iWay Software Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant in Gartner's Data Integration Tools 2009 Report
Magic Quadrant Evaluation Based on Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision
| Source: Information Builders
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - December 9, 2009) - iWay Software, an Information Builders company
and an innovator of enterprise
integration solutions, today announced that the leading industry
analyst firm Gartner has placed the company in the Visionaries quadrant of
its "Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools" report. Criteria used to
evaluate iWay Software and other solution providers breaks down into two
categories: the Ability to Execute, including overall viability, market
responsiveness, and customer experience; and Completeness of Vision, such
as market understanding, offering strategy, and innovation.
The report analyzes 14 leading providers of data integration tools and
recommends that, "In addition to functional capabilities that map to the
specific data integration requirements of contemporary business initiatives
(such as
master data management [MDM], business intelligence, performance management, and data and system consolidation and
modernization), IT leaders focusing on data integration initiatives must
also consider non-product issues, such as vendor viability given economic
conditions, the depth of partnerships, the availability of skills, and the
degree of satisfaction with service and support as perceived by the
existing customer base." (1)
"In my opinion, Gartner's assessment of the integration market highlights
our work to enable true, enterprise-scale data integration and information
management by enabling customers to seamlessly bring together various
systems, information, and process from across and beyond the organization,"
said Gerald Cohen, CEO and president of Information Builders.
