Waters Rankings 2012 ─ All the Winners

Earlier tonight (July 18) at the fabled Empire Room on the ground floor of the Empire State Building, Waters unveiled this year's Waters Rankings winners.

Over the course of a month, end-users making up a large swath of the capital markets cast thousands of votes for their favorite technology providers across 26 categories. Below is a list of this year's winners and the categories they emerged top in.

We would like to thank our readers for sharing their expertise in determining this year's winners, as well as everyone who attended the event.

The August issue of Waters will feature write-ups for each of the winners, explaining their strengths in the categories they won. To view last year's batch of champions, please click here.
