Gartner lists Uniserv in the Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools
Pforzheim, June 2008 – Gartner, Inc. has listed Uniserv in its latest report "Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools"*. The analytical assessment by Gartner is based firstly on the completeness of the corporate vision and secondly on the ability to put this into practice. A total of fourteen internationally operating solution suppliers were included in the Magic Quadrant.
Roland Pfeiffer, CEO of Uniserv Data Quality Solutions GmbH, also sees the inclusion of Uniserv in the Magic Quadrant as confirmation of the chosen path for the realignment of the company: "We are pleased that we are one of the few companies in the world to be listed in the "Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools". This shows that we are successfully putting our corporate strategy as a specialist in the field of data quality solutions into practice. The listing is at one and the same time an accolade and an incentive for us."
The issue of data quality is growing in importance in enterprises and is increasingly being regarded as a strategic success factor and an important business topic, e.g. in BI, data warehouse, CRM or ERP projects. The organizations see a definite need for action with regard to the assessment of the data quality and the introduction of appropriate solutions for its improvement. With its international range of products, Uniserv addresses the most important aspects of data quality - from data analysis and data profiling to standardization, matching, automatic checking and correction on data entry as well as from data enhancement to continuous monitoring. " With a control loop in mind, we are helping companies to improve the data quality in comprehensible steps, in order to develop important potential for optimization", adds Roland Pfeiffer.
For Ulrich Sohn, Director of International Sales at Uniserv, the positioning in the latest market study of Gartner represents "an acknowledgement of our international importance" and he goes on to say that "it is our goal to make our customers more successful through Uniserv solutions.
