PRIMAVERA® PLACED IN GARTNER LEADERS’ QUADRANT FOR IT PROJECT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Company Placed in the IT PPM Magic Quadrant 2007 Report based on its Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 12, 2007 - Primavera Systems, Inc., announced today that Gartner, Inc., has positioned the company in the Leaders’ Quadrant in its 2007 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management. Primavera provides project, resource and portfolio management solutions tailored to meet the needs of project-driven organizations in specific vertical markets, including enterprise IT.
“We believe our position in the Leaders’ Quadrant yet again validates that our product set has consistently evolved to meet the changing needs of the marketplace,” said Joel Koppelman, CEO of Primavera. “With the recent acquisitions of ProSight and Pertmaster, Primavera now provides the leading project and portfolio management solutions for corporations and public agencies to prioritize projects and investments, manage schedules resources and costs, and provide a realistic range of the most likely outcomes for a portfolio of projects.”
“’Leaders’ have many traits in common with providers rated as ’visionaries’ and ’challengers’; however, they distinguish themselves with relatively high-ratings in many characteristics, not just a few. Product depth in such core areas as advanced scheduling, resource and cost management distinguishes most leaders, and most offer a range of deployment options (e.g., pilots, staged implementations, SaaS) to address customer's varying needs at different levels of PPM capability maturity”, wrote Matt Light, research vice president, and Daniel Stang, principal analyst, in the 2007 IT PPM Magic Quadrant 2007 report. “Leaders tend also to have, not just capable SI partners, but some core, direct PPM service offerings, not just for support or implementation, but including process change consulting. Their vision of the IT PPM market often extends to communication and quality management, with features aimed at improving team performance (for example, via collaborative features and methodology support).”
