other (4%)
  • User Generated/Small Companies (4%)
  • RightNow (4%)
  • Apple (3%)
  • NetSuite (3%)
  • Amazon (2%)
  • IBM (2%)
  • SAP (2%)
  • SugarCRM (1%)
