MAIDENHEAD, England,
Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SDL
(LSE: SDL), the leading provider of Global Information Management
solutions, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner,
Inc. in the "Leaders" Quadrant for the "Magic Quadrant for Web
Content Management."*
"We believe SDL's position as a "Leader" in the Web Content
Management (WCM) landscape reaffirms our commitment to provide
solutions that enhance customer engagement, enabling our customers
to deliver the right information at the right time on any device,"
said Jan Jaap Kolleman, CEO of SDL's Web Content Management
Solutions division. "We are very pleased to be recognized by
Gartner. We consider this placement a testament to our
ability to innovate SDL Tridion® beyond traditional Web Content
Management to a pervasive solution that incorporates personalized
and targeted customer engagements, multi-channel marketing,
management of global brands and a truly global Web Content
Management capability."
Gartner bases its evaluation on the "ability to execute" and
"completeness of vision." Ability to execute measures how well a
company sells and supports its WCM products and services globally
and completeness of vision focuses on the vendor's potential and
points to its future likelihood of success.
According to Gartner, companies that are placed in the "Leaders"
quadrant should "drive market transformation. Leaders have the
highest combined scores for ability to execute and completeness of
vision. They are doing well and are prepared for the future with a
clearly articulated vision. They have strong channel partners, a
presence in multiple regions, consistent financial performance,
broad platform support and good customer support. In addition, they
dominate in one or more technologies or vertical markets. Leaders
are 'environmentally aware' of the solution 'ecosystem' into which
their own offerings need to fit. Leaders can: demonstrate
enterprise deployments; offer integration with other business
applications and content repositories; and provide a
vertical-process or horizontal-solution focus."
