Kony positioned in 'Leaders' quadrant of Magic Quadrant for Mobile Application Development Platforms

Kony, the leading mobile and multi-channel application platform provider, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner in the "Leaders" quadrant of the Magic Quadrant Report for "Mobile Application Development Platforms" (MADPs) [1].

Selecting mobile application development platforms has become an urgent issue for many CIOs, with mobile technologies ranking as a top technology priority in Gartner's last three annual CIO surveys. Gartner reports, "building a mobile application is an important component of an enterprise's mobile strategies, because applications provide much of the potential business return on investments in mobile infrastructure. Enterprises build mobile Web sites and apps to engage customers wherever they are. Similarly, they build mobile applications to improve employee efficiency and effectiveness" [2].

"We just ended our most successful fiscal year in April, during which we added the most new Fortune 100 enterprise customers, and achieved 90% year-over-year growth, leaving us poised to continue our lead in the multi-channel market," said Raj Koneru, CEO of Kony. "We've gone from a 'Visionary' to a 'Leader' in just 12 short months. And we believe our positioning in the 'Leaders' quadrant this year further reaffirms and recognises our industry leadership, as well as our ability to deliver transformative mobile and multi-channel experiences to enterprises, their customers and employees. It's going to be a very exciting year ahead."

Kony provides an end-to-end, software development life cycle (SDLC) platform that empowers enterprises to quickly build, integrate, deploy and manage mobile apps across any digital channel with a single code base. The company also offers a suite of pre-built B2C and B2E multi-channel apps and a comprehensive enterprise mobility management solution, which provides companies with the security and control of devices, apps and content to support the growing use of BYOD in today's market. Furthermore, Kony recently achieved a record year, growing more than 90% year-over-year, making Kony the fastest-growing MADP Company with more than 250 deployed and live customers in 38 countries.
