Cordys Positioned in Visionary Quadrant for the Integrated Service Environment Market
Putten, 14 March 2006 - Research and advisory firm Gartner has positioned Cordys in the Visionary Quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for the Integrated Service Environment Market(1). An ISE is a suite of integrated development tools and technologies used for building service-oriented and composite applications. In its Magic Quadrant report Gartner states: "for enterprises building service-oriented architecture (SOA)-based applications, ISEs must be a centerpiece of discussion. Gartner believes that the consistent success of an SOA is largely dependent on the use of a good ISE."
"Cordys provides some of the industry's most innovative SOA platforms to establish agile solutions" said Winfried van Holland, Senior Director Marketing and Product Management, Cordys. "We believe this is underlined by our inclusion in this Magic Quadrant."
Cordys was developed with open standards and the SOA paradigm as its core design principles. The result is a tremendously mature platform that includes a comprehensive set of highly cohesive products. By leveraging the functionality of the Cordys platform, organizations are fully equipped to deal with today's rapidly changing business requirements.
Business Process Management (BPM) is a fundamental aspect of an ISE since it bridges the traditional gap between business and IT. The Cordys platform enables organizations to quickly develop composite applications with business processes at the core. Business users are able to model processes while technical users can add the required implementation details, all in one and the same AJAX-based browser interface.
Cordys has long recognized that Business Process Management is crucial in achieving flexibility and agility, which are two key business drivers for implementing an SOA. Another important SOA driver is the need for superior developer productivity in order to shorten the time to market of new business initiatives. Cordys helps organizations by providing a set of tightly integrated development and deployment tools that bring maximum developer performance. Moreover, through its unique distributed architecture Cordys comes with natural support for high availability scenarios. Users can easily scale up to cope with unexpected peeks in demand resulting in easier operational maintenance.
Frits Felix, Vice President Cordys Europe: "For companies considering the implementation of an SOA, the choice of an ISE vendor is of critical importance to ensure a sound basis for application development. Cordys' vision, experience and knowledge in this field enable the company to offer businesses a way to a successful SOA."
In addition, Gartner has also positioned Cordys within the Magic Quadrant for Integration Backbone Software, 1H05(2) and the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise-Scope Application Platform Suites, 3Q05(3).
