Positioned the furthest for Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision in the Niche Players Quadrant
West Chester, July 13th, 2016 – Software and consulting firm, Datavard, has been listed in Gartner“s June 2016 „Magic Quadrant for Structured Data Archiving and Application Retirement“ for the second time in a row. The IT market researcher released its annual review, based on a comprehensive list of criteria and independent customer surveys. In comparison to the previous year, Datavard innovated and further improved its services which it believes lead to being positioned the furthest in the Niche Players quadrant.
In the area of structured data archiving and application retirement, „based on Gartner’s estimates, the size of the structured data archiving and application retirement market is $287 million and growing at a compound annual growth rate of 10%.“ Gartner analysts estimate that „by 2018, 80% of structured data archiving vendors will provide integrated support for unstructured content archiving – up from 30% today. … The market is in transition as enterprises are gaining maturity around information governance practices and policies for all content types.“ Consequently, the demand for holistic solutions that support unstructured content and allow for integrating existing business solutions is growing.
„We are very pleased that Gartner has included us in the Magic Quadrant for Structured Data Archiving and Application Retirement a second time. Compared to last year, we have been able to improve our market position. Above all, we believe the analysts recognized our outstanding customer satisfaction and exceptional benchmark for research and development,“ commented Gregor Stoeckler, Datavard CEO. „As large providers gradually withdraw from the scene, opportunities for specialized, innovative companies, like Datavard, increase in these markets.“
