GEC NEWS WIRESoftware AG’s Alfabet helps business and IT leaders to better understand their IT landscape
Forrester Research has named Software AG a ‘Leader’ in The Forrester Wave: Portfolio Management Tools For The BT Agenda, Q1 2015 (published on March 18, 2015) for its Alfabet solution. Alfabet was the only vendor in the report to receive the highest possible score for “Portfolio management SaaS growth rate” and “Deployment options”. The Forrester Wave report noted that Leaders have “a product strategy [that] emphasizes portfolio management as a game changer. Differentiation here was a clearly articulated road map that included significant investment in innovative solutions that leverage leading-edge technologies to provide sophisticated analysis while providing a great user experience.” The report positioned Software AG as one of the leaders in meeting companies’ “needs requiring strong market and financial analysis.”
Dr. Wolfram Jost, CTO and member of the Board, Software AG, said: “I believe that to be found a leader in a report that is sub-titled ‘the nine providers that matter most and how they stack up’ validates our vision for IT Portfolio Management. We knew early on that our global enterprise customers have IT investment and strategic planning needs that go far beyond traditional project portfolio management. These companies require comprehensive insights into the constitution, performance and interdependencies of their business and IT portfolios in order to guide their strategic decisions. Alfabet gives them this ‘Whole View’ perspective across all aspects of their enterprise and synchronizes changes as they happen.”
