Board International Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant of 2016 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Corporate Performance Management Solutions

Board International, the leading global provider of software for unified Business Intelligence, Performance Management and Analytics, was positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant of the 2016 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Corporate Performance Management (SCPM) www.gartner.com.

Board Co-founder and CEO Giovanni Grossi noted, “Gartner has rightfully recognized the strengths of the Board Platform for Strategic CPM, which is increasingly running strategic business planning that spans the financial and operational sides of corporations around the world.”
“SCPM solutions support the office of finance's budgeting, planning and forecasting efforts,” wrote Gartner (Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Strategic Corporate Performance Management Solutions, Christopher Iervolino, John E. Van Decker, 31 May 2016).
“They also provide profitability modeling and strategy management capabilities. Ultimately, these solutions help CFOs and other business leaders orchestrate organizational performance and manage strategy in a more controlled and transparent manner.
“The fact that certain vendors are Leaders does not mean that their solutions effectively address all functional and technical requirements for all use cases better than vendors in the other three quadrants,” added the Gartner analysts. “In certain areas, most notably ease of use, solution flexibility, innovation, implementation effort and ongoing support cost, Leaders can often compare unfavorably with other vendors in this market.”
