Company Technographic

Get the current installed technology stack for a company. Returns products with productId (numeric), vendor, usage intensity (higher = stronger signal), product locations count, and first/last verified dates.

Use this when: user asks "what technology does [company] use?", "does [company] use Salesforce/AWS?", "what's [company]'s tech stack?", or needs a current-install snapshot.

Do NOT use this when:

• User wants usage trends over time → use company_install_time_series
• User wants which department/team uses a product → use company_fai
• User wants spend estimates → use company_spend

BEFORE filtering — resolve IDs first:

• By vendor/product: call get_vendor_information(vendorName: '<name>') to get vendorId, then pass here. Skipping causes misses (Snowflake is under vendor 'Snowflake Inc.', not just the string 'Snowflake').
• By category: call get_product_category(categoryName: '<name>') to get the exact category_name, then pass here. Categories use case-insensitive SUBSTRING matching — "CRM" matches both "Customer Relationship Management Applications" and "Customer Relationship Management (CRM) BPO". Empty results on a category filter do NOT include a warning field; inspect the response's categories[] array to confirm which categories matched.
• For full unfiltered stack: call directly with no filters.

productId values in results can be passed directly to company_fai or company_install_time_series for deeper analysis. Default limit: 50; max: 500 (use filters instead of high maxResults). Sort by intensity (default) or date (most recently verified first). Empty results mean no data found — do NOT say the tool lacks functionality. Provide companyDomain (e.g., "cisco.com") or hg_id; hg_id takes precedence when both provided.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
companyDomain	string	❌ No	-	The company domain to lookup (e.g., 'example.com'). Either companyDomain or hg_id is required. Protocol prefixes (http://, https://), leading www., and trailing paths/queries/fragments are accepted and stripped automatically; case is normalized.
hg_id	string	❌ No	-	HG Insights company ID (32 alphanumeric characters). When provided, this overrides companyDomain. Obtain from a previous company_search result.
categories	array	❌ No	[]	Filter by technology category names (case-insensitive SUBSTRING match on category_name, not fuzzy). Call get_product_category first to find the exact category_name to pass here. Leave empty for all categories. WARNING: broad category filters can include peripheral products (upstream data-quality issue) — prefer vendorIds/productIds for precision when checking specific vendors.
productIds	array	❌ No	-	Filter by exact HG Insights product IDs (passed directly to API). Get IDs from get_vendor_information or from previous company_technographic results' productId field.
vendorIds	array	❌ No	-	Filter by exact HG Insights vendor IDs (integers). Call get_vendor_information(vendorName: '<name>') first to resolve the integer vendor_id, then pass it here. You can also reuse a vendor_id from a previous company_technographic result's vendorId field.
sort	string	❌ No	intensity	Sort results by usage intensity (high to low) or last verified date (most recent first).
maxResults	number	❌ No	50	Maximum number of results to return (1-500, default 50). Use 'categories', 'productIds', or 'vendorIds' to filter for focused results instead of requesting large result sets.
provider	string	❌ No	auto	Data provider to use. Use 'auto' for automatic selection or specify provider name.

Use Cases

• What technologies does a company use? — full unfiltered call by domain
• Does a company use a specific vendor's products? — vendorIds filter after resolving via get_vendor_information
• What CRM/category tools does a company have installed? — categories filter after resolving via get_product_category
• Is a specific product installed at this company? — productIds direct lookup
• Show a company's most recently verified tech installs — sort=date
