Here is simple secret a lot of small companies use.
Even if you license a development version or a few seats
you can pretty sure see your company name in those long list. I have seen such a list from a company where we licensed a development package ( for trial/evaluation) with a minimum of 5 seats and we saw our name go up.
So small companies use this kind of list to market themselves. Small companies are desperate in associating their names with well known/market leaders. Nothing wrong in that. But people not familiar with this kind of stuff can be mislead by such a lengthy list from a company's own home pages.
Of course there is no way a (small) company would like to quote the dollar contract or number of licenses (as it will lead to a true picture and often compromise some marketing data) in such a list.
