Position Based on Vision and Ability to Execute
Datatel®, Inc. today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned the company in the Leaders Quadrant of its Higher Education Administrative Suites Magic Quadrant for 2007.*
According to the Gartner, Inc. report, vendors in the Leaders quadrant have the highest combined measures of ability to execute and completeness of vision. They are performing well, are prepared for the future, and have strong customer bases that have fully implemented their suites. Additionally, each of the vendors in this space has functionality beyond the minimum requirements for inclusion in this Magic Quadrant. These vendors' assets include strong channel partners, consistent financial performance, broad platform support, good customer support, the most-comprehensive and scalable products in the market, and the ability to deliver all the key higher education administrative suite capabilities. Strong vision reflects a solid product and go-to-market strategy for higher education, combined with a management vision for higher education.
“We are pleased with Gartner’s evaluation and listing of Datatel in the Leaders Quadrant,” said Jayne Edge, Datatel vice president of strategic planning and marketing. “This placement gives confirmation of our strong vision, strategic direction, and ability to provide our clients with successful outcomes and value from their administrative suite deployment.”
