Independent Research Firm Positions Axway in Leaders Quadrant for Business-to-Business Technology

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - The Company today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Axway in the "Leaders" quadrant of its Magic Quadrant for B2B Gateway Providers.

As a result of expanding compliance mandates, globalization and competitive pressures, businesses today require secure, efficient and cost-effective solutions for multi-enterprise collaboration. Due to escalating demands from trading partners for increased data exchange, Axway customers are looking to eliminate collaboration obstacles and delays through the use of a comprehensive, consolidated framework.

The June 2008 Magic Quadrant for B2B Gateway Providers, written by Gartner Research Analysts Paolo Malinverno and Benoit Lhereux, states, "The B2B gateway software market is growing and dynamic, which reflects IT users' changing (and increasingly challenging) requirements for more-capable B2B gateway software solutions to support more (and increasingly sophisticated) B2B projects. [Leaders] are likely to have high revenue and commitment to the market, high market share and installed bases, and products that are of interest to large audiences. In addition, leaders have demonstrated domain expertise and presented compelling messages that have penetrated the market."

Axway's Synchrony™ platform addresses the challenges associated with managing dynamic business-to-business initiatives. Synchrony helps Axway customers maintain centralized, secure communications for real-time business solutions within a consolidated platform. It seamlessly integrates with the customer's existing infrastructure, systematically adjusting with a company's ever-changing business needs.

"We believe our vision and ability to execute is supported by the caliber of our customer base and our consistent and sustained financial growth," says Dave Bennett, chief technology officer, Axway. "We continue to develop products and solutions that address the challenges in B2B commerce and seek to provide our customers with the tools they need to be successful."
