"In this growing market where companies are focused on improving planning
and efficiencies, Quintiq is pleased to be positioned by Gartner in the 2010
Supply Chain Planning Magic quadrant. We believe this underlines Quintiq's
commitment to providing our customers with industry-leading supply chain
planning solutions that enable them to compete more effectively on a global
scale," said Quintiq CEO Victor Allis.

According to the Magic Quadrant note, "Gartner expects SCP spending to
accelerate in 2010, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 5.7%.
Companies continue to invest in supply chain planning as they recognize that
improving their planning processes is still a significant area of
opportunity.

Gartner defines visionaries in the Magic Quadrant as companies that "have
a coherent and compelling vision and strategy that can deliver a robust and
complete SCP for process automation solution to the market. Visionaries can
be significant vendors that have yet to mature their capabilities fully in
the area of process automation, or they can be smaller vendors with a
compelling vision for how to deliver process automation to users, but they
have not penetrated far enough into the market yet. As such, they likely
could not handle a full range of user requirements across a wide range of
industries. Visionaries usually have strong, appropriate architectures for
the integration and configurability of their SCP solutions to help support
end-to-end, SCP process support. They also allow users to easily change the
solutions to meet the evolving needs of their SCP processes as they execute
continuous improvement activities."

For inclusion in the 2010 Magic Quadrant, each vendor had to meet strict
criteria which included revenue, global coverage, presence in multiple
vertical industries and have a Supply Chain Planning functionality that
covered at least four of the six key functional areas for SCP process
automation: Demand Planning, Inventory Planning, Replenishment Planning,
Available to Promise, Manufacturing Planning and Scheduling (
www.quintiq.com/industries/manufacturing.aspx), and Collaborative
Planning. Vendors were further evaluated on market understanding, product
strategy, vertical/industry strategy, geographic strategy, product/service
and other criteria.
