QualiWare’s Visionary position in the new Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for EA Tools
Blog post by Brenda Cowie, Senior Vice President of North America, QualiWare
The latest Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Architecture tools has been released and it is evident that the enterprise architecture (EA) landscape is evolving faster than ever! Market dynamics have changed with PE interest and M&A activity in the EA vendor space creating larger sized vendors, we can see that footprint, use cases & rankings are shifting somewhat.
Organizations are no longer satisfied with static, documentation-heavy approaches to architecture; they want living models that empower decision-making, accelerate transformation, and align business and IT at scale. In this shifting environment, QualiWare has been recognized as a Visionary in the latest Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Architecture Tools.
While we previously stood in the Leaders quadrant, we view this year’s placement as a Visionary as a clear validation of what makes QualiWare unique: our forward-thinking approach and commitment to supporting our clients with our fully supported on-premise and Saas product options in a market where our clients and prospects tell us , is a competitive advantage. This year’s Visionary placement reflects something different, our commitment to pushing EA forward and giving people the best tools to shape what’s next, reshaping how organizations deliver value through enterprise architecture and putting them light-years ahead of the competition.
“We’re proud to be recognized by Gartner as a Visionary in the Enterprise Architecture Tools Magic Quadrant. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to empowering organizations with a connected, intelligent platform that bridges strategy, transformation, and execution. At QualiWare, we believe enterprise architecture is not just about documentation and managing complexity, it’s about enabling innovation, collaboration, and sustainable change.”
