In this year`s `Magic Quadrant` study, Gartner, the worldwide leading IT analyst, evaluated providers of mobile data protection solutions on the basis of their `Ability to Execute` and `Completeness of Vision`.
Utimaco was positioned first in the Leaders Quadrant for Completeness of Vision, which, according to Gartner, is a company with strong vision which invests in developments that surpass the current buying criteria of the market. A company that has scored strongly on both axes, it has fulfilled the requirements of both sets of criteria to the satisfaction of Gartner analysts, and has replied to its survey with answers that exceed expectations for completeness and clarity.
"Utimaco`s strong position in the Leaders Quadrant of Gartner`s `Magic Quadrant` just confirms that their sought-after security solutions for mobile computing are a result of their successful product and innovation strategy," comments Chris Runte, director of Biodata IT SA, Utimaco Safeware`s local distributor.
Gartner considers security for mobile data as essential for protecting privacy and for performing audits securely. According to Gartner, the market for security solutions for mobile personal devices is growing strongly.
According to Gartner, leaders are vendors that are performing well today, have a clear vision of market direction and are actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market.
