Where is your company on the innovation adoption spectrum?

Applications & Platforms Security & GRC Disruptive & Emerging Technologies+12 more

Innovators - we're the first to try anything new

Early adopters - few positive testimonials will convince us to try it

Early majority - when the hype begins, we want to join before our competitors

Late majority - we'll adopt it only if competitors already have

Laggards - we stick to legacy solutions more strongly than competition
