Best in KLAS Reports
Each year, KLAS celebrates the vendors who excel in delivering well for their customers across eight categories. While KLAS regularly compares the performance of vendors in segment insight reports, the Best in KLAS report is truly unique as it the only report where vendors are ranked.
The global edition of this year’s report also saw an exciting expansion of awards, with the amount of feedback in the regions allowing KLAS to break Europe into five European subregions.
