Notably, we were also positioned above the 14 other providers evaluated for our ‘ability to execute’ – providing BCMP software that meets customer requirements with a high level of service and customer support. Other criteria included completeness of vision based not just on the provider’s assessment of the current market but also its anticipation of expected market and technology changes.

This is the second time this year Sungard AS has been awarded a top-rated position in one of Gartner’s authoritative global Magic Quadrants.

Commenting on this latest accolade, Louis Grosskopf, General Manager for Business Continuity Software for Sungard AS, said, “Our Assurance^CM BCM software is Facebook-easy, bringing more employees into the process. That’s one reason why more than 600 businesses have chosen Assurance^CM and why, when managing the risks of cyber threats and other business disruptions, they’ll be ready to act immediately.”
