Embarcadero Technologies, a leading provider of software solutions that enable organisations to build, optimise and manage databases and applications has been selected to Intelligent Enterprise Magazine`s Companies to Watch as a strong contributor to the development of intelligent enterprises.
Embarcadero was one of 12 companies chosen in the infrastructure sector, alongside Hitachi, Dell Computer and Hewlett-Packard, among others.
The companies chosen are the leaders in providing IT products that help organisations achieve competitive advantage by gathering, analysing, sharing and acting upon intelligence. The selection process involved reader feedback and research by the Intelligent Enterprise editorial staff. Results were based on the relevance to and potential impact on four strategic IT sectors-intelligence, integration, infrastructure and collaborative commerce.
"Embarcadero has demonstrated its ability in helping companies develop and maintain a smarter, faster and more profitable infrastructure," said Justin Kestelyn, editor-in-chief of Intelligent Enterprise. "We look at technology leadership, customer innovation and satisfaction, and sheer influence in areas key to the development of data-rich, value-generating IT solutions in order to select companies like Embarcadero."
"We are excited to be a part of Intelligent Enterprise`s Companies to Watch," said Alan Raubenheimer, CEO for Embarcadero Africa. "We are pleased that the magazine`s editors and readers have recognised Embarcadero`s ability to provide key solutions to support a growing and complex infrastructure."
