Ultimate Software (Nasdaq:ULTI), a leading provider of human capital management (HCM) solutions in the cloud, announced today that it has been positioned by Gartner (News - Alert), Inc. as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Cloud HCM Suites for Midmarket and Large Enterprises based on Gartner's evaluation criteria of Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

"Ultimate is not just a leader in technology - they are also changing the paradigm in the HCM industry with how a focus on people can grow businesses," said Debra Punke, SVP of Human Capital for Concord Hotels. "Ultimate continues to innovate its solutions because they know our industry, care about our people, and understand how to support our business. We appreciate the resulting quality of Ultimate's products and services that elevate our organization every day."

"We believe this recognition as a Leader for cloud HCM suites validates our commitment to developing innovative technology for managing people by putting people first," said Scott Scherr, CEO, president, and founder of Ultimate. "Our momentum in the market continues to increase as we launch new solutions that drive a positive employee experience and optimize business decision-making. At the same time, we continuously support our customers not only by delivering services that lead the HCM industry, but also by anticipating how our product design can meet their future needs."

UltiPro enables executives to better understand employees, predict behavior, and prescribe personalized actions to drive change from all relevant HCM data.

Among other criteria, Gartner's Magic Quadrant focuses solely on vendors that actively market, sell and implement HCM suites on a stand-alone basis, regardless of any additional bundling with ER suites or other applications.
