SEEBURGER Positioned in Analyst Firm's Magic Quadrant Report on Integration Service Providers
ATLANTA, March 1 / -- SEEBURGER Inc. announced today that it has been positioned in the latest Magic Quadrant analysis of integration service providers by Gartner, Inc. SEEBURGER was among 12 vendors out of more than 75 evaluated by Gartner to be positioned in the Magic Quadrant, which evaluates providers of hosted integration services such as trading partner management, integration services, application support and communications.
The report positions integration service providers by their market presence, completeness of vision and ability to execute on that vision. Criteria range from overall business viability, customer experience and operations capabilities to market understanding, product strategy and innovation.
SEEBURGER Managed Services is a hosted offering that provides outsourced eBusiness integration services, trading partner management, and community enablement for enterprises anywhere in the world through the SEEBURGER B2B Operations Center. The services utilize SEEBURGER's B2B Gateway, a comprehensive EAI and B2B integration suite that has automated trading relationships for more than 6,500 customers since SEEBURGER's founding in 1986.
"We believe our positioning in Gartner's Magic Quadrant report calls attention to the fact that we have a strong Managed Services offering in addition to our highly regarded installed B2B, EDI, and application integration tools," said Scott Lewin, president of SEEBURGER US. "Our hosted service is a significant contributor to the over 100% annual growth rate we have experienced over the past five years, reflecting our ability to leverage the capabilities of our B2B Gateway technology to respond to changing customer needs and demands."
