Gartner Positioned Itineris in the Magic Quadrant for Utilities CIS for its UMAX™ Business Solution

DEURLE, Belgium, September 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

We're happy to announce that in the 2013 edition of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for utilities CIS, Itineris was positioned, among the other 11 software providers, for its UMAX™ business solution.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for utilities CIS is a guide for buyers (utilities) looking for Customer Information Systems (CIS) in the energy market. Criteria for evaluation, used by Gartner, include product and service breadth, view on the future, execution/delivery, responsiveness, track record, customer experience, and many more.

According to the report: "Given the number of players in the market (more than 200 billing and customer care software products), potential buyers (utilities) should consider that a listing on the Magic Quadrant is a good indication of vendor and product credibility"… "Most leading vendors also support billing for multiple utility services (such as gas or water), as well as metered and unmetered services/products."

Edgard Vermeersch CEO/Founder of Itineris - the company behind the UMAX™ leading multi-utility business solution on Microsoft Dynamics AX - commented happily: "Next to being successfully implemented at E.ON and being selected the go-to-solution for GDF SUEZ in the Netherlands, we're very happy and see our presence in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for CIS as affirmation and proof that we've created a solid business solution, built on a 'leading of industry platform' offering a strong foundation for future success for utilities. Moreover we believe this is an acknowledgement of our determined and singular focus on the utility industry."

Roger Van Beeck - Product delivery Director at Itineris - added: "We also consider this a major acknowledgement of the hard work delivered by our product teams as well as of our commitment & dedication to deliver successfully a future-proof and standardized solution at our customers through the expertise of our implementation teams.
