News Facts
Gartner, Inc. has placed Oracle’s Siebel CRM and Oracle CRM On Demand in the Leaders Quadrant of its 2011 report, “Magic Quadrant for Sales Force Automation.” (1)
Gartner Magic Quadrants position vendors within a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and their ability to execute on that vision.
According to Gartner, “leaders demonstrate a market-defining vision of how technology can help the top sales executives achieve business objectives. Leaders have the ability to execute against that vision through products, services and demonstrated, solid business results in the form of revenue and earnings.”
Gartner adds that, “leaders have significant successful customer deployments in North America, EMEA and the Asia/Pacific region in a wide variety of vertical industries with multiple proof points above 500 users. Leaders are often what other providers in the market measure themselves against.”
