BOSTON, Aug. 8 MA-Manhattan-Software
BOSTON, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Manhattan Software is a leading provider of
real estate software according to Gartner, Inc. based on their recently
released Magic Quadrant. The Magic Quadrant positions Integrated Workplace
Management Systems (IWMS) software companies according to their vision and
ability to execute. Manhattan is at the top of the Leaders Quadrant. Gartner,
Inc. says that "leaders are vendors that are performing well today, have a
clear vision of market direction and are actively building competencies to
sustain their leadership position in the market." The Manhattan IWMS solution
provides end-to-end capabilities from planning, financial management and
budgeting, project management, real estate and portfolio management,
facilities and space management and operations and maintenance. The benefits
of an IWMS approach far outweighs trying to piece together single
applications.
According Jack Heine, the analyst who wrote the Magic Quadrant for IWMS,
Manhattan Software is "One of the few true global IWMS vendors, with 18
offices supporting customers in 140 countries on five continents. Manhattan's
release, Manhattan 7.0, is a standards-based implementation of Web 2.0 using
Ajax. Manhattan's IWMS suite contains all IWMS functionality as defined by
Gartner." Manhattan has increased its leadership position in this latest
analysis clearly reflecting its commitment and innovation in this market.
"Being a leader in this market is validation by the analyst community of
our global strategy for real estate technology," said Ian Cameron, CEO of
Manhattan Software, Inc. North America. "Our position reflects our focus on
customers and continued advancement of technology applications across the
entire real estate life-cycle on a global scale. It also reflects our ability
to scale up and down depending on our customers' business needs. Our focus in
North America is on IWMS and Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) with
powerful integration capabilities into other critical corporate applications.
In Europe and Australia we also serve the commercial and investment property
markets. Recognition by Gartner Inc. shows that the market values what we are
doing here at Manhattan."
