Government & Public Sector
Government software procurement reveals a paradox: 37% shortlist rate for Tyler Technologies and 35% for OpenGov despite 0% prompt coverage suggests buyers rely heavily on existing vendor relationships or peer recommendations rather than articulating specific requirements. The 46 consensus brands indicate a fragmented market where specialized solutions coexist, yet only 12 brands reach formal evaluation—pointing to high switching costs and risk-averse procurement cultures that favor established players.
