COREscape
IDENTIFY THE BEST TECH SOLUTION FOR YOUR NEEDS
Beyond
one-size-fits-all reports and static rankings. Backed by data. Focused on outcomes.
Why COREscape
COREscape was created to fix what’s broken in technology evaluation.
Buyers are overwhelmed by noise, confusing categories, and surface-level rankings. Meanwhile, many of the vendors solving real problems are buried in weighted averages or excluded from static reports.
COREscape cuts through the noise to connect user needs with vendor value—based on outcomes, not opinions.
• It’s a research-driven platform that empowers users to define their own vendor landscape
• It evaluates vendors based on their ability to deliver measurable impact on real business outcomes
• It brings transparency, credibility, and relevance back into the evaluation process
COREscape is an interactive, customizable vendor landscape that helps users build their own personalized shortlist—tailored to specific challenges, roles, outcomes, and selection criteria.
What Is It
It’s not a report. It’s a continuously updated, research-powered experience that includes:
• A dynamic view of vendors ranked by user-defined priorities
• A decision-making tool for identifying best-fit solutions
• Deep, multi-dimensional vendor profiles that go far beyond traditional reports
COREscape gives buyers control—and equips vendors to tell a data-backed story that resonates with decision-makers.

Methodology
COREscape’s methodology is entirely user-driven
and outcomes-focused:
• Based on thousands of survey
responses and real-world user data
• Evaluates vendors across 20 specific
areas grouped into 4 dimensions:
- Challenges,
- Outcomes,
- Requirements,
- Environments (CORE)
• Uses a transparent 4-point scoring
model defined by buyers
• Avoids single-score summaries that
hide strengths and distort value
Every score has context, and every vendor is evaluated based on their real alignment with buyer needs.
Workflow
1. User defines priorities
– COREscape tailors' evaluation to their business context
2. DEJ applies CORE methodology
– Evaluates vendors across
key areas
3. Top vendors rise to the top
– Only those scoring “3” or “4” (strong performers) appear
during the selection journey
5. Insights evolve
– Updates reflect new data,
customer feedback,
and vendor innovations
4. Interactive filtering
– Users explore vendors by
outcomes, roles, challenges,
and more
The result? A truly buyer-driven experience.
