Gartner has positioned ProClarity, a provider of analytic application technology for the enterprise, in the visionary quadrant of its new "Business Intelligence Platforms Magic Quadrant" report.
Gartner defines vendors listed in the Visionary Quadrant as having a clear vision of market direction; they are focused on preparing for it, but can still improve in terms of optimising service delivery. ProClarity was evaluated on its vision and ability to execute on that vision.
"To be recognised by Gartner, the industry`s leading analyst firm, as a visionary is a testament to the company`s corporate mission, which is to provide the most innovative business intelligence solutions available," says Keith Jones, MD of Harvey Jones Systems, the South African distributor of ProClarity.
"The release of ProClarity 6 marked a significant increase in the speed at which organisations are able to build analytic applications that provide valuable business information to employees, and the company will continue to develop our analytic technology to meet the most rigorous requirements."
ProClarity continues to make innovations to its award-winning Analytics Platform; the recent release of ProClarity 6 marked the addition of new Real-time analytic capabilities which are made possible by Live Server, a middle-tier server that provides "live" and persistent connections to a multitude of data sources.
"Organisations in various industries are already capitalising on the open architecture of the ProClarity Analytics Platform by developing customised business intelligence solutions that promote collaborative planning and enable proactive decision-making," says Jones.
The ProClarity Analytics Platform serves as the cornerstone for state-of-the-art business analytics in various industries including retail, consumer packaged goods, healthcare, banking, financial services, government and education. ProClarity 6 is an enterprise-class analytic platform designed to enhance IT productivity and performance, while providing organisations with a comprehensive understanding of corporate operations and the tools for proactive business management.
