Leading Analyst Firm Releases the First Independent Analysis of the Application Lifecycle Market
San Francisco, CA July 22, 2008 – voke, inc., a modern analyst firm for the Web 2.0 world, announced today the publication of its 2008 vokeStream “Core Vendors: Application Lifecycle” research which includes the voke Market Mover Array chart for the application lifecycle market. This research examines the market leadership and technology leadership of each vendor discussed. As a result of rigorous qualitative and quantitative analysis, each vendor is ranked in the voke Market Mover Array in one of three bands:
• Pivotal – vendors that are crucial to the continuation of the market and are highly visible
• Influential – vendors of considerable importance that are making an impact on the market in new ways and are viewed as a compelling force
• Transitional – vendors that are at a crossroads in the market, either just entering the category or moving out of a market leadership position without much or any impact on the market
Today, voke is announcing its research and the voke Market Mover Array placement for HP, IBM, Microsoft, and MKS. The analysis provides insight about how each one of the vendors is moving markets beyond the status quo with their unique approach to global lifecycle transformation. Ongoing analysis of core application lifecycle vendors will trigger analytical updates on a continuous basis.
“Today’s announcement of analytical research about core application lifecycle vendors is a significant milestone for the industry,” said Theresa Lanowitz, founder of voke. “It is critical to view the application lifecycle market in a solution-oriented way where work is now performed in a collaborative fashion involving multiple stakeholders. Vendors delivering application lifecycle solutions are shattering barriers and moving markets.”
