Companies with the Best Tech in 2025
Sep 17, 2025
There are many factors and considerations when it comes to rating a company's enterprise tech stack. At Relha, we use the following as our main criteria to give each company we track a tech score based on the enterprise applications they use.
Redundancy - Amount of overlapping features/functionality across products (lower is better)
Legacy - Number of software applications no longer supported by the vendor (lower is better)
Vendor Ratio - Number of applications compared to the number of vendors. More applications per vendor means easier vendor management (higher is better)
Popularity - Percent of applications that are in the top 5 of their category (higher is better)
🔢 What's considered a good tech score?
A composite tech score includes all the above criteria on a weighted scale and ranges from 0 - 5. The average across all companies fluctuates between 2.5 and 3.0, so above that is considered above industry standard.
| Score | Description |
|---|---|
| <2.5 | Below average |
| 2.5 - 3.0 | Average |
| 3.0 - 4.0 | Above average |
| >4.0 | Well above average (Top 1%) |

📌 Conclusion
Most companies winning the application landscape game are the small to mid size companies that often have a more simple and focused business model. The focus of their core business allows them to focus their technology accordingly and not have to deal with many extra divisions or segments which often leads to redundant software applications.
