Enterprise deployment analysis and revenue mapping were used to determine the global market valuation. The methodology comprised:
Finding more than fifty important suppliers in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, including pure-play configuration management companies, a variety of ITOM (IT Operations Management) suppliers, and hyperscale cloud platforms with native configuration management features
Product mapping between managed services (monitoring, remediation, optimization), professional services (consulting, implementation, training), and configuration management solutions (infrastructure as code, change management, compliance automation, drift detection)
Analysis of reported and projected yearly income for configuration management portfolios, such as policy-as-code frameworks, agent-based configuration agents, and API-driven automation solutions
Coverage of suppliers accounting for 75–80% of the world market in 2024
Extrapolation of segment-specific valuations for solution components (software licenses, SaaS subscriptions) and service components (managed services, professional services) using top-down (vendor revenue triangulation against addressable market) and bottom-up (enterprise seat count × ARPU by region and vertical) approaches
