I stated in both posts that the only part really worth reading was all the introductory material, and that the parts on the vendors was nothing that you couldn't find out from the vendor websites.

This means if a vendor "ponies up" $5,000.00 (US), then they are reviewed by BPTrends. Hopefully that helps answer your questions of "who and why". Conversely, if a vendor did not pay, they were not included. The sad part about this report is that while the author does point out that vendors paid for the inclusion, it is not readily marketed as such, thus presenting a false set of "leading BPM players". For the record, as the Director of Marketing at Fuego, I do feel it is important to point out that Fuego generally does not pay to participate in reviews such as these, and as such we were not included.
