Oosterhout, 16 October, 2008 / Utimaco - The Data Security Company, today announced that Gartner has positioned the company in the Leaders Quadrant of the Mobile Data Protection 2008 Magic Quadrant.
"We are very excited about our inclusion in Gartner's Leader Quadrant. This placement confirms that our data security focused product suite as well as our road map and mission are in lockstep with customers' requirements," said Martin Wuelfert, chief executive officer, Utimaco. "Our market leadership in Europe combined with investments in our international expansion in North-America und Asia-Pacific has improved our evaluation based on the ability to execute. Partnering with some of the world's largest and best-known technology brands plays an important role in guaranteeing our customers that their technology investments are safe," Wuelfert said.

They have long-term road maps that follow and/or influence Gartner's vision of the developing needs of buyers in the market. Leaders make their competitors' sales staffs nervous and force competitors' technical staffs to follow their lead. Their MDP products are well-known to clients, and they encounter little resistance in selling their products."
