What WCC’s tier placings mean

On “Who provides IT leadership rather than just IT support?”, WCC sits in tier 1 of 2, named in 32 of 205 responses (15.6%). Tier 1 does not mean it was ranked first. It means that at 205 responses, the gap between WCC and the most-named firm in that sample is inside the margin of error, so the two cannot be told apart. WCC shares tier 1 with Framework IT, NetStandard, Smartweb, Rocker, MSP Global and Click One MSP, and the order they are listed in is arbitrary. 3 further firms were named on this question but fell into lower tiers, meaning the sample did separate WCC from them.
