What the map shows

How it is counted

Every vendor is read the same way: its public customer stories and one search for its named customers in the press and in talks. Searches that name no vendor come on top: job posts, selection announcements, moves from spreadsheets, one per industry. Vendors, consultancies and integrators are never counted as users, nor banks using vendor software to serve their clients.

A bubble counts public evidence, not customers. Vendors that publish many stories look bigger; nothing is weighted to compensate. This is not market share.

There is no LinkedIn crawling, no data bought from profile-scraping vendors or paid customer databases, no photos and no contact details. The crawler keeps a fact only when the page it read states it.

Corrections and removal

Every person's card has a Suggest a change link. You can correct a title or a company, point to a public page the map has missed, or ask for your card to be removed. Every request is read by a person before anything changes. Organisation profiles come from Wikidata and link to it.

What comes next

A selection guide for treasury and EPM software: start from the requirements of an RFP, see which systems companies like yours run, and find the people who use or implement them, to ask for a reference or a demo.

What the public record shows so far, and how it is counted: Treasury and FP&A still run on two vendors.

Who makes it

Treasury & FP&A Synapses is built by K-φ. K-φ appears on the map like any other vendor, and the map does not rank systems.
