GAINSystems Positioned as a Visionary by Gartner in the 2021 Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning SolutionsCHICAGO, April 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- GAINSystems, a provider of innovative cloud-based, advanced Supply Chain Planning, Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP), and Inventory Optimization solutions, today announced the company has been positioned as a Visionary in the February 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions. Gartner states, "Visionaries articulate a strong vison for SCP solutions. Their product roadmap demonstrates a good balance between their understanding of where a user's SCP solution requirements are heading and their intended use of key technology developments to help support those requirements. Visionaries are often thought leaders in one or more key characteristics of SCP technology environments (e.g., digital supply chain twin, multienterprise planning, artificial intelligence), and their management teams place high prioritization on developing advanced SCP capabilities. They have compelling product strategies, but they may have functional gaps in their SCP solution, lack too few live customers or have relatively weaker financial positions. They may be newer entrants (relatively speaking) to the SCP solutions market with lower customer functional penetration. Or they may have developed a very innovative product set but their end users aren't yet mature enough to effectively use it to get the anticipated value." Key characteristics of a Visionary include: "a thought leader on one or more SCP domains that tend to be on the edge of emerging concepts; execution gaps (e.g., viability, growth, global scale or operations); has articulated a good vision for how it plans to fill gaps in its solution offering through development, acquisition or partnership; relatively lower customer functional penetration; and tendency to be used as a regional or local instance."
