@CharlesTBetz I understand the benchmarking piece, and on a basic level agree with your position--if due consideration is given to the client for access to the benchmarking data in return for providing anonymized data for the aggregate benchmarks. It doesn't even need to be full access--it could be a partial credit. My point is, the client's data has value and the client should be compensated for that value. Also, the client should be able to opt-in or opt-out the use of the client's data. The vendors I have spoken to about this point actually are all in full agreement, so I don't think there is an issue here in practice.
