According to Gartner, "Leaders are highvisibility vendors with proven track records in BPA tools and high degrees of functionality or market penetration, as well as vision and business investment. They are also well positioned for the future, because of completeness of vision due to financial commitment and market share, technological differentiation or both. Leaders do not necessarily offer the best products for every customer project or role. However, they provide solutions that offer relatively lower risk."
"We believe Gartner naming us to the Magic Quadrant for BPA tools is a validation of our product innovation, exceptional services we provide globally and strong alliances," said Dr. Wolfram Jost, member of the executive Board and responsible for IDS Scheer's product strategy and development. "Our goal is to continue to deliver the most comprehensive, innovative BPM offerings that impact the business performance of our customers, while enabling them to achieve agility at a lower cost and drive growth."
