Wily Technology
Positioned in Leader Quadrant Within J2EE Application Server
Management Magic Quadrant
Market Pioneer Links Success to Strength of Technology
and Focus on Customer
Brisbane, CA — May 12, 2003 — Wily Technology,
the leader in Enterprise Java Application Management, announced
today that Gartner, Inc. has positioned it in the leader
quadrant in the J2EE Application Server Management Magic
Quadrant, published on May 6, 2003. Gartner, Inc.'s Magic
Quadrant positions vendors in a particular market segment
based on their vision and ability to execute that vision.
According to Gartner, Inc., leaders are vendors who are performing
well today, have a clear vision of market direction and are
actively building competencies to sustain their leadership
position in the market.
Within the J2EE Application Server Management Magic Quadrant,
characteristics of companies in the leader quadrant include
extensive management visibility, advanced functionality,
increasing ease-of-use features, broad support for a wide
range of J2EE offerings as well as operating systems. Other
factors are leadership in terms of installed base and customer
satisfaction.
The J2EE Application Server Management Magic Quadrant is
one of a series of Gartner reports in 2003 that highlight
the growing demand for solutions to manage Web application
performance.
"With the increasing adoption of e-business applications,
a need emerged for management of the end-to-end application
platform stack," Gartner noted in its "Application
Management Key Issues" report, published January 13,
2003. The report adds, "Because of the increasing complexity
in this area, there is an even-greater need for more management
depth in key areas, particularly in application servers based
on Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition and .NET."
"We are honored by Wily's leader quadrant designation
in the new J2EE Application Server Management Magic Quadrant
and by the validation of our technology and strategic alliances
to serve a growing base of Global 2000 customers," said
Dick Williams, president and CEO of Wily Technology. "From
the start, our focus has been on providing enterprises with
world-class management tools to help them deliver superior
user experiences and high-performing Java applications that
allow them, in turn, to better achieve their business goals."
The Magic Quadrant is copyrighted May 2003 by Gartner, Inc.
and is reused with permission, which permission should not
be deemed to be an endorsement of any company or product
depicted in the quadrant. The Magic Quadrant is Gartner,
Inc.'s opinion and is an analytical representation of a marketplace
at and for a specific time period. It measures vendors against
Gartner defined criteria for a marketplace. The positioning
of vendors within a Magic Quadrant is based on the complex
interplay of many factors. Gartner does not advise enterprises
to select only those firms in the "Leaders" quadrant.
In some situations, firms in the Visionary, Challenger, or
Niche Player quadrants may be the right matches for an enterprise's
requirements. Well-informed vendor selection decisions should
rely on more than a Magic Quadrant. Gartner research is intended
