Vivisimo Positioned in Leaders Quadrant for the 2008 Information Access Technology Magic Quadrant
Leaders Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
Pittsburgh, PA — Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leader in enterprise search, is positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders quadrant in the 2008 Information Access Technology Magic Quadrant, which was issued Sept. 30.
“All the Leaders demonstrate significant architectural flexibility. They also have strong, innovative and broad means of determining the relevancy of results returned to users, and of providing developers with the tools and the flexibility to tune relevancy settings. They have the finances to weather hard times and sufficient resources to invest in both organic and inorganic technology and business growth. They also have enough depth and strength to serve as platform vendors whose software can be used to solve most information access problems,” according to the Gartner report, authored by analysts Witt Andrews and Rita E. Knox.
Criteria for inclusion in the Magic Quadrant have tightened. “These criteria are considerably stricter this year, because enterprises are increasingly looking to a core set of vendors with substantial financial resources and long-term prospects,” according to the report.
“We consider our positioning in the Leaders quadrant by Gartner confirmation of Vivisimo’s mission to help organizations maximize the business value of their information,” said Rebecca Thompson, Vivisimo's vice president of marketing. “With the upcoming launch of Vivisimo’s Velocity Search Platform 7.0™, we are delivering the innovations that will help our customers be even more productive in their use of information and continuing to affirm our position among the industry’s leaders.”
