News Facts

Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools” positions Oracle in the Leaders quadrant.(1)
According to Gartner, “Leaders in the data integration tools market are front runners in the convergence of single-purpose tools into an offering that supports a range of data delivery styles.” Gartner continues, “Leaders have significant mind share in the market, and resources that are skilled in their tools are readily available. These vendors establish market trends, to a large degree, by providing new functional capabilities in their products, and by identifying new types of business problems where data integration tools can bring significant value.”
The report notes that “Oracle is increasingly well positioned to address customers’ needs across a full range of their data integration requirements.”
The Gartner Magic Quadrant positions vendors within a particular segment based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision.
