HJØRRING, Denmark & TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A leading IT analyst firm has placed Danish business intelligence software developer TARGIT as a “Niche Player” in the prestigious "Magic Quadrant" (see "Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms" by Rita Sallam et.al., January 2011).

“We are proud to be recognized by analyst firm Gartner as a Niche Player in the Magic Quadrant”, says TARGIT Business Intelligence CEO Morten Sandlykke. “We believe the inclusion in the Quadrant will facilitate our growth in the global market, where we aim to reach 1.5 million users by 2015”.

According to Gartner, “ease of use is now surpassing functionality for the first time as the dominant BI platform buying criterion”. The report also states that “influential business users are increasingly driving BI purchasing decisions, most often choosing easier to use data discovery tools over traditional BI platforms — with or without IT's consent”.

“Ease of use is essentially our product philosophy”, explains TARGIT CTO Morten Middelfart. He is happy that Gartner recognized TARGIT in the report. "We want to give business insight in the fewest clicks, and we feel Gartner recognizes this - not least because of the users' judgments of TARGIT BI Suite".

In addition to ease of use, buyers look at affordability, which gives a vendor like TARGIT momentum.
