IMC
positioned in Visionaries Quadrant of Magic Quadrant for Corporate
Learning Systems
Saarbruecken, July 8, 2008
–IMC AG, Europe´s leading provider of learning technologies, today
announced that it has been positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant
of the 2008 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Corporate Learning Systems
(CLS). The Magic Quadrant positions vendors in a particular market
segment according to their completeness of vision and their ability
to execute that vision.
“We are very pleased with our
positioning in the visionaries quadrant by Gartner and consider
this as a confirmation of our hard work over the last eleven
years,” said Dr. Wolfgang Kraemer, CEO of IMC. “We
believe our product strategy has paid off as we are a significant
player in the market and have achieved the necessary sales figures
to be included in the Magic Quadrant”, added Dr. Volker Zimmermann,
board member at IMC.
In the research note, Gartner
states: “The justification for using a CLS is that it aids the
process of educating employees, partners and customers, so that an
enterprise can achieve its desired level of business performance
sooner than if people had been left to work things out for
themselves.”
“Our mission is to make
learning and teaching simpler whilst, at the same time, being able
to model the most complicated of learning scenarios and business
processes” said Kraemer. “IMC meets this trend to “SIMPLExity”
which involves not only the principle of simplicity, but also the
balance between the increasing complexity of business processes and
intelligent pragmatism.”
