February was a great month to be a Springboard client. Gartner Inc. and Forrester Research published reports naming IDS Scheer, TRIRIGA and UniPress Software – our clients – as leaders in their respective market niches, which includes Business Process Analysis tools, Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS) and service desk software.

Recognition as a leader by the most influential analyst groups in the industry is certainly a significant achievement for these companies. It validates their technology, strategy, and vision, and bolsters their position in the market, as well as the competitive landscape.

In the technology industry, analyst groups can wield incredible influence. If you are not trying to get on their radar, maybe it’s time to do so. Each of these companies worked very hard to be recognized as leaders, and will undoubtedly “pump up the volume” to maintain this position in the years ahead. After all, this is how leaders (and winners) excel – they consistently rise to the occasion and meet the next challenge head on.
