Gartner Lists Acta Technology as a Visionary Vendor

Acta Technology Inc, has been named a visionary software provider in the ETT (Extraction Transformation Transport) tools market in a presentation by Gartner Inc, a research and advisory firm.

Acta received this position/placement in a recent presentation titled "The Challenges of Implementing a Data Warehouse to Achieve Business Agility." This presentation explored different strategies for reducing the risks in implementing a data warehouse. For this study, Gartner placed seventeen software providers in a "Magic Quadrant" that assessed their ability to execute and the completeness of their vision in the ETT tool market. Acta was listed as the only visionary vendor.

"To be recognized as a visionary in the ETT market by a firm of the caliber of Gartner is an honor and a recognition of Acta's approach," said Acta president and CEO Carol Mills Baldwin. "In order to maximize profitability, achieve growth and gain stability in the current economy, many industry leaders are recognizing they need to turn their corporate data into a business asset. And, by using Acta's data integration platform to make historical ERP and other enterprise system data available to their employees, customers and trading partners, our customers are telling us they are now able to make better decisions and react to changing business requirements faster, thereby increasing their competitiveness in the marketplace."
