The Spontania platform is an adaptable, scalable, and easy to administer, on-premise, software-only solution.

The Magic Quadrant is a graphical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period. This graphical representation will depict an analysis of how vendors measure against the criteria for that marketplace. The Magic Quadrant is not intended to be a specific guide. It is intended solely as a research tool.

 

A company is positioned in the Gartner Magic Quadrant based on its ability to execute as well as completeness of vision. According to Gartner, “Visionaries typically have an important, unique or well-developed technical capability and provide key elements of innovation that illustrate the future of the market. However, they have not yet developed sales and support capabilities to address or influence the complete market.”
