French term or phrase: editeur
"Tout au long de l'année 2000, le marché du CRM a été tiré par les offres des éditeurs provenant d'horizons différents mais se lançant tous dans cette arène prometteuse"

Does it really mean publishers here? The company involved are a consultancy firm and this may be a use of the word editeurs I am not familiar with.

Explanation:
I would go for 'editors' in your context (Customer Relationship Management), as in:

"The CRM Project editors asked Janice Anderson, Lucent's Vice President of Customer Relationship Management Solutions, to elaborate on the state of CRM and Lucent's involvement in the field. In this question and answer session, Janice discusses how Lucent helps companies build competitive advantage through CRM, how companies can meet the challenges presented by CRM, and ways in which Lucent's solutions can be deployed across multiple industry platforms."

Explanation:
From GDT, this interesting note on Editeur

Note :
Ce terme tend à se généraliser, surtout dans les rapports internationaux - sans doute sous l'influence de l'angl. editor et aussi par analogie avec l'édition littéraire - pour désigner ce que l'on appelle en France le gérant ou le directeur de la publication mais qui correspond à des définitions différentes selon les législations et les habitudes.
[Office de la langue française, 1985]

I am not clear about the context, but I thought this note might be useful
