The report, published March 8, 2012, ranks AtHoc as a leader for its ability to execute, which it defines as "A vendor's ability to provide to the market an EMNS product that meets customer feature/function capability requirements, as well as their ability to deliver and service the product with a high level of service guarantee and customer support."

Armed Forces and major Homeland Security agencies.
