“In 2018, the CPQ market grew by 12.4% to an estimated $1.2 billion.” (Gartner)….
This is why we couldn’t be more excited to be named a “Visionary” for completeness of vision and ability to execute in Gartner’s 2019 Magic Quadrant for Configure, Price, and Quote Application Suites.
What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant?
The Gartner Magic Quadrant research methodology provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers in fast-growing markets: Leaders, Visionaries, Niche Players and Challengers.
How does Gartner make the Quadrant?
“The following criteria were evaluated to calculate each vendor’s Ability to Execute and Completeness of the vision. The evaluation was based on an extensive vendor survey, publicly available financial data, a standardized software demonstration, surveying of more than 200 customer references and Gartner inquiry calls.”
