The primary objective of this study was to provide strategic insights for effective business decisions for the client by assessing key market dynamics and trends across all the major verticals and to understand the market shares of major brands within the market space.
The eEvaluation service market includes SaaS-based software tools that enable companies to carry out strategic or complex procurements in conjunction with eTendering.
