Sometimes being first to market is everything, and sometimes it is not. If you’re too far ahead of the market for adoption, a great product could die on the vine since no one is ready for it. If you get the timing right and your product is a world class leader – as demonstrated in the 2016 Forrester Privileged Identity Management Wave – you might be able to set the pace for the rest of the players in the field.
BeyondTrust is Setting the Pace
