"We believe that our inclusion in the Visionary quadrant for systematic application integration projects offers a useful guide for organizations that are searching for a provider to automate collaboration with their trading partners and internal systems," said Rohit Khanna, EVP of Global Strategy and Corporate Communications for SEEBURGER. "Our Business Integration Suite has proven to be a robust and complete platform in thousands of integration deployments around the world."
Criteria for Inclusion
The new Magic Quadrant evaluates application infrastructure vendors who provide:
- Classic integration services — Common services for data consistency, multistep processes and composite application integration, including messaging, bulk data movement (for example, managed file transfer [MFT]), transformation, flow management, adapters and process integration packs (PIPs).
- Multienterprise integration support — Functionality that supports conveying business transactions electronically between any two companies among members of a B2B community (such features also have relevance in large organizations — for example, between different divisions) or between on-premises and cloud-based applications.
- Development and deployment environment — A graphical environment for specifying the interfaces and technologies required to implement data consistency and multistep process styles of integration.
- Management — System monitoring and management features that keep IT infrastructures running at peak efficiency at all times by enabling the remote monitoring and management of distributed applications, services and information sources, and by enabling the automated resolution of predefined conditions and events.
Inclusion is also based on Gartner's assessment of a vendor's completeness of vision and ability to execute.
