Counted facts

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.

Organizations tagged 24 Organizations Axyom (Business/Productivity Software), CloudHQ, Coosa Valley Technologies, Corpex, DoControl, Filenonet, Hyperproof, Inleed, Keybase, Musurit, Noru (Business/Productivity Software), Opacity Network, Precision IT, PreVeil, Quilr, Quvia, Real Hosts Limited, Skiff, Spanning, Steentjes ICT Related terms
