News Facts
- Metastorm, a leading provider of Business Process Management (BPM), Business Process Analysis (BPA), and Enterprise Architecture (EA) software for aligning strategy with execution, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis Tools1, published September 23, 2008.
- Gartner, Inc.’s Magic Quadrant positions vendors in a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. According to the report, "Leaders are high-viability 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.”
- Metastorm was also positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Process Management Suites 20072 and in the Challengers Quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools3.
- Metastorm’s BPA solution, Metastorm ProVision®, is a robust enterprise modeling software tool that delivers end-to-end capabilities for EA and BPA. It is part of the Metastorm Enterprise™ suite, which uniquely combines EA, BPA and BPM software on a common integrated framework. Together, the solutions deliver a powerful platform for aligning strategy, analysis and execution.
