REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., June 25,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle has been named a
Leader in Gartner's 2019 "Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management
Systems1" report for the fourth consecutive year. Oracle
Warehouse Management (WMS) Cloud is positioned as a Leader based on
its ability to execute and completeness of vision.
Of the 14 products evaluated, Oracle WMS Cloud was recognized as
a Leader for its ability to execute and completeness of vision.
According to Gartner, "Leaders combine the uppermost
characteristics of vision and thought leadership with a strong
consistent Ability to Execute. Leaders in the WMS market are
present in a high percentage of new WMS deals, and they win a
significant number of them. They have robust core WMSs and offer
reasonable — although not necessarily leading-edge — capabilities
in extended WMS areas, such as labor management, work planning and
optimization, slotting, returns management, yard management and
dock scheduling, and value-added services. To be a Leader, a vendor
doesn't necessarily need to have the absolute broadest or deepest
WMS application. Its offerings must meet most mainstream
warehousing requirements in complex warehouses without significant
modifications, and a substantial number of high-quality
implementations must be available to validate this. Leaders must
anticipate where customer demands, markets and technology are
moving, and must have strategies to support these emerging
requirements ahead of actual customer demand. Leading vendors
should have coherent strategies to support SCE convergence, and
must invest in and have processes to exploit innovation. Leaders
also have robust market momentum, market penetration and market
awareness as well as strong client satisfaction — in the vendor's
local markets as well as internationally. Because Leaders are often
well-established in leading-edge and complex user environments,
they benefit from a user community that helps them remain in the
forefront of emerging needs. Key characteristics: Reasonably broad
and deep WMS offerings; Proven success in moderate- to
high-complexity warehouse environments; Participation in a high
percentage of new deals; Large customer installed base; A strong
and consistent track record; Consistent performance, and vigorous
new client growth and retention; Enduring visibility in the
marketplace from both sales and marketing perspectives; Compelling
SCE convergence strategy and capabilities; A proven ecosystem of
partners; Global scale."
"Supply chains have changed dramatically in the last five years
as businesses have evolved to meet more demanding customer
expectations. We now expect to be able to buy on multiple channels,
have our orders delivered faster, and receive or return products
from anywhere," said Diego
Pantoja-Navajas, vice president, WMS Cloud Development,
Oracle. "The leading warehouse management solution built on a
modern cloud architecture, Oracle WMS Cloud enables customers to
benefit from new innovations in machine learning, blockchain and
IoT to meet and exceed customer expectations. We believe this
report is a validation of our product strengths, investment in
innovation, and customer successes."
Oracle's suite of supply chain cloud applications has garnered
industry recognition. Oracle was named a Leader in Gartner's
recent "Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning System of
Record2," and Oracle was recognized in the "Magic
Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems.3"
