Pervasive Software Inc., a global leader in cloud-based and on-premises data integration software, recently announced it was positioned in the Visionaries players quadrant in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools.

According to the report, for vendors to be included in this Magic Quadrant, “They must possess within their technology portfolio the subset of capabilities identified by Gartner as most critical from within the overall range of capabilities expected in data integration tools.” Additionally, “The data integration tools market comprises vendors that offer software products to enable the construction and implementation of data access and delivery infrastructure for a variety of data integration scenarios, including: data acquisition for BI and data warehousing, creation of integrated master data stores, data migrations and data conversions, synchronization of data between operational applications, creation of federated views of data from multiple data stores, delivery of data services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) context and unification of structured and unstructured data.”

In the report’s overview, Gartner noted that, “Vendors in the data integration tools market experienced increased scrutiny from buyers with regard to pricing, cost models, time to implementation and the quality of service and support.  Customer organizations reacted to imperatives to reduce costs and derive a new interpretation of value from their investments. The new value concept is the increased scrutiny of the audit trail and the lineage of data integration efforts, and the ability to expose it as a result of the demand for greater transparency into how information is used in the current economy.”

“We are committed to being a value leader. We are pleased that Gartner’s report has recognized, in my opinion, our role as a visionary in the data integration space.  We are gratified by what we believe is the recognition of our vision for a ‘configure once and deploy anywhere’ platform for cloud, on-premises and highly distributed integration,” stated Mike Hoskins, Pervasive CTO and general manager for Integration Products.  “We continue to push the boundaries of cloud, SaaS and on-premises integration with pioneering capabilities such as universal connectivity, self-service pre-packaged integration and cloud-based data services – which collectively have been implemented by more than 1,000 SaaS customers and 150 customers running on Amazon EC2."
