Manhattan Software Named a Leader in the 2012 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Integrated Workplace Management Systems
LONDON, June 6, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Manhattan Software, the global leader in enterprise real estate software, has just
been recognised as a "leader" by Gartner, Inc., in their latest Magic Quadrant for
Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS) which positions IWMS software companies
according to their vision and ability to execute.
Manhattan Software is a leader in the Magic Quadrant because of its strong position in
both areas. Gartner says that "leaders have strength in applications and platform
technology, demonstrate a high level of quality in product reliability and service, have
strong operational and organisational capabilities and financial stability, have global
reach and offer a strong vision of customer needs, reflected in a robust development road
map."
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, operations and maintenance, and sustainability. The
benefits of an integrated IWMS approach far outweigh the efforts required to piece
together disparate applications. Gartner recognised Manhattan Software as a leader for
several key reasons, including:
- Powerful offerings across the IWMS functional spectrum with strong,
well-integrated financial management and analytical capabilities (which will be
especially important when the FASB/IASB accounting change eliminates the
off-balance-sheet operating lease in 2015/2016).
- Manhattan has a strong, balanced presence in Europe and North America (with
strong multiple language capabilities) for multinational corporations (MNCs) looking
for an international footprint.
- Robust GIS location management solutions since becoming a Gold Partner with
Esri.
"Manhattan Software is pleased to see its placement in the Leaders corner of the 2012
Gartner Magic Quadrant for IWMS. We continue to focus exclusively on the real estate,
property and facility management markets, extending our industry stewardship globally, so
it is an honour to be recognised by Gartner as a leader," said Craig Gillespie, CEO,
Manhattan Software, Americas. "In the last year alone, Manhattan expanded its personnel by
over 25%; we will continue to add staff with strong industry experience to persist in our
leadership role as we meet the growing demands of the marketplace and our ever expanding
customer base."
Steve Vatidis, Global Managing Director, commented, "We consider Gartner the de-facto
standard assessment for IWMS solutions across the globe. Being recognised as a leader in
this landscape reaffirms our continued commitment to deliver best-in-class technology
solutions, specifically designed to help customers improve efficiency, cut costs and
optimise real estate and facility management performance."
