Syclo Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in 2008 Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms Magic Quadrant
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. --(Business Wire)--
Syclo, a global leader in mobile platform technology and applications, announced today it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the Leaders quadrant in the 2008 Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms* report. A mobile enterprise application platform (or MEAP) is a framework that lets companies effectively develop, test, deploy and manage multiple mobile solutions across their organizations.
Syclo believes that its placement in the Leaders Quadrant in the 2008 MEAP Magic Quadrant can be attributed to its ability to provide both a long-term, strategic mobile platform (previously referred to by Gartner as a Multichannel Access Gateway) and a broad suite of prebuilt mobile applications. Syclo's AgentryTM Mobile Platform is highly regarded for its ability to effectively deliver complex mobile solutions to include multiple back-end systems, communication networks and device platforms. Syclo's SMART Mobile Suite of applications offers companies a quick way to mobilize key business processes to achieve vast improvements in productivity and quick payback cycles.
"In my opinion, our placement in the Leaders Quadrant highlights a year of hard work and another year of following down the path Syclo set for itself many years ago," said Richard Padula, president and CEO of Syclo. "We continue investing heavily in innovation for both our Agentry mobile platform and our prepackaged SMART Mobile Suite of applications because we know today's enterprises need both of these elements to stay competitive. They need a powerful mobile platform to build complex, composite applications that tie many technology components together. But in today's economic climate, they also need productivity-enhancing solutions that can be configured and deployed with minimal delay. Our ability to serve our customers' needs in both areas has won us many accolades over the years, and we take this latest recognition from Gartner as another sign that we're on the right track."
Syclo's strategy is that of customer service and innovation. Even in times of global economic downturn, the company has taken determined steps to bolster its customer support and professional services organizations and push the technology envelope with the latest release (5.0) of its Agentry platform. With a development environment now available in Eclipse, vastly improved testing and administration toolsets and many new Support & Maintenance program elements, Syclo continues to be selected as a trusted mobility partner by scores of customers and partners worldwide.
The criteria used by Gartner to evaluate 11 Mobile Enterprise Application Platform vendors were based on their ability to execute and their completeness of vision. Gartner places each of the vendors in one of four "quadrants," including Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries or Niche Players.
