These stats are given to us via our partners. Some of their names you have already hit on the head, others included companies like Ellucian with a huge part of the North America Higher Ed market, Hitech Systems with government/emergency services, Zafire with airlines, P2 with energy, etc. We have quite a few vendors who are very large and successful players in their respective verticals.

Re: [U2] Recognition for Rocket and Rocket's U2 in dual rankings today!
> From: John R. Israel > I believe new management came in and decided to totally re-write > everything is something else (SQL?) (huge snip) Here is an article related to the R&R debacle. It was a $67Million mistake that other companies should learn from. http://www.roughtype.com/archives/2005/09/thanks_but_no_t.php Other articles are still available I'm sure, but finding them is kind of tough now given that this was from 2005. We were discussing this and a similar failed effort at Oxford Health in CDP between 2005 and 2007. I proposed then that we could create a whole page at PickWiki called FailedMigrationsFromMV. Funny how so many years later that still seems like a good idea. ;) R&R had a lot of bright .NET/SqlServer types who arrogantly thought they could completely replace the rules of a system that had years of detailed MV rules. They over-designed, over-coded, and did all of the things that curmudgeons accuse new developers of doing with the new toys that come around every couple years. They thought they knew "better" without understanding what it was that they were trying to replace. To their credit, R&R announced the error, wrote off the $67M, and then went on to do "something else". Most of us remember that they failed in their first attempt but I don't know anyone who knows what they did after that - certainly no one in this industry who will admit that they were successful at migrating away from MV. :) My take on this was that this industry lost something like 25,000 seats because there weren't enough people there to convince R&R that they already had the tools required to update their existing application for a new millennium. In this regard, Their failure is Our fault. I can't tell you how many times I find myself in end-user meetings where senior management Still doesn't know what's possible with their MV system (until I speak up). MV is Always on the chopping block just waiting for the axe to fall. For this condition I continue to blame the DBMS providers and their hands-off policy regarding their reseller channel, where most VARs would rather tell an end-user that something can't be done than to admit that they just don't know how to do it. While that's a discussion for another time, I suspect that's how it played out at R&R too.
