The "Magic Quadrant 2012" lists 16 international portal software providers and indicates the current trends and developments on the portal market. Represented in the renowned market overview of international portal providers are two German companies, United Planet and SAP, and global players like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Adobe and Red Hat as well as the Open Source software Drupal.

"I am very happy to be included in the Magic Quadrant! We believe anyone familiar with Gartner's strict criteria for inclusion knows that this evaluation represents quality recognition", says Axel Wessendorf, Lexware founder and CEO of United Planet.

The intranet and portal software Intrexx of United Planet enables companies to create enterprise portals, intranets and web applications cost effectively, without the need for programming. Intrexx is platform independent and runs on Windows as well as on Mac OS X and Linux. Data from existing systems as IBM Lotus Notes, SAP Business Suite, SAP NetWeaver Gateway, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Dynamics (CRM and ERP), as well as all OData and JDBC data sources can be easily integrated in the Intrexx Portal.

"We believe our listing in the Magic Quadrant shows that we are on the right track with Intrexx, offering a smart software which enables the fast, simple and cost-effective establishment of intranet and enterprise portals. This is in direct contrast to many other portal solutions which are frequently too inflexible or too complex for users", says Wessendorf.
