“We believe our Magic Quadrant position reflects a maturing market that understands how Strategic IT Planning unlocks the power of Enterprise Architecture and enables IT to keep pace with business change while reducing operational risk,” said David Hood, CEO of Troux Technologies.  “Troux’s demonstration of thought-leadership in Strategic IT Planning, Enterprise IT Standards and Optimization continues to drive record-breaking sales worldwide.”

To be included in this Magic Quadrant, “a vendor must have a product (or integrated set of products) that meet the minimum requirements for an EA tool described previously (2). All vendors were required to demonstrate that they are being used in production to support EA work in at least 50 organizations, and user references were checked.  Additionally, when the list of vendors was finalized on 29 November 2007, the vendor must have derived at least $2 million in license and maintenance revenue during the previous reporting year from products that are used for enterprise architecture or have exhibited an innovative approach to addressing the market’s needs.”

According to the report “As organizations grapple with the need to understand and relate multiple aspects of their enterprise architecture (EA), the EA tool market continues to attract considerable interest and benefit from enhanced functionality.”
