Daptiv Receives Highest Possible Rating in Leading Analyst Firm's Project & Portfolio Management Applications Marketscope
Seattle, WA — June 15, 2011 — Daptiv, the on-demand leader in project portfolio management software, today announced it has received the highest possible rating of “strong positive” in the Gartner Inc., 2011 Marketscope for Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) Applications (1).
The Marketscope report evaluated vendors across a broad range of criteria, including: customer experience, product strategy, product functionality, business model, innovation, market understanding and market responsiveness. The report rated vendors on a scale from strong negative to strong positive, acknowledging Daptiv with the highest possible rating of strong positive.
According to Gartner, vendors with a ‘strong positive’ rating “have a solid balance of function and cost effectiveness. Strong Positive vendors can provide project portfolio management, project and resource management, or both via cost-effective deployment modes and without requiring the customer to assume high levels of financial risk. In some cases, these vendors can provide SaaS options in which the customer need only commit to a modest 12-month financial investment in PPM. Some Strong Positive products may also be installed on-site, rather than in a SaaS mode.”
The PPM Applications Marketscope replaces the “Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management” published last year in 2010. The PPM Applications Marketscope is a research document available to companies looking for vendors offering integrated portfolio management, project management, resource management and other core PPM functionality.
“We believe Daptiv’s ‘strong positive’ rating underscores our commitment to providing organizations around the world with easy to use, powerful PPM solutions that adapt to their unique requirements,” said John Baldwin, CEO of Daptiv. “Our customers have been instrumental in shaping our product roadmap by offering guidance about their evolving pain points around PPM. By innovating to meet shifting market demands and customer needs, Daptiv sets itself apart from the competition with software designed for people. We feel this rating by Gartner is tremendous support of that strategy.”
