An assessment of the provenness of the leading processes of this type and Juniper’s rating of each company’s ability to deliver projects.  A brief comment explains the individual verdict.

In addition each report includes:

• A definition of the technology grouping assessed
• Juniper’s system for classifying technologies according to their provenness
• The definition for the supplier ratings used in the report
• A list of the acronyms used in the report

We had already developed a rating system for the various technology families and groupings, which we had been using for a number of years in our earlier consultancy services for clients.  We now offer these ratings as part of our off-the-shelf reports publishing service through WasteReports.com. 

Over 300 technologies had been rated by Juniper and many of these have been included in our new Ratings Reports.

Ratings are intended as a guide to help identify companies that merit consideration for applications and to provide an indication of their relative standing at the present time.

They reflect the standing of processes and suppliers at a particular point in time.  Because this is a rapidly changing business area, ratings can become out of date relatively quickly.  Customers are advised that they should not rely on ratings for any significant or financial decisions.

Ratings are not intended as a substitute for a project-specific comparison; in such circumstances our relative rating may vary from those published in the Ratings Reports, since the individual project context often means that a specific process may have particular advantages.

JuniperRatings do not contain textual descriptions of the processes or textual analysis. They are rankings against our assessment criteria. For textual reports on individual processes or technology families, please see the lists of our other published reports.

Juniper continuously monitored both markets around the world and the technologies that were of interest for particular applications in those markets.  This research provided us with the base list of available technologies.

Companies may also have brought their own processes to our attention but we did not accept any commissions or incentives to include a process in our reports.  It is our sole decision whether or not to include a process.

Most of these markets are evolving very rapidly and new processes come forward almost on a daily basis.  So inevitably there may be processes that we have omitted, but we have aimed to make the coverage as comprehensive as possible.

No.  The rating report only includes Juniper’s supplier and process rating.  For information about individual processes, please refer to our process review reports and management briefings, which are separately available on our website.

Ratings Reports (along with all Juniper’s publications) are available to purchase 24/7 from this website.  They are supplied as downloadable pdfs when the purchasing process has been completed.
