News Facts

• Gartner, Inc. has named Oracle a Leader in its latest "Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management." (1)
• Gartner's Magic Quadrants position vendors within a particular quadrant based on their completeness of vision and their ability to execute on that vision.
• According to Gartner, "The WCM market continues to grow rapidly, and new technologies continue to emerge. This dynamism has occurred because enterprises today expect WCM to do much more than simply manage the content of their websites. Enterprises want their websites to optimize interactions with visitors, whether that means selling more, engaging more or informing more."
• Gartner continued, "Leaders should drive market transformation. Leaders have the highest combined scores for Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. They are doing well and are prepared for the future with a clear vision. They have strong channel partners, a presence in multiple regions, consistent financial performance, broad platform support and good customer support. In addition, they dominate in one or more technologies or vertical markets. Leaders are aware of the ecosystem into which their own offerings need to fit. Leaders can: demonstrate enterprise deployments; offer integration with other business applications and content repositories; provide a vertical-process or horizontal-solution focus."
