IMC Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant of Gartner

Saarbruecken (GER), July 2008 - IMC AG, a leading European provider of learning technologies has announced that it has been positioned in the Visionaries Quadrant of the 2008 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Corporate Learning Systems (CLS). The Magic Quadrant positions vendors in a particular market segment according to their completeness of vision and their ability to execute that vision.




"We are very pleased with our positioning in the Visionaries Quadrant by Gartner and consider this a confirmation of our hard work over the last eleven years", said Dr. Wolfgang Kraemer, CEO of IMC. "We believe our product strategy has paid off as we are a significant player in the market and have achieved the necessary sales figures to be included in the Magic Quadrant", added Dr. Volker Zimmermann, board member at IMC.

In the research note, Gartner states: "The justification for using a CLS is that it aids the process of educating employees, partners, and customers so that an enterprise can achieve its desired level of business performance sooner than if people had been left to work things out for themselves."

"Our mission is to make learning and teaching simpler while at the same time being able to model the most complicated of learning scenarios and business processes", said Kraemer. "IMC meets this trend to 'SIMPLExity', which involves not only the principle of simplicity, but also the balance between the increasing complexity of business processes and intelligent pragmatism."
