Antenna Software Positioned in Gartner Leaders QuadrantJan 06, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Antenna Software, the provider of Antenna Mobility Platform (AMP), which enables organizations to design, build, deploy and manage mobile applications, announced that it has been positioned by Gartner in the Leaders Quadrant in the 2008 "Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms" report, authored by William Clark and Michael J. King. According to Gartner: "We've renamed the multichannel access gateway market to the mobile enterprise application platform market, reflecting its maturation... Gartner has broadened the report to consider the strategic multichannel tools and gateways, as well as the platforms and tools that can be used tactically to implement and support mobile enterprise applications... More-stringent requirements have narrowed the number of vendors." "CIOs and IT organizations are now recognizing that mobility is going to impact every area of business," said Jim Hemmer, president and CEO, Antenna Software. "During the next few years this is going to be profound -- and companies need to start thinking strategically now, rather than backing into the infrastructure later. Since most companies have already invested in mobile devices, networks and systems, the focus needs to be on making existing assets more efficient, containing costs and utilizing a mobility platform such as AMP, which harmonizes these elements and produces solid returns for the business." Offering an open and flexible architecture that leverages existing IT investments, Antenna Software stated that AMP serves as the central IT hub to integrate the four key elements of a comprehensive mobile deployment: data, devices, development and management, and to power real-time communications and collaboration throughout the enterprise.
