 WBT Systems in Leader Quadrant for 2004 Learning Management Systems Magic Quadrant
WBT features in both leader quadrant categories for its LMS and e-Learning Suite
Dublin, Ireland - March 31st, 2004 - WBT Systems, one of the leading providers of Enterprise e-Learning solutions in the world, announced today that it has been listed in the leader quadrant in a new report published by Gartner*, the global technology advisory and research firm. The Gartner report reviewed Learning Management Systems from 25 vendors and placed seven LMSs in the leader quadrant. Vendors were evaluated on their execution ability and completeness of vision. In this latest report, WBT Systems moves from the Visionary to the Leader quadrant. According to the report, leaders "demonstrate good scalable product capabilities and features, a strong installed base, acceptable financial performance and good distribution. Leaders are doing well today and are prepared for the future". In reviewing the LMS market, the report also identifies an increased level of LMS procurement in the second half of 2003 that it believes will continue into 2004. Many enterprises have also begun deploying their LMSs on an enterprisewide basis. WBT Systems offers a complete e-learning suite and recently added several new modules including Analytics. The company’s new business sales focus in the United States and Europe is increasingly solutions-driven in areas such as regulatory compliance and sales force automation. "It is a fantastic achievement to be recognised in both Magic Quadrants Reports" said Declan Kelly, CEO, WBT Systems. He added "We believe this report confirms the comprehensive capabilities we now have in our TopClass LMS Suite, our successful global expansion programme and the underlying strength of our business going forward. Our breadth of LMS, LCMS and related compliance management product functionality are market leading capabilities. They now offer our clients tremendous opportunities to drive revenue growth, meet compliance needs and roll out our corporate transformation programmes particularly in regulated industries such as the financial services, pharmaceutical and manufacturing sectors. *Gartner, Inc, ‘Magic Quadrant for Learning Management Systems 1H04’ J.

Gartner's permission to print or reference its Magic Quadrant should not be deemed to be an endorsement of any company or product depicted in the quadrant. The Magic Quadrant is Gartner'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 segment. In some situations, firms in the Visionary, Challenger, or Niche Player segments may be the right match for an enterprise's requirements. Well-informed vendor selection decisions should rely on more than a Magic Quadrant.
