iWay Software: iWay Software Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant in Analyst Report on Managed File Transfer; iWay evaluated based on completeness of vision and ability to execute(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RDATE:04072008 London, UK -- iWay Software, a division of Information Builders and an innovator of enterprise integration solutions, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned iWay to the Visionaries Quadrant in the recently issued "Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer," issued June 23, 2008. According to the Gartner report, Managed File Transfer (MFT) helps companies, "manage the movement of information from system to system, partner to partner and person to person Gartner tracks 20 vendors in this space offering MFT functionality in multiple deployment models, including services, appliances and traditional software. Additionally, all the vendors represent various spectrums of the MFT suite market, including multi-enterprise collaboration, internal integration and support for common collaboration mechanisms, including email." Vendors in the Visionaries' quadrant are defined in the report as companies that, "understand the market and customer requirements well, but have fewer assets available or committed to the pursuit of this particular market than leaders. Specific to the MFT suite market, visionaries offer the functionality requirements often requested by Type A (early technology adopters) companies, such as an service-oriented architecture with interoperable interfaces, business process management and an integrated service environment for design and modeling. However, many visionaries compete in multiple markets, trying to balance and juggle resources and marketing messages." "Our Managed File Transfer offering, gives customers the ability to perform highly reliable, scalable, and auditable transfers for any size file, across any protocol," said iWay President John Senor. "At iWay, the single integration infrastructure we provide is capable of handling MFT, B2B and A2A integrations. By contrast, it is my belief that our competitors require separate products and infrastructures for each integration, which increases costs, complexity and maintenance."
