SunGard Higher Education Named in Leaders Quadrant in Higher Education Administrative Suites Magic
SunGard Higher Education (www.sungardhe.com) today announced that its Banner administrative suite has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant of the most recent Gartner, Inc. Magic Quadrant for Higher Education Administrative Suites report*.
"We believe our position in the Leaders quadrant by Gartner reflects our commitment to serve higher education institutions around the world," said Brian Madocks, president and chief operating officer, SunGard Higher Education. “We are a trusted partner higher education institutions can rely upon to help build and extend their digital campuses for individual and institutional success.”
The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors and their products based on vision and the ability to execute that vision. According to Gartner, leaders have the highest combined measures of ability to execute and completeness of vision. They are performing well, are prepared for the future and have strong customer bases that have fully implemented their suites. These vendors’ assets include strong channel partners, consistent financial performance, broad platform support, good customer support, the most-comprehensive and scalable products in the industry, and the ability to deliver key higher education administrative suite capabilities. Strong vision reflects a solid product and go-to-market strategy for higher education, combined with a management vision for higher education. Gartner weighted criteria including product/service execution, offering strategy, business model, and innovation, as particularly important in this evaluation.
This year the number of suites reviewed increased by breaking out coverage by product rather than viewing a single vendor providing multiple suites. Therefore the Banner administrative suite is positioned in the Leaders quadrant. The PowerCAMPUS administrative suite, tailored to meet the unique needs of small colleges and universities, is positioned in the Challengers quadrant.
