Gartner Positions LiveOffice as “Visionary” in Enterprise Information Archiving Magic Quadrant

This is noteworthy.

This is the first time a cloud-based archiving vendor has been included in Gartner’s EIA Magic Quadrant – in fact, three cloud archiving vendors made the list this year. For the uninitiated, the Magic Quadrant is a simple methodology for competitive comparison, positioning archiving vendors on two axes, Ability to Execute (Y-axis) and Completeness of Vision (X-axis). Inclusion criteria consist of market share, revenue, number of clients, types of products or services, target market or other defining characteristics that help narrow the scope of the research to those vendors that Gartner considers to be the most important or best suited to meet their clients' requirements.

Although simply being included in the report is an achievement, LiveOffice’s placement is even more notable. The company is the first and only cloud archiving vendor to secure a spot in the “Visionaries” quadrant. Being a visionary means that LiveOffice understands where the market is going or has a vision for changing market rules in order to meet future enterprise demand/requirements. According to Gartner, "Visionaries” resemble Leaders in many ways, especially when comparing them against criteria such as product vision and innovation.

This report is a must-read for any organization that is evaluating their information archiving needs. It covers current market trends and also profiles all the leading providers of enterprise information archiving technology (on-premise and cloud-based).
