London (1st February 2011) - Manhattan Software, the global leader in enterprise real estate software, has just been recognised as a “Leader” by Gartner, Inc., in their latest Magic Quadrant for Integrated Workplace Management Systems* which positions IWMS software companies according to their vision and ability to execute. 

Manhattan Software is a Leader in the Magic Quadrant based on this evaluation. Gartner says that “leaders have strength in applications and platform technology, demonstrate a high level of quality in product reliability and service, have strong operational and organisational capabilities and financial stability, have global reach and offer a strong vision of customer needs, reflected in a robust development road map.”

The Manhattan IWMS solution provides end-to-end capabilities from planning, financial management and budgeting, project management, real estate and portfolio management, facilities and space management, and operations and maintenance.  The benefits of an integrated IWMS approach far outweigh the efforts required to piece together disparate applications.

“Manhattan Software is pleased to see its significant placement as a Leader in the 2011 Gartner Magic Quadrant. Our aggressive global business strategy, financially- and visually-focused real estate and facility management technology products, and innovative partnering opportunities have helped us secure this position,” said Steve Vatidis, CEO of Manhattan Software Global.  “Contradictory to the enterprise real estate market over the past couple of years, the adoption of our products has expanded both horizontally into new and exciting markets and vertically from local, single-module deployments to true enterprise IWMS solutions for Fortune 500 organisations.”
