Gartner releases latest mid-market manufacturing ERP vendor Magic Quadrant; Axapta rated as “Visionary”

[mazzy]

Summary: At the end of June, Gartner released their first mid-market ERP vendor “Magic Quadrant” (a quadrant based on a vendor’s current market execution and articulated product vision) in over two years. As with the previous two mid-market manufacturing magic quadrants, Microsoft Axapta was included in the ratings. While Axapta has previously been allocated into the “niche player” quadrant (the lowest of the four possible quadrants), the latest ratings have put Axapta firmly into the “Visionary” quadrant. This implies that Axapta has a strong future vision but needs to execute more efficiently in order to be considered a leader in this market.
