Human Inference, one of Europe's leading organizations in the area of data quality solutions, is pleased to announce it has been positioned by Gartner Inc. in the Visionaries quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools, 2007*. Gartner has examined fifteen international providers of data quality solutions based on completeness of vision and ability to execute.
Hugo Verwijs, CEO of Human Inference is delighted about the appraisal being a confirmation of his company's strategy: 'We are very pleased that the recognition in this independent report, showing both growth in execution and vision for Human Inference, in my opinion, proves our continuous efforts in product renewals and market expansion pay off. Moreover, I believe we are again the only European provider in the worldwide top-five of most innovative companies in data quality. And this in a market that , also on the side of the providers, is still growing explosively.'
In the report, Gartner describes 'visionaries' as organizations that "demonstrate a strong understanding of current and future market trends and directions, such as the importance of ongoing monitoring of data quality, engagement of business subject matter experts and delivery of data quality services. They exhibit capabilities aligned with these trends, but may lack the market presence, brand recognition, customer base and resources of larger vendors."
