Saarbruecken, Berwyn, 13 Oct 2008
IDS Scheer, the leading provider of Business Process Management, today announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of the Gartner Inc Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis Tools. Published on 23 September 2008 by Michael Blechar, the research note, Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis Tools analyses 15 business process analysis (BPA) vendors and their respective offerings. In the report, Gartner states that the expanding demand for BPA tools should result in at least a 10% compound annual growth rate in market revenue through 2010.
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.”
The report also states that the “overall BPA tool adoption rate will accelerate as mainstream organisations become more involved with BP modelling to support SOAs and address compliance issues with models based on government mandates and buy and implement the next generation of model-driven application packages based on BP models and prebuilt service-oriented software and content.”
The report also stated that “another interesting and related dynamic is that the enterprise architecture tool market is extending increasingly down into the level of solution architecture, beyond the future enterprise technology architecture and into enterprise data, application and (especially) business architectures. Therefore, many leading BPA tool vendors, especially those that also have enterprise architecture tool offerings, can be expected to grow their BPA business 'up' into the level of solution architecture as part of broader modelling suites.”
“We are pleased to be positioned in the Leaders Quadrant of Gartner's Business Process Analysis Tools Magic Quadrant,” said Dr Wolfram Jost, member of the Executive Board and responsible for IDS Scheer's Product Strategy and Development. “IDS Scheer has led this category since its inception in 1997 and is well positioned to grow faster than the market average based on the report's trends in the areas of business process modelling to support SOA's and enterprise architecture initiatives. With Aris, IDS Scheer has unmatched market leadership and commitment to deliver the most comprehensive, innovative BPM offerings that impact the business performance of our customers.”
