TechRankings is a research assessment tool designed to help companies save time and money when selecting and implementing the best technologies for eBusiness. It was originally launched in October 2000 and now offers users five different categories. These are Integration Server, Customer Service Application, Application Server, Content Management, and Commerce Platform. It is thought that future categories will be announced later in 2001, while the existing ones will be updated monthly.

According to William M. Bluestein, president and chief operating officer at Forrester, "Doculabs' product assessment has helped us provide eBusiness TechRankings clients with invaluable product insights and vendor analysis that, in these uncertain economic times, empowers businesses to make the right long-term technology investments.
