Alteryx Positioned in Gartner Business Intelligence Platforms Magic Quadrant

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Alteryx, a leading provider of strategic analytics solutions, today announced it has been positioned within the 2012 Business Intelligence Magic Quadrant* by Gartner Inc. (NYSE: IT - News), the world's leading information technology research and advisory company.

This annual report presents a global view of Gartner's opinion of the main software vendors that should be considered by organizations seeking to use business intelligence (BI) platforms to develop BI applications. To be included in the Magic Quadrant, software vendors had to meet specific inclusion criteria, including at least $15 million in BI-related software license revenue annually, must deliver at least nine out of 13 BI capabilities as defined by Gartner and obtain a minimum of 20 customer survey responses that use the vendor platform as their enterprise BI platform. This year's Magic Quadrant customer survey included vendor-provided references, as well as survey responses from BI users in Gartner's BI summit and inquiry lists.

"We consider our placement by Gartner into the BI Platform MQ confirmation of our mission to enable customers to unlock the power of information to improve business performance," said Dean Stoecker, CEO of Alteryx.  "We continue to innovate while we execute on our product roadmap. With the upcoming launch of Alteryx 7.0 at our annual user conference, INSPIRE, we are poised to deliver a truly revolutionary product that will change the face of BI & Analytics while continuing to enhance our market position."

Alteryx is dedicated to creating business intelligence technology that lets users easily invent smart and extensible software applications to solve data analysis problems and make decisions.
