Pure deception, Violin redux
Gartner indeed does let all vendors participating know the financial figures that it has estimated and does ask the vendor to make corrections/updates in order to ensure the accuracy of the Gartner data. Pure clearly deceived Gartner in not correcting the massive disparity. I'm surprised Gartner chose to be the fall-guy. This reminds me a bit of the behavior exhibited by companies like Violin who failed to maintain their integrity and bit it hard in the end.
