  2. Salesforce 31 orders$3.6M
  3. Tableau 87 orders$3.5M
  4. Panasonic 24 orders$2.7M

  8. MuleSoft 7 orders$1.7M
  9. Microsoft 37 orders$1.7M
  10. Pure Storage 6 orders$1.6M

A manufacturer absent here may have been bought through a statewide contract that never names it on this department's paper. Absence is a question, not a finding.
