Which of these five solution providers IS successful?

Over the years, I have written extensively about the following five companies. To access my article archives of any of these providers, type their name in the search box. Each has a unique journey.

That being said, how do you measure or quantify success?

2001	Zycus	India (U.S.)	$500M – $1B in revenue	1.5K+ employees on LinkedIn
2005	Unimarket	New Zealand	$10 – $20M in revenue	99 employees on LinkedIn
2006	Coupa	United States	$500M – $1B in revenue	3K+ employees on LinkedIn
2010	Market Dojo*	United Kingdom	$2.5M – $5M in revenue	41 employees on LinkedIn
2015	Scoutbee	Germany	$10M – $20M in revenue	85 employees on LinkedIn

When it comes to success, here are three pointed questions that immediately come to mind:

• Are the companies with more significant revenue streams more successful than those with smaller ones?
• Revenue aside, which provider has the highest client success rate, e.g., 80% of all initiatives fail? What is their percentage of success compared to the rest of the industry?
• As a practitioner, which provider would you choose to work with, and on what would you base your preference?
