ASG Positioned in Leader Quadrant for Metadata Repositories; ASG's Integrated Metadata Management Solutions Evaluated for Ability to Execute, Completeness of Vision
NAPLES, Fla. --(Business Wire)-- Aug. 2, 2005 -- ASG, an enterprise software and professional services provider to Global 5000 companies, announced today that Gartner Inc. positioned ASG in the "Leader" Quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for Metadata Repositories, 2H05 to 1H06.
Gartner, the leading provider of research and analysis in the global information technology industry, evaluated companies according to their "completeness of vision" and "ability to execute." According to the report, vendors listed in the leader quadrant are performing well today, have a clear vision of market direction, and are actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market.
ASG's Integrated Metadata Management Solutions, including ASG-Rochade and ASG-becubic(TM), were selected on these key criteria: functionality, cost, service and support, and viability and vision.
"We are extremely pleased that our Integrated Metadata Management Solutions have been recognized by Gartner Inc.," said ASG President and CEO Arthur L. Allen. "ASG's comprehensive metadata solutions not only improve performance, but also enable IT professionals and business users to efficiently access, understand, and manage metadata for maximized corporate asset ROI."
According to the report, "In 2005, the demand for understanding metadata beyond 'traditional' metadata management areas (such as data architecture, data warehousing and legacy applications) into newer areas (such as enterprise architecture, outsourcing and application integration) has grown. The relevance and value of metadata repositories have continued to fuel new sales."
ASG's Integrated Metadata Management Solutions provide an efficient and scalable infrastructure for collecting, understanding, managing, and communicating a single point of truth to business and technical users. These unique capabilities solve data integrity and manageability problems related to data warehousing, enterprise architecture, data management and integration, service-oriented architecture, and application discovery and understanding.
