IBM i ISVs Recognized in Gartner Magic Quadrant
Here's a cool news tidbit that's been waiting patiently on my desk: big gun consulting group Gartner has positioned Tango/04 as a "Niche Player" in its vaunted Magic Quadrant for IT Event Correlation and Analysis in its 2009 report on the subject -- a first for Tango/04, a long-time IBM i-focused solution provider.
The Magic Quadrant is a graphical representation of a marketplace at and for a specific time period, and it shows Gartner's analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for that marketplace, as defined by Gartner.
As for Tango/04, "We offer a unique, integrated solution that covers monitoring of technical infrastructure, Security/Compliance and the Business Services and Processes," explains said Raul Cristian Aguirre, CEO and founder of Tango/04. "So we are pleased to be in this report, as we believe it will surely increase our international visibility."
The IT Event Correlation and Analysis Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors' ability to execute and their completeness of vision regarding their product's capability to "consolidate, analyze and respond to component-level IT infrastructure events, improve their event-to-incident/problem resolution process, and achieve better alignment between events and business-oriented IT services." The net idea is to improve the mean time to isolate and repair problems and to prioritize IT support efforts according to business process value.
"For many years, Tango/04 sole focus has been to help IT Departments to achieve true alignment with business objectives. We think this year’s Quadrant has valued the association of events with potential business impact, and so we are absolutely delighted," Aguirre adds.
For details, including other companies on the list, such as NetIQ, I found a reprint floating free on Gartner's site--apparently published courtesy of BMC Software, which is positioned in Gartner's Leaders Quadrant: http://mediaproducts.gartner.com/reprints/bmc/article5/article5.html.
So check it out--interesting reading, to be sure--and in case you were wondering, the report usually goes for $1,995.
