Software AG (Frankfurt MDAX: SOW) today announced that Gartner,
Inc., a leading industry analyst firm, has again named Software AG
a Leader in the 2019 Magic Quadrant for Full Life Cycle API
Management report for its webMethods.io suite.* This is the second
year that Software AG has been named a Leader in Gartner’s Magic
Quadrant for Full Life Cycle API Management report, improving its
position on the completeness of vision axis compared to the
previous year.
To help customers deliver exceptional revenue growth, Software
AG webMethods.io provides the best capabilities for integration and
API management. Customers can turn their data into value, transact
with trust and get there faster. As around 50% of new business
model development budgets are spent on integrating and providing
data, ways to get there faster are crucial for success.
Software AG was evaluated among 20 different software vendors on
15 criteria for completeness of vision and ability to execute.
Underlining the growing importance of APIs, the Gartner report
states: “The number of APIs within organizations is growing very
rapidly in IT departments, but also within lines of business
(LOBs). Every connected mobile app, every website that tracks users
or provides a rich user experience, and every application deployed
on a cloud service uses APIs. APIs are the connection points
between platforms and ecosystems. LOBs see them as a way to
innovate quickly, which enables them to disrupt markets and
competitors by introducing new offerings or new channels.”
Dr. Stefan Sigg, Chief Product Officer at Software AG, said:
“Businesses run on the flow of information. If that information is
stuck in silos, from backend systems to apps or devices, they
cannot use it to their competitive advantage. They have to
integrate to innovate. This is where webMethods comes in. It frees
their data from application silos and enables them to innovate by
providing APIs that deliver unique data and services, powering
innovative digital initiatives."
