Frequently asked questions
The PeMa (Penetration and Maturity) Quadrant is AIM Research's 2x2 vendor evaluation framework. It measures each provider's market penetration (clients, deal sizes, geographic spread) and technology maturity (capabilities, platforms, partnerships), and places them as Leaders, Seasoned Vendors, Growth Vendors or Challengers.
Any enterprise technology vendor active in the relevant market category can request to participate. AIM Research issues an open RFI for each study and invites qualifying vendors via the Research Calendar.
Vendors are evaluated through a structured RFI process backed by primary research, including vendor briefings, customer references and product evaluations. They are scored across 40+ weighted criteria covering product capabilities, strategy and market impact, and the weighted scores are mapped to one of the four quadrant positions.
The date of the next edition has not been announced yet. Upcoming studies and their RFI windows are listed on the AIM Research Calendar.
