Menlo Park, 10 October 2017. SlashData is excited to announce that nine organisations from the software industry have been unveiled as leaders for developer satisfaction at the 2017 Future Developer Summit 2017 (futuredeveloper.io), an invite-only, Director-level event held at Menlo Park, California this week.
Companies including Amazon, Apple, Cisco, Epic Games, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Oracle and Unity were awarded for striving to place developers at the heart of their business.
The Developer Satisfaction Awards recognise the software products and brands that developers are most satisfied with. Results are based on the independent and unbiased opinions of over 40,000 developers surveyed annually, from around the globe, combined with SlashData’s rigid research methodology. SlashData (formerly known as VisionMobile) is an independent research firm helping the top-100 software companies measure how satisfied developers are with their products.
Andreas Constantinou CEO of SlashData says “The software industry has lacked an objective metric for measuring developer satisfaction, engagement and awareness – until now. The Developer Satisfaction Awards reveal the real developer experience – not an analyst opinion – on how the leading software companies are performing in winning the hearts and minds of developers around the world.”
The Developer Satisfaction Awards were presented in front of an impressive audience of 35 Director-level attendees representing 35 leading software companies, from Adobe to Salesforce.
SlashData would like to thank Richard Hurring (Founder and CEO of Catchy Agency) and Bhavesh Patel (President & CEO of developerprogram.com) for presenting the Developer Satisfaction awards, respectively, at the Future Developer Summit this week.
