A lot of factors go into choosing which integration firms are featured in our CI Profile cover stories.
The biggest and by far most important factor, however, is simple: Analysis of their business operations and strategies must translate to valuable lessons for our audience.
In choosing CI Profile subjects we’re not necessarily trying to identify the industry’s best companies, but we are absolutely trying to identify firms that are implementing unique strategies or overcoming unique challenges.
Only six integration firms graced the cover of CI in 2016 since we featured five issues with non-CI Profile cover stories.
With the year nearly in the rearview mirror, let’s look back at what we learned from those six firms.
1. Synergy Media Group
Outlier or Outlaw?
Synergy Media Group broke industry tradition to generate a new revenue stream. We welcomed industry debate about whether it was right to do so.
